[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] OK, I too live in Australia... I saw the Matt Lauer/Today Show "Slang" bit the other day... *Cringe* Nobody speaks like that here... I mean WTF!?! [QUOTE]"Sorry, but I got all tazzly-wazzlied by the boggledoggles, mate." -- Joel Stein, reporting a phrase he heard in Australia, in TIME Magazine.[/QUOTE] Who was this guy speaking to? Either someone with some sort of dementia or he was just a dumb tourist, who was spotted a mile off... That list of terms... Are you telling me that NOONE outside of Australia has heard the term "mate" - in terms of a friend "chemist" - in terms of a pharmacy... *rolls eyes* what about where its got "holiday"!?! I mean sheesh, hasn't anyone heard that song "where all going on a summer holiday" - its not Australian... OK, might be a bit much, but well its not as if there are kangaroos on the streets and stuff... Andrew. P.S. If any of you do come to Australia... the real problem to watch out for are the drop-bears. Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
