# 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.

# I dunno
I've always thought "liquor" sounds quite sophisticated. Compared to, say, "booze", or "haha me and my mates are going to get shit-faced!"
