1. When you make a mistake, you can simply say 'Sorry / Excuse me / Pardon me,' or more expressively like 'I'm sorry about that' or 'Please forgive me.' Usually, the other person says 'No worries (problem / drama)', 'All good', 'that's nothing', or 'That's fine'. Usually, 'No worries' or 'All good' are the most commonly used.

2. How's it going? How're you doing? If you say "Not much," if it's okay, "Good," or a bit harsher, "Pretty good / Bloody good." Sometimes it might sound like slang, but it's also called "Sweet as," which means extremely good   .

3. When someone says they're really tired or lazy, they use the expression 'I'm stuffed.' It seems to be a completely different expression from 'tired of it' or 'sick of it.' It seems like an expression you can use to respond to someone saying, 'The weather is killing today, so let's try something.' Basically, 'I'm stuffed' means 'to be full,' but it can also mean 'very tired' or 'there's a problem.'
