Co-ld ? What is cold?

Heard of that fancy-fangled contraption called a 'freezer'? Imagine those conditions outside. Brr.
And the snow has stopped falling.....

Freezer? We have ice boxes, those 'freezers' are the work of the Devil I tell you.

Meh. Ice boxes, freezers. Same thing. We just call them freezers here.
If they were the work of the Devil wouldn't they be...I don't know...hotter with burning and lava and stuff?

@Fiona, what are you planning? :devil:[/QUOTE]

Ravager, it is easy to become paranoid on this board. Resist that thought. You know I only have the good of SYM at heart

@DJ. You share a word with the americans, and you say we are evil?

It's also easy to see sarcasm or lies where there are none...j/k.

Australia is practically America Down Under. They get they're TV scheules and everything else from the US.

Nononono you completely misunderstand me. I was joking saying we weren't technically advanced, as such, we still had the ice boxes, literally. That's what used to be used about 60 years ago, ice in boxes. Of course we have freezers now, and that's what they are called.

Well, while that is true, and our leader is in love with Bush, and they have a major influence, we are still different. Afterall, we call it tom-a-to, not tom-ato .

Phew

What a relief! Australia isn't tecchnologically backward after all! Nor do they share an American word.

Ditto on the UK.

It had to be said, I don't like being labelled as American .

How about Austro-Amerikani?

*muses* Ravager is probably an englican

While that would make sense, to have something like that organised, you would need to do some work, and frankly, no one will do any.

An englican? Hey! :laugh:

Maybe we can garner inspiration from here... http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Australia

LOL I'd forgotten about unicyclopedia. Great link, Rav. So now we know

That thing you quoted in the HC reminded me of it. It seemed the kind of senseless thing that would be out of Uncyclopedia.

Thankyou very much for that hillarious article. I just pity that you wouldn't get some of the jokes, because you have to be an Aussie to get them (such as the drop bear, it was an ad for a rum company).

Other major exports include Paul Hogan, coon cheese, Tasmanian heroin, shrimp on the barbie, talking koala bears, Yarm, and of course VeeBee..Australian for beer.

That's the one thing I object to, that people think we say 'chuck another shrimp on the barbie'. That was not said by an Australian, and I can prove it... over here we call them prawns.

As in "don't come the raw prawn with me"? Funny, I thought that meant something else.....

Okay, try these too. I didn't really read through that first article, though these ones are also hilarious. If I can get away with posting the links.

Ooh, koalas eat hikers!

Oh stop it I'm laughing my head off... especially with the bit about Howard :laugh: .
