Okay that I can agree with.Vegemite without butter or margarine is kinda boring.

I'm happy I didn't refuse to eat the ,

Okay, I hate Vegemite. However native animals are cool, we have great beaches, weather isn't too bad for the most part and the people are'nt as annoying as many countries seem to have. Yeah, go Aussie Pride, rofl

Why I Love Australian English by HearMeScreamin'

I love the way we have the amazing ability to turn one vowel into three when speaking.

I love the way we shorten words down as far as they can go (mozzie, pressie, chrissie, postie, choccy, barbie (BBQ not plastic), agro (agressive, not the puppet), alco and arvo)
Eg. "I had a hissie at the hossie" = I had a histerectomy at the hospital

I love the way we have the unique ability to nickname anyone.
(Darran - Dazza, Michael - Mick, Barry - Bazza, Anyone with red hair - Bluey, Sharon - Shazza, then you have your Boof's, shorty's (tall people), Curly's (people with straight hair), Davo's, Smithy's, etc.

In conclusion, the Australian variety of English is FUN

All very true.

I actually had a next door neighbour named Sharon and all you hear is her husband yelling,'Shazza!Bring the kids inside now!'Oh they were the best neighbours we ever had.

Deano · 07-15-2004, 06:17 AM

i have a neighbour named sharon . have to start calling her shazza .. lol . but she's really loud n noisy. i should like do something to get even. she's getting kicked out soon so

. no more shazza

Alright i'm also a complete dr0k.

I love vegemite... in any amounts

I love to sing "I am, You are, We Are Australian" or any Australian song, especially on Australia Day.

I also love that we spend the entire Australia Day making our way down to the fireworks, then sit there 4 hours drinking alcohol, watch 10 minutes of fireworks... then pack it all up and make our way home. (Thats what happens here anyway)

I am so fuckin proud at Olympics and any sporting event when our flag is raised and the National Anthem is played and you can hear the Aussies singing loud and clear in the crowd

*points to Why I Love Australian English by HearMeScreamin' post*
I couldn't have summed it up any better myself

and there's nothing i love better than watching a great game of AFL

*****

What ChaosBererich said is true though, it's natural to think our state is the 'better' one, but if someone said a part of Iraq was a 'better' part... I wouldn't move an inch. It's Australia as a whole that makes each place a desirable place to live... so fuck yea go Australia!!!

Oh yeah, and i love our acceptance of slang... it's 'Fuckin Ay'!!!
The way it can be used in such a friendly way...
eg. "come here ya fucker" = "I haven't seen you in ages!!!"

- Teh Australian Goat

fuck that was an essay and a half
