gsoup:try that with one from each island
Is that New Zealand? They have a Nth and a Sth Island.
Australia is one big continent with a few smaller islands littered around the shores.
ANY WGT friend is welcome to a few shouts of amber ales down at the local rubbity dub.
Unfortunately the 'Aussie Strine" in my OP isn't my usual dialect.
I'm From Sth Australia originally our accents aren't quite as strong as my buddies in the eastern states.
Having said that, we are slowly losing some of our colourful language.
The true Aussie Digger slang is fading away slowly and surely. Some of it is here to stay, but a lot of the true Aussie slang, is usually only found in the outback pubs now.
We have a rising star in TV at the moment, Shane Jacobsen, perhaps some of you have seen him in his first movie 'Kenny; it was about his life as a porta-loo operator.
Find it in your local DVD shop, worth a watch.
He is the only recent media personality to still have a real Aussie twang to his language.
Heres the trailer to the movie.
"There's a smell in here, thats gonna outlast religion!"
"This is a crazy time of year, its just going bonkers, its as silly as a bum full of smarties"
Now y'all have Merry Christmas y'hearl!
Shine on... . .
