Australia!!!! FTW

Ah HAH! I found an Aussie thread - thanks to Peachii - so I'm indulging in thread necromancy.

Rural Qld. here (when I'm home).

The Oi! Oi! thing is NOT good. Let's speak 'strine.

I suggest 'On yer mate!' or 'Ave a go yer mug!'

Anyway, she'll be right fellers (or, as the case may be, fellerettes, i.e. grouse sheilas)

Did you try and fit as many aussie stereotypes as possible into one post?

Actually, no. I'd welcome your assistance though. Perhaps you could add a few more?

How about we all just post pictures of steve irwin. That's what australians look like to americans anyway due to him.

It occurs to me that trying to squeeze as many Australianisms into one post as possible would likely result in an instant probation.

Bugger that.

Oh dear Charan. You have descended to the vernacular!

The Australian stereotype I would endorse would be a mature individual, concerned with the wider world and with at least some level of academic interest. He/She/It would be a cultured individual, able to toss together a Shakespearean sonnet at the drop of a pentameter, familiar with the works of Bach, Beethoven and Dvorak and have a lively interest in sculpture and the graphic arts

Woddaya reckon mate? Any chance?

Pull up a sheep an' make yerself comfy while I do yer up a 'rooburger an' a cuppa billy tea with a bit o' damper whiles yer nut it out.

Catch yer later cobs!

But of course dear sir (or mayhap madam). Pray permit me to elucidate...

'Please recline on this elegant chaise longue which is upholstered with a material of organic and environmentally friendly origin. Meanwhile I shall busy myself preparing a delighttful repast consisting of a wine marinated portion of low fat meat barbecued to perfection and served with vegetables de jour. May I then tempt you with a herbal infusion of ancient and exotic origin, to whit Orange Pekoe tea, that beverage which the renowned essayist Charles Lamb has eulogised in his own immortal words? Might I also tempt you with a small portion of this fragrant Antipodean cuisine which is called by those domiciled under the Southern Cross "Damper'

When suitably refreshed you may then wish to consider the small matter which I have laid before you.

I await your response with considerable eagerness'

That do yer matey?. It's in reel Pommie English an' all!

I feel a cultural cringe coming on.
