Ok blokes and sheila, I admit I often forget some of our slang and lingo can be daunting especially when we tend to speak naturally alot faster than many of our US allies but ironically the Canucks NEVER have an issue with understanding us - must be something about the Queen and all.
So after some humourous messages sent to me over the last few weeks on this forum and and some others I have decided to give you the opportunities to toss a few words my way for a translation. But before we go any further:
1. Fosters is disgusting, hence why it is perfect for cleaning your BBQ
2. Outback steakhouse is pure rubbish as I have dined in the USA and Australia and would prefer Hooters (thank you USA) with meatpies and beers on the menu.
3. Yes our whole country stops at 1500 on the 1st Tuesday in November over a 2 mile horserace as work parties and approved betting is allowed.
4. Our national anthem actually has 5 verses with most people struggling to do the first 1 (which is common in all sporting events).
This might help: http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html
See ya round like a rissole,
Hoo Roo.
