I never met an Aussie that wasn't quick-witted. Alan will get it like a lizard drinking.

I made the mistake of calling my best friend (whos a kiwi) an aussie when I first met her.

Since then I've thoroughly enjoyed explaining to her that I can't tell the difference between the kiwi and aussie accents

her reply is always "but but but aussies sounds so WHINY!!"

I think you both need to learn to drive on the right side of the road and then learn that a "fanny" is not what you think it is. Its a childs bottom that you spank when they've been bad you pervs

Put another shrimp on the Barbie.

I get it.

I also belong to a Led Zeppelin forum. We were all posting our username meanings. Some UK members thought I meant dOdgey, which is totally different.

Yeah it's a crime what losers do to the language. . . . :twisted:

The Gay 1890's of Taluselatrec, & Follies "whatever", sure as hell had a different meaning than the gay 1990s we just came through a decade ago.

As a Lad of Scottish desent Gay used to mean a good time like Holidays, vacations or special events to me & my folks . . . .not no mo' tho'
Call me a gay laddie today & I just might issue a dose of hot lead poisoning in response to the accusation :evil:

Don't let it get to ya Rip. Hardcore druggies don't last all that long and their replacements will steal another word or phrase to muck up. :roll:
