Ozzie Slang.

Inspired by a PM, I decided to share with all you crazy foreigners a little insight into the somewhat insane ramblings that us Aussies rant on about. You should allllll definately check this site out:

http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html

Some are DEFINATLEY used more than others... heh. But if you guys get called something, or something does not make sense, check out this site... may put things into context.

Edit: stupidity.

I thought you said the PM had inspired you, as in, Howard [img]graemlins/uhoh1.gif[/img] . I dreaded to think what he might have come out with... did anyone hear how the other day he summed up how the campaign was going in cricket terms? The coalition was 3 for 268, and Costello had scored a sparkling 67... [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/idontagreeatall.gif[/img]

Although I disagree with the definition of fair dinkum. I was informed with great authority that it meant man of steel...

Your title made me think of Ozzie Osbourne. I thought you were going to break down his lyrics for us.
