Re: First (and hopefully not last) Post and using both flash connectors

I think my point was really that much of this was mother country slang, 
rather than specifically Australian slang.  Much of it is also found in 
other parts of the English-speaking world, like Texas and Jamaica, which 
are two places you and I have in common (if I remember correctly).

It's certainly entertaining, though I don't think the author can have 
been
to Britain.  Half his words/phrases are found in Britain, and most, like
"arse" are definitely not imports from Australia.  Arse in fact is 
Saxon,
and came to Britain a very, very long time ago.
A LOT of them are found far from both Britain & Australia, not just in 
Britain
as you may not have meant to imply.
