Don't get too happy ... in Australian its closer to 'very little' and nowhere near as rude ... professors can get away with saying 'You can discard that term, its pretty much buggerall' but saying '... its pretty much no f__king' not only sounds weird, it'll get them into trouble! Having said that, I have heard that during the 2k Sydney Olympics, one of the catchcries in the US was "Don't Bonk" ... slogans of that nature appeared on a variety of merchandise that unsuspecting American tourists wore around Sydney Olympic Park. That elicted real weird responses here because in Australia (and until I saw that advertisment, I assumed this was the same in America), 'bonk' == 'f__k' ... so "Don't Bonk" really DOES mean "No F__king"! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
