When you tell foreign people that all we do all day is wrestle crocodiles and ride kangaroos all day.
when u read this thread and realise that ur wearing a sheerers singlet with rips in it!! when u also realise that not 2 hrs ago, u had a beer with dinner!! Dammit i can just write everything i ve done tonite!! when u hopped on the computer after watching a 2hr video on 1990 aussie rules football!! when u sms ur friends telling them that earlier that day u ran into mick fanning and said g'day to him (mick fanning the pro aussie surfer) and ur friend replies that she was surfing at snapper (gold coast) and walked past joel parkinson (no 1 aussie pro surfer) when u buy a bottle of wine and get a free carton of beer with it, only to finish them both at dinner and going out and buying another bottle of wine just for the free beer and then realising that u could ve just bought the beer!! when u have the air con on in the start of winter!! when u miss the wedding of camilla and charles to watch AFL, although im sure everyone tuned out for that one!! theres too many more so ill leave it at that!!
yeah.... when you shorten words to weirdly cutesy names, like footy, rolly, middy, chocky, pressy, stubby, things like that..... i can't get over it! hahaa.... also, if you use the word "heaps" at least once in every 4 sentences. actually it's getting to be a habit with me lately too, and i'm pronouncing "yeah" more aussie-like, too... i don't know how to write it though.
So true! You know yr an aussie when u know the modified version of the next line in this Angels song. Am I ever gonna see your face again .................................................?????
I love our sense of humour, for instance that Camilla looks like the back and of a busted ute. But how about Charles looking like the FA cup from behind. You're an aussie guy when you actually have to think about playing in the footy grand final vs attending the birth of your child. You're an aussie girl if you like a cold beer with the boys. I think it's as funny as all hell when foreigners (americans) asked around the time of the olympics, stupid questions like: Do you wear high heels in your country? Can you buy milk in your country? Do kangaroos hop down the main streets? It amazes me that people still think we all say bloke and sheila, look like dundee or steve irwin, live on bondi beach, have roos as pets, that neighbours and home and away are similar to where we all live. I'm glad our accent is the hardest to copy, i'd hate anyone else sounding like us. Remember the simpson's episode when they came here? When are yanks going to learn that they CAN'T do out accent. They sound cockney and completely stupid. Why is the only place aussies are from when we are featured in yank shows, from sydney? It is not the only city. Carn Melbourne (and the BLUES)
No Way get fucked Fuck off! You know your an Aussie when you leave for an overseas trip and triple check that you haven't forgotten to pack a jar of Vegimite. Also, when your not sure of all the words to the National Anthem, but you do know all the words to Khe San
When your friends are Stevo, Shazza, Benno, Bazza and Wazza And, you don't have a meat pie without tomato sauce
will someone marry me so i can move to oz? serious replies only, please. currently located in nyc. origin: europe.
An american once asked me if we had a slang word for diareah (sp?)... so i coined the term "poo-floods"......now my friends use it, and the americans i met while over there use it! hehe i think it's great...but man americans can be dumb, what they will believe about what "we" do!
I like that we are in our own little world surrounded by water. People don't completely get us, only if they have been here. There is a lot of misthoughts about us. I'm not particularly bothered though unless someone gets it really wrong. Like, we all have roos as pets (bloody hell) You know you're an Aussie when you pick your friends on the basis of whether they are Ford fans or Holden (Go Ford)
