Ker-ching!Yep, we're singing off the same hymn sheet.
"Offie" is short for "off-licence", ie premises that have a licence to sell alcohol for consumption off the premises.
These days we're so sophisticated, we also do tinnies. Actually, it's mostly tinnies. Well, it is for me, anyway.

"bottle shop", "offie"In the U.S., round my parts at least, it's just a "liquor store".
How boring.
