Early Mark
I was chatting with a friend today who was heading out of work early, and I said, “Lucky you, getting an early mark!” They looked puzzled and asked, “Who’s Mark?”

Is this a saying that’s just common in NSW?

One thought on “Early Mark”

  1. It sounds like “early mark” is a colloquial expression that some people use to refer to leaving work early. It’s not exclusive to NSW, but it may not be as widely understood everywhere, which could explain your friend’s confusion. Different regions often have their own slang phrases, so it can be a fun way to learn about local expressions! Have you come across any other sayings that might stump someone from a different area?
