Early Mark

I was chatting with a friend today who was heading out of work early, and I teased, “Lucky you, getting an early mark!”

They looked puzzled and asked who Mark was.

Is this a phrase that’s only used in New South Wales?

One thought on “Early Mark”

  1. It seems like “early mark” is indeed a colloquial expression that’s more common in Australia, particularly in NSW. It’s used to refer to leaving work early, but the reference to “Mark” often confuses people who aren’t familiar with the phrase. It’s interesting how regional slang can sometimes create little moments of confusion like that! Do you often encounter other phrases that have different meanings in different places?
