![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first two posts were good, but the last one really made me laugh. Nicely done, Grant ![]() Now, courtesy of National Geographic, some Australian History: Australia was founded as a British penal colony in 1771, as the worst punishment the pasty Brits could think of was sunshine and warm weather. It currently boasts a population of of roughly 20 million citizens- a remarkably high figure considering the scarcity of vaginal intercourse during those first few decades. A hard-to-understand people, Australians are known around the world for their accents and slang, with the last word of formal English believed to have been spoken in Sydney around 1971. Common phrases include "g'day mate", which is slang for "hello, friend", "crikey", which is slang for "wow", and "pass us a tinny ya bugga", which is slang for "g'day mate". Still, one should avoid stereotypes and sweeping generalizations when it comes to describing Australians, as they all carry large hunting knives between their teeth and wrestle dangerous reptiles for sport. ![]()
