blechhh....... You have to be kidding me, Tony. As a fellow Aussie, I can authoritively state that _nobody_ talks like that. Of course, there may be a few exceptions, for example the very small number of people who live out away from the cities... If someone said any of those things in casual conversation, everyone else would look at them strangely. *This* is why people think that australian's are wierd... we're not, but this person is a Steve Irwin impersonator at best :oP *LART* *LART*... okay, I'll stop now. ===================================================== .______<-------------------\__ / _____<--------------------__|=== ||_ <-------------------/ \__| Mr Trick >From: Tony Steward <tsteward at dodo.com.au> >Reply-To: EUforum at topica.com >To: EUforum <EUforum at topica.com> >Subject: RE: [OT] Re: Referencing Nested Sequences >Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2003 20:17:23 +1000 > > >Yeah Mate were good at rhyming slang, >Dogs Eye = Meat Pie >Dead Horse = Tomato Source >Hit the frog & toad = hit the road >Sky Rocket = Hip Pocket >Dog & Bone = Telephone >A Captain Cook = Take A Look >On my Pat Malone = I'm alone >Pigs ear = beer >Horse's hoof = Poof >Oxford scholar = Dollar >Bangers & mash = sausages & mashed potato >Pigs in a blanket = sausage sandwich > >And there are many more > >Catcha later > >Tony Steward > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Dan Moyer [mailto:DANIELMOYER at prodigy.net] > > Sent: Monday, 9 June 2003 3:21 PM > > To: EUforum > > Subject: [OT] Re: Referencing Nested Sequences > > > > > > Ricardo, > > > > I saw some show visiting Australia which explained some Aussie terms, > > including "larrikin", but I can't for the life of me remember what it > > meant, > > all I thought I remembered is that it made sense once you heard it. > > Googled > > suggests "thug", historically, and perhaps "beloved iconoclast"(?) or > > "fond > > rabble-rouser" currently.
