Afternoon, as in "See you Saturday arvo."
It is often used in the phrase 'this arvo',
which is sometimes shortened to 'sarvo' -
"meet you after the game, sarvo."
Arvo is an example of a special feature of Australian English,
the habit of adding -o to an abbreviated word.
Other such words are 'bizzo' (business) and 'journo' (journalist).
