G'day Frank. Mate, You are a bloody Aussie aren't ya? If your not, You aught to be. If you ever get to OZ, and talk like that. The customs bloke will just say "G'day mate. Welcome home digger" And wave you through. While the rest of the sheeple will be standing in line for hours.

That Ausie Slang Dictionary is ace. Should I ever find myself in Oz, sitting in a bar somewhere back of Bourke, watching a bit of Aerial Ping Pong, whilst sipping the amber fluid, I'll be able to figure out what the barflies are on about, ay? For instance, ockers may notice me lift my middy and say, "Oooo, your a mollydorker then aren't you?", and I won't be nacked and hit them with a nulla-nulla. The last thing I want to do is square off because a bunch of stickybeaks are throwing strine at me that I don't understand! Anyway, sometimes it's best to just fix up your jack and jill then hit the frog and toad, rather than chuck a wobbly over a guy who's pissed as a family fart. But I digress. I"m off for a kip.
