(way off topic: feel free to ignore, friendly joke) (please read with the glossary so as not to offend) How to, (take the piss out of), a Australians strange language: (G'day) (cobber), No (wuzzers) (mate). That was 192 (strine) (bucks) or 125 (yank) (bucks) for the SI membership. (Strewth), (I'd be flat out like a lizard drink'n) to find a flight for that price. If you (reckon) ya can find tickets for that price you should all get into ya holiday (clobber) and come and have a (dekko) at our fair country. I was (having a go at) Linda, cause she seems like the sort of a (sheila) that doesn't mind a small joke. I wouldn't ask anybody to grab us a G3 and bring it here. I don't wanna start a (blue) here or nuthing but my first post was just a joke its way to (crook) to seriously ask a stranger to do that. I live in (bloody woop woop) to far down the (frog and toad) to make casual visits. I (reckon) SI is just (beaut), (I'll be buggered if I) have a clue about this trading (capper) but. (hoo roo) (Fair dinkum) (true blue) (Aussie) Matt *note: notice we end sentences sometimes with a "but".. weird huh? Glossary frog and toad = road hoo roo = see you later Fair dinkum = honest. true blue = Australian from birth, decendants are Australian (possibly not a politically correct definition today) Aussie = Australian. a annoying habit of Americans is to spell it ozzie. This is incorrect I think it was brought about because of the singer ozzie ozborn. Lets not start on how badly Americans actually say "Aussie".... make my blood curdal. capper = thing I'll be buggered if I = I don't bloody woop woop = Miles away crook = no good/ bad/ sick blue = fight/disagreement having a go = playing/ can also mean fighting but doesn't in this case. sheila = lady dekko = look. clobber = clothes strewth = wow!! to take the piss out of = tease G'day = hello, this is a greeting not a fairwell HerbVic. cobber = friend wuzzers = problems/worries mate = friend/replace mate with name i.e HerbVic strine = Australian bucks = Dollars, we say bucks more than quid yank = American flat out like a lizard drink'n = busy P.S. this is not my usual language ;) and i hope i haven't offended anyone. Thanks for the welcome HerbVic :)
