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?

It sounds like “early mark” is a colloquial expression that some people use to refer to leaving work early.
