Basic Guide To Aussie Life
1. The bigger the hat, the smaller the farm. 2. The shorter the nickname, the more they like you. 3. Whether it's the opening of Parliament, or the launch of a new art gallery , there is no Australian event that cannot be improved by a sausage sizzle. 4. If the guy next to you is swearing like a wharfie he's probably a media billionaire. Or on the other hand, he may be a wharfie. 5. There is no food that cannot be improved by the application of tomato sauce. 6. On the beach, all Australians hide their keys and wallets by placing them inside their sandshoes. No thief has ever worked this out. 7. Industrial design knows of no article more useful than the plastic milk crate. 8. All our best heroes are losers. 9. The alpha male in any group is he who takes the barbecue tongs from the hands of the host and blithely begins turning the snags. 10. It's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to hold. 11. A thong is not a piece of scanty swimwear, as in America, but a fine example of Australian footwear. A group of sheilas wearing black rubber thongs may not be as exciting as you had hoped. 12. It is proper to refer to your best friend as "a total bastard". By contrast, your worst enemy is "a bit of a bastard". 13. Historians believe the widespread use of the word "mate" can be traced to the harsh conditions on the Australian frontier in the 1890s, and the development of a code of mutual aid, or "mateship". Alternatively, Australians may just be really hopeless with names. 14. The wise man chooses a partner who is attractive not only to himself, but to the mosquitoes. 15. If it can't be fixed with pantyhose and fencing wire, it's not worth fixing. 16. The most popular and widely praised family in any street is the one that has the swimming pool. 17. It's considered better to be down on your luck than up yourself. 18. The phrase "we've got a great lifestyle" means everyone in the family drinks too much. 19. If invited to a party, you should take cheap red wine and then spend all night drinking the host's beer. (Don't worry, he'll have catered for it). 20. If there's any sort of free event or party within a hundred kilometres, you'd be a mug not to go. 21. The phrase "a simple picnic" is not known. You should take everything you own. If you don't need to make three trips back to the car, you're not trying. 22. Unless ethnic or a Pom, you are not permitted to sit down in your front yard, or on your front porch. Pottering about, gardening or leaning on the fence is acceptable. Just don't sit. That's what backyards are for. 23. The tarred road always ends just after the house of the local mayor. 24. On picnics, the Esky is always too small, creating a food versus grog battle that can only ever be solved by leaving the food behind. |
god i love being an aussie :p

The Great Australian Male
There are large men the whole world over on a large and varied scale, But none of them resemble the Great Australian Male. He's rugged and he's handsome, he drinks beer instead of wine, he's always out for pleasure, of a very simple kind. He's either off to see the footy with a dozen cans or more, or fishing with his buddies, getting drunk along some shore. He thinks he's quite a lover, and he's sexy and discreet, that he can get you in a quiver from your head down to your feet. But when he's got you ready, lying limpid 'neath the sheet, you hear a snore and turn around to find him sound asleep. He's a funny sort of fellow with more pride than he's got sense and if you told him he was wrong, he'd only take offence. Oh, there are men who take you dancing, out to dinner twice a week. men who never dress in faded jeans or die to take a leak. Yes there are men the whole world over men with "charm" and "sense of style", but how could we compare them to The Great Australian Male |
The Beer Prayer
Our Lager Which art in barrels Hallowed be thy drink Thy will be drunk ( I will be drunk ) At home as if in tavern Give us this day our foamy head And forgive us our spillages As we forgive those who spill against us And lead us not to incarceration But deliver us from hangovers For thine is the beer, the bitter, the lager For ever and ever.... barmen |

Q: How many Australian men does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None. It's a woman's job |
How can you not love a country, that takes itself so un-seriously as to pick a song like "Waltzing Matilda" as its national anthem?
|
Wlatzing Matilda is NOT the National Anthem
I am an Aussie Aussie Aussie, OI OI OI!!!!
From Launceston in Tasmania, Australias Island State, smallest in area and population but the second established colony of European settlement. The Australian national anthem is 'Advance Australia Fair' not Waltzing Matailda'. sorry to our our friendly previous post, but you are dead wrong Mate lol. However you are forgiven but its your shout when we meet orlright? a few bits of australian slang for all you people who think we dont speak english Bludger - someone who is lazy beyond the black stump - far away - in the outback drongo - stupid Bastard - can be an insult or a term of endearment. If you met your best mate and greeted him 'with owyergoin you stupid bastard' he would grin and say 'orlright you fat gutted bald prick' and that would be considered friendly. However if you called someone you didn't know a bastard, then that would be extremely insulting. Its not the actual words its the way they are delivered. Root - some thing that holds up trees but also slang for fuck. So if an american comes to australia and says she is rooting for a team, it will be greeted with first, astonishment and then laughter a coldy - a beer also known as a tinny (a can of beer) a stubbie ( a small bottle of beer) a Darwin stubby is a fucking huge bottle of beer sheila - a woman bloke - a man Some nick names that confuse Bluey - guy with red hair Shorty - a tall man the best nickname I heard was a bloke in the Air Force and he was called buff. It wasnt till about a year after I was working with him and calling him Buff that I found out that it stood for Bloody Useless Fat Fool. it was an apt description and so australian that buff accepted the nickname with pride. I am proud to be an Aussie and appreciate our culture of giving people a fair go, having the ability to laugh at ourselves and being friendly and forthright. I also enjoy meeting people from other nations and getting to know them and making friendships. Pixies is a bloody ripper of a site and I enjoy it a lot. Good on yezl Ian M aka Grumbleguts |
Grumbleguts
BUFF is also slang for the B-52 (Big Ugly Fat Fucker) a yank term. A Darwin Stubby is just a dear way to buy a six pack. I suspect Zoid was taking the piss on Matilda. |
Some more Aussie trivia
It is true that our Official National Anthem is "Advance Australia Fair"
But Aussies have adopted "Waltzing Matilda" as it Unofficial Nation Anthem And then we have The Royal Anthem...."God Save The Queen" About the Aussie flag The Australian flag is composed of three parts: The Union Jack (British flag) in the top left corner, The 'Star of Federation' in the bottom left corner, and The Southern Cross, taking up the right half of the flag. The Union Jack shows that the first colonisation by Europeans was by Britain. The Star of Federation is a seven pointed star. They came to the number seven, by giving each state (six in all) a point on the star, and having one more point for Australia's territories (of which there are several). There are two mainland territories, and several overseas, including two in Antarctica. The Southern Cross is a constellation that can be seen from all of Australia's states and territories. |
I stand corrected... I had heard or read that was the national anthem, & it stuck in my Useless Trivia File... but my post was & is intended as a compliment, I'll try to get my facts straight in the future

nah, she's apples Scotz...some aussies even think we should change it to that.
as grumbleguts said "your shout" - you'll be everyones mate then some more trivia for you Scotz - Waltzing Matilda was written by the great Australian poet Andrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson. The words that are generally sung are not the original words written. |

"She's apples" = everything is ok
"your shout" is short for your shout for the next round of drinks....in other words your turn to pay for them :D |
Oh..uh...ok...I, uh... think I hear my wife calling... uh, next time, ok?

You can run but you can't hide. A Pint of Buttercotch schnapps please. In your own time. OF |
