Your username sounds like you're either originally from Dublin but are in Australia or originally an Australian but are in Dublin.

I'm a veritable Aussie dictionary!!

Just a few nights ago I was out and some drunk aussie wandered up to me and handed me his tie slurring 'you wearr thiss!', I made
sure to tell him what a flamin' mongrel, galah, and a few other things that he was (he loved it!).


My influences include

Paul Hogan
Steve Irwin
Alf Ramsey (tho I dislike Home and Away)
Brad Willis (Neighbours)

and most importantly: Joe Mangel

Actually not really. Most people in Australia don't actually talk like Alf Stewart at all and he just stereotypes Australian males.

Okay, okay, enough of the pointless chit-chat. Take it to PM if you want to continue, please.

All off-topic and pointless posts have been deleted.

Well if you lived in Tassie you'd be alright as far as the drought is concerned, last time their water was at 80 something % but it might be lower now.

LilKitty after reading this I reckon you will as mad as a cut snake.

You are right except most city people dont talk like Alf Stewart but a lot of the country folk do.

Same as Ireland Dubliners talk different than west country people.

I have lot friends use a lot of stereotype Aussie terms and they are all top blokes.

I wasn't implying no Australians talk like him at all but he is the excessive breed and therefore the stereotype. Do you honestly know that many guys who say "Stone the flaming crows", "Streugth(or however it's spelled), "Flamin Mongrel" and those sort of things on a daily basis? Honestly? Cos I can tell you not ever country area is like that, I lived in one till I was 6 and have vacationed in some and it was never that extreme! Also I wasn't saying people who talk like that are morons or anything, I was saying they're not a common occurrence and we are talking about the extreme male aussie talking Alf Stewart model here.

Ha ha you are right most guys I know would'nt say that they would have used more swear words so maybe the above is just made for TV.......... but in saying that most Aussies are very like Irish people and use colourful phrases to spice up English which tends to be a boring Language.

P.S

should have be ...... will be as mad as a cut snake

Yes that's true but I suppose all countries with a primary language of English do that to some degree. The English do, use words such as "sodding"(or is it with just one d?). The Americans(of USA) have things like bling and crib that have caught on elsewhere but, bling being the main example, but many are still used more often by them.
