Actually, Gunner, that is a uniquely Australian expression. Our brit
forefathers may well have provided the language framework, but the
expression is ours.


But then...in Cockney Rhyming Slang...Brits = Turds

And Aussies = ****

Fascinating.
Now... what is it *you* would normally say here?

Oh yes!

Cites?

Brit rhymes with ****, which is the same as Turd

Aussie rhymes with Bossy...which was my ex...who was a ****.

Simple, no?

"[L]iberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group, they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core, and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr
