Bin usually means trash can, lemonade is like 7-up, to ring means to call someone. Spot on means something similar to right on the money and being "cross" means you're being stern with someone, like you're mad at them. And I think full stop is similar to the meaning of going full out.

Bin. That depends on the rest of the sentence. A bin is a garbage disposal or it could be the New Zealand accent meaning Been ie been somewhere.
Lemonade is a soda drink or the english would call it pop.
lemon slushie is a drink that has turned to ice but not frozen solid it's still a bit slushie.
To ring is to phone someone.
Cross also depends on the sentence. It could mean to cross the road to the other side or it could mean to be a bit angry.
full stop is at the end of a sentence.
Spot on means correct

Bin- is where you put the rubbish... i think americans call it a trash can...

Lemonade - is a fizzy drink that is supposed to be lemon flavoured though now it is more just sweet and fizzy...

Lemon slushie - i'm not positive because i haven't heard of a "lemon" slushie but a slushie is soft drink or cordial made into a drink made of ice but the ice is all chopped up really small so you can drink it...

to ring- is to make a phone call

cross- a cross is either something in the shape of an "x" or it means that you are angry

full stop- a full stop is the same thing as the american equivalent of a period it is one of these '.' just the dot at the end of a sentence

spot on- to be spot on it means that you are exactly correct it is perfect

Bin - garbage can / trash can.
Lemonade - lemon flavoured drink usually fizzy, soda / pop. We call them fizzy drinks or soft drinks.
Lemon slushie - slushies / iceys / slurpies (crushed flavoured ice in a cup).
To ring - call someone on the telephone.
Cross - not sure, this could have several meanings. To cross the road / the cross shape / cross as a mood (angry).
Full stop - the dot after sentences>.<
Spot on - you got it / that's correct.

Weird.. I didn't know nobody else called it a fullstop. Do you all call them "periods" over there?
