[The Other Guy]

Sorry to rain on your parade there Wally, but alot of those 'slangs' came from Britain.

I know, because I grew up with them too. I grew up in a region where the first Western
Europeans landed in North America (excluding the Vikings of course).

[ For the record, Columbus was not a Western European. He was actually Italian.]

Don't let my POST discourage you from posting more of these 'Slangs'.

I like to see the ones I recognize, and like even more to see the ones I don't.

"Throw-in somethin' on the Barbi" (made famous worldwide by Paul Hogan) has got to be one of
the most notable Aussie 'slangs' of the 1990s. (But, I am sure there is allot more.) - notice
I used 'allot' instead of 'alot' (which you are probably more familiar with !!!) ;-)

Who in Canada is using "allot" except as in "allot a share to"?...In your
context, it should have been "a lot'.

So says the language police, :).

No -- they started in America -- & apparently did quite well there by
the looks of things....

When U have a good business venture -- stick with it....

They are an American phenomena, tho, a cross-over or hybrid of American
& Australian cultures (well, sort of)....

The Main Restaurants we have here are:

Maccas (McDonalds)
La Porchettas (Italian)
Smorgys (all-U-can-eat smorgasbord restaurant)
KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken)
Pizza Hut
Hungry Jacks (same as Burger King)
Taco Bills (same as Taco Bells)
Red Rooster (chicken fast food take-away)
Subway (sandwiches in bread rolls)

They are the main national chains -- but their are also smaller chains
which are not as well known nationally)

Do you mean 'Bush Tucker' restaurants? (Aboriginal foods and the like)
There's one in the Arid Lands Botanic Garden north of Port Augusta
called (IIRC) The Blue Bush. (Port Augusta is about 50 miles from here)
Never eaten there, but it's supposed to be good tucker but rather
expensive and the portions are fairly small. ie Tourist oriented.
If you mean what restaurants are there in the outback the short answer
is bugger all except at the tourism spots and larger communities like
Alice Springs. There are several very flash hotels at Uluru
(traditional name for Ayers Rock) and they are supposed to be good.
Friends of mine stayed at the Four Seasons there and reckoned it was
pretty good all round, but a bit pricey unless you go there in the off
season (summer - 48c in the shade).

Well, seeing as they're in English, no great surprise. However, I din't
recognise much of the idiom, and it certainly had an Australian feel to it,
showing they most certainly HAVE developed their own recognisable ergot
since they got kicked out of the home country for stealing stuff. And fair
dinkum to them.

=========================

[The Other Guy]

"No Kidding" about asking someone from Australia if there is such thing as an Aussie Style
Restaurant in Australia. I am sure, that it would just be called a Restaurant (or, in some
cases, a "Local / Aboriginal" Named Restaurant).

That's like asking and an America if they have a Hamburger Stand (north and central eastern
region) or Taco Stand (south western region) in America. [Next they will be asking someone
from Thailand if they have any Tai Style Restaurants.]

George E. Porchie / George E. Porchy - main character in one of those
baffling and inconsequent nursery rhymes with which Strine parents have
for so long brainwashed their unfortunate children. Nauseatingly coy
and yet loaded with disturbing ambiguity, it has been conceived with
the obvious intention of engendering a sense of bewildered insecurity
in the psyche of the innocent child. (For those who are unfamiliar
with the rhyme, the authorized version is as follows: “George E.
Porchy kissed the girls and made them cry And doesn't know where to
find them. And his bullets were made of lead, lead, lead, And cockle
shells all in a row.” The unhealthy emphasis on sex - presented as
something terrifying; something which makes one cry. The equivocal
melancholy of, “doesn't know where to find them”. Note the
neo-colonial imperialistic line about bullets; and finally those cockle
shells - all in a row like a lot of undemocratic automata. Surely this
is calculated to corrupt and deprave. Surely children should be told
only the clean, straight-forward realistic tales of violence and horror
that their little minds crave, and which fit them so well for the world
of today. All this provocative and menacing symbolism of bullets and
cockle shells must surely induce nightmares and inhibit the normal
kicking of playmates' shins and the happy gouging out of little eyes.
Fortunately, recent research into early Strine history has brought to
light important new facts about George E. Porchy. He was, in fact,
just a lovable old poisoner and a great favourite of little girls
everywhere. This means that the whole squalid incident of the cockle
shells can be forgotten, and the rhyme rewritten somewhat as follows:
“George E. Porchy kissed the girls And wrapped them round with furs
and pearls. He stroked their cheeks and called them “Honey” And gave
them little bags of money. He gave them cognac with their coffee, And,
finally, some home-made “toffee”. He said, as rigor mortis followed,
‘It must have been something that they swallowed.'”) Giorgio Eduardo
Porchy was the only son of Allegro and Lucrezia Borgia, who migrated
from Italy to this country in 1852 where they changed their name to
Porchy and established a small poisoning anf garroting shop in a
prosperous goldmining town near Bendigo. Giorgio, a bright boy with a
happy nature, took to poisoning effortlessly. When he was twelve both
his parents died suddenly in rather mysterious circumstances, and he
immediately took over the shop, which he built up into a thriving
business. For a while he had a little trouble wuth the authorities, who
tended to be rather conservative in their ways. Fortunately, however,
the police sergeant and the local magistrate were both women - the
handsome Durberville sisters, daughters of the local dairyman. This no
doubt is the origin of the preposterous libel about “kissed the girls
and made them cry over spilt milk”. Anyway, the likeable young George
soon won their hearts and married them. He soon inherited the dairy
from their father, who had passed away unexpectedly an hour or so after
the wedding breakfast, and he successfully combined the two businesses.
Eventually he became mayor, then local member, and finally a senator,
and was for many years one of the most popular figures in the district.
After his murder the local citizens, whose number had by this time
dwindled to about twenty-five, erected a monument to his memory in the
form of a bronze statue holding aloft a smoking test-tube, and
surrounded by a group of happy little girls waving arsenical lipsticks.
Issuing from his smiling lips is an elegant bronze “balloon” on which
is inscribed his family motto: “Spero non Taedium” – “I hope I
haven't Borgia”. (Afferbeck Lauder. Let Stalk Strine. -

upright and popular Behr family - Father, Mother, Baby and the silent
and rather less well known

Cammon Behr. Her savage depredations continued for some years until

eventually, his patience exhausted, Cammon cried, “A little Behr will

fix her!” and he then cut out her heart and threw it down a well –
this being the appropriate course of action in those days when there
were so many wells about. A typical example of Girldie Larks' vicious
cruelty is immortalized in the following old Strine folk song:
“Girldie Larks, Girldie Larks, where have you been? I beat up London
and vented my spleen, And then I cummome menai harrased the Behrs; I
yay tarp their porridge and bro karp their chairs. I savaged the beds
and I tordan the fences. And frightened a little mouse out of its
senses.” (Afferbeck Lauder. Let Stalk Strine. -

because it acts as a specter of or a mask for the adult form.) The word
"larva" referring to the newly hatched form of insects before they
undergo metamorphosis comes from the Latin word "larva", meaning
"evil spirit, demon, devil." To understand why this should be so,
first we need to know that the Latin word also was used for a
terrifying mask, and in Medieval Latin it could mean "mask or
visor." "Larva" is therefore an appropriate term for that stage
of an insect's life during which its final form is still hidden or
masked, and New Latin "larva" was thus applied in 1691 by Carolus
Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist who originated our system of classifying
plants and animals. The word "larva" is first recorded in English
in its scientific sense in 1768, although it had been used in its
"spirit" sense in 1651 in a way that foreshadowed the usage by
Linnaeus. (Atomica. - http://www.atomica.com/)]

exploits. The following is perhaps the best known: "Lilma Smarfit sat
on a tarfit, Digesting a bushel of hay. She cried, `I'm a bird Who's
addicted to curd, And I'm to be Queen of the Whey'." In spite of
her fierce devotion to cellulose and dairy produce, Lilma Smarfit is
known to have been an associate and consort of such gourmets and
voluptuaries as little Jack "Thumbs" Horner and George E. Porchy.

because it acts as a specter of or a mask for the adult form.) The word
"larva" referring to the newly hatched form of insects before they
undergo metamorphosis comes from the Latin word "larva", meaning
"evil spirit, demon, devil." To understand why this should be so,
first we need to know that the Latin word also was used for a
terrifying mask, and in Medieval Latin it could mean "mask or
visor." "Larva" is therefore an appropriate term for that stage
of an insect's life during which its final form is still hidden or
masked, and New Latin "larva" was thus applied in 1691 by Carolus
Linnaeus, the Swedish botanist who originated our system of classifying
plants and animals. The word "larva" is first recorded in English
in its scientific sense in 1768, although it had been used in its
"spirit" sense in 1651 in a way that foreshadowed the usage by
Linnaeus. (Atomica. - http://www.atomica.com/)]

Didn't go through the whole list their Wally, but you missed out on one of them:

"(s)Lag" is short for 'a slag' or 'slagger'. - the (s) has become silent over the many years.

- Slag is what is left over when you 'smelting' metal (in other words a "throw away waste").

Just Thought You Might Like To Know.

Don't know about those particular definitions of the word, but in
Aussie lingo
to "Lag" means to dob someone in - ie, lag on someone & to "slag"
chiefly means to hock up phlegm
(saliva) & spit -- hence the term "hocking a slag" -- the noise one
makes (usually considered vulgar or impolite)
when building up phlegm & saliva in the mouth prior to spitting it
out......

A slag is also a derogatory term for a slovenly or promiscuous girl or
woman
(not entirely dissimilar to the derogatory term "slut" )

Slag - 1. gob of phlegm; 2. (derogatory and offensive) girl or woman

Replayed an "Excellent" Aussie movie tonight - "The Coca Cola Kid". (just trying to get into
the Christmas Spirit.)

Fully 'Enriched' with Aussie Slangs and Australian Culture from the 80s. (just gotta love the
reference to "A Barb Wire Canoe") - took me a little time to figure that one out.

This is a 'Christmas Classic' here in Northern America (and most people don't even realize its
a 'complete' Aussie production). - and NO, it was not 'sponsored' by Coca Cola [Coca Cola Inc.
even denied any connection to the movie at all].

Way to go Australia for producing a Classic !!!

[The Other Guy]

Replayed an "Excellent" Aussie movie tonight - "The Coca Cola Kid". (just trying to get into
the Christmas Spirit.)

[previously posted]

Fully 'Enriched' with Aussie Slangs and Australian Culture from the 80s. (just gotta love the
reference to "A Barb Wire Canoe") - took me a little time to figure that one out.

This is a 'Christmas Classic' here in Northern America (and most people don't even realize its
a 'complete' Aussie production). - and NO, it was not 'sponsored' by Coca Cola [Coca Cola Inc.
even denied any connection to the movie at all].

Way to go Australia for producing a Classic !!!

Haven't seen it -- but of-course know of the movie -- it goes back
quite a few years now......

Probably won't see it because it's only available on cable & I only
have Free to air TV....

The movie was made way back in 1985, but the Internet Movie Data Base
only gives it a rating of 6/10......

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088931/

If I see it on DVD at my local library I'll have a little Captain Cook
at it -- but otherwise think I'll pass on it !!

[The Other Guy]

Thanks for the "Web-Link" Wally (didn't even know it existed).

I 'taped it' (after watching it for two or more previous years) about three years ago.

It has become one of my 'Classic Christmas' shows (and I know I can see it atleast twice
amongst the many cable channels that we receive) here in South Central Canada during the
Holiday Season.

I highly recommend you 'venturing' out to your local "Vid' Store and picking up a copy of this
movie. - It TRULY is a must see. (There is even a 'Cameo' appearance by a now 'eclipsed', but
then an 'International' Aussie Band - big during the early 80s) - that is a must see in
itself.

This movie is a Classic (and probably more relatable to the Australian audience, because of
the fact that this movie is 80% accurate to a real event.)

You Need To See It, To Relate.

Red Ridinghood - attractive auburn-haired young woman who lived in a
bark hut on the goldfields during the 1850s. At the time of the
following incident she was unmarried but had a middle-aged friend who
used to visit her regularly because his plain, elderly wife didn't
understand him. This friend was a bit of an old wolf. He wore
well-polished handmade shoes and had long teeth and pointed ears, but
he was kind to Red and used to give her presents, and always paid the
rent of the hut, to which he had his own key. Red used to call him
Wolfie and Daddy, and tried not to yawn when he talked about himself
and about what he had said to the Minister. One day Red came home from
a visit to her furrier and found her friend sitting up in bed with a
shawl covering his head and face, leaving only his teeth and chins
visible. Surprised, because she couldn't remember having seen the
shawl before, Red said, "What's the matter, Big Daddy? You got near
acre somethink?" - "I think I musta picked up a virus, dear," -
came the muffled slightly falsetto reply. - "Also, me teeth are
falling out, one after another - oops, there goes another one!" - and
a large, gamboge canine tooth fell onto the bed, where it lodged
upright, quivering like a dagger. Alarmed, but not yet suspicious, Red
cried out, "Gee, Wolfie, yorter tiger nipey sea or somethink." But
the figure on the bed beckoned to her, "No, thanks, dear, jusker
meeren help me back with this tooth." Red, suspicious, drew back in
alarm. She was almost sure now that this creature was an intruder and,
worse still, probably female. There was a tense silence for a few
moments. Then Red moved quickly. Knowing that her life probably
depended on speed; knowing that, momentarily, she held the advantage;
certain at last that this was an imposter and knowing that there could
be no substitute for wolf, she sprang at the menacing old doll on the
bed and gave her a brisk clip over the left ear with an empty sherry
bottle. It was all over in seconds. The last of the teeth fell away,
taking the shwal with them, and revealing the pitiful, cowering figure
of her friend's plain, elderly wife. "Don't hit me again, dear,"
- she whined, - "I didn't mean any harm. I was on me way to the
dentist - I've had a lot of trouble with me teeth at that lately. You
know how it is out here - nothing but damper and salt beef and that -
no vedgies or anything. Anyway, zize saying, I was on me way to the
dentist when I has one of me turns like, and I
though I'd come in and have a bit of a laidan till it passed. I didn't
think you'd mind. I must have dropped off. Ooh, you must think I'm
awful." She paused, smiled wanely at Red, and picked a piece of glass
out of her ear. "We haven't seen you for such a long time, dear,"
- she went on. - "Whine cher comoveren have tea with us one day
soon. I was zony sane to Norm lar snite, you know, Norm, we oughter
ask Red to comoveren have tea with us. The poor kid must be lonely all
by herself in that hut and all." Red breathed more easily as her
fears ebbed away. The old girl hadn't found out, then, about her
friendship with Norm. She picked her way through the broken glass and
teeth and helped her victim to her feet. "Gee, Elsie, I'd no idea it
was you. I'm real sorry. Lep me getcher a cuppa tea." She fussed
over her, covered her ear with band-aids and took her round to the
dentist. Norm never came to see Red again, and after a few weeks she
got a letter from the agent about the rent. But then Norm had always
been frightened that people would find out - that there might be a
scandal and he wouldn't be re-elected. Norm had always been so kind,
though Red was lonely for a while, but not for long - there were plenty
of other wolves about on the goldfields in those days. (Afferbeck

Rigid VI / Rigid the Sixth - Early Strine king; sometimes called Quick
Brown Fox, or Tete d'Oeuf, or Rigid Egg-head. Rigid the Sixth was a
devoted husband and father, and was also very fond of animals, in
marked contrast to his predecessors who had spent most of their spare
time shooting arrows into the wild boars who roamed the palace
corridors. Rigid was also something of an eccentric; he invariably
spoke English to his subjects but tolerantly allowed them to reply in
their native Strine tongue. This democratic monarch's sense of justice
was so fastidious that he treated even the royal alphabet with
scrupulous fairness, and whenever he spoke he always allowed each
letter to make at least on brief appearance. [The following scene from
Act II of "Rigid VI" reveals the confusion which occasionaly resulted
from this curious habit. (SCENE: The palace moat, dry now because of
the continual drought. Enter, Rigid and John, carrying bags of
superphosphate. From Rigid's golden crown hangs a row of little corks
on strings. His companion brushes away the flies with a small branch
of mulga. Both look hot and uncomfortable in their purple velvet
robes.) "R. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. - J. What
dog, your mare-chesty? Snow dog ear mite. - R. Rigid the Sixth briefly
views Jack's pink zombi quins. - J. Wasser matter with you, King? That

zebra vows to quit thinking coldly of sex. - J. Jeez, so now we got
zebras too. No wonder they're gonna hafter invent zoos. Look out,
King, jump! Its that dog again. - R. Two fixed androgynes doze quickly
on film job. I have spoken." (Exeunt, humming Waltzing Matilda and
cracking gold-handled stockwhips.) (Afferbeck Lauder. Let Stalk Strine.

Rye-Wye - dialect spoken by the Trine tribe. [Strine, like any other
living language, is constantly changing as new words and phrases are
evolved or introduced and as old ones fall into disuse. All languages,
and Strine is no exception, also carry with them many local dialects
and sub-languages. These are usually more conservative than the mother
tongue. Like the side eddies in a river they remain static and
self-contained - almost unaffected by the main stream of the
language, and thus they become increasingly cryptic and obscure. Such a
dialect is Rye-Wye, which is spoken only by the Trine tribes over the
public address systems of metropolitan railway stations.
All attempts to decipher this esoteric dialect have been so far
unsuccessful, and it is now believed that it is not understood by even
the Trine tribes who speak it.] Rye-Wye is, in short, a ritualistic
chant, the purpose of which is not to inform but to frighten away any
passengers or other hostile spirits who may be lurking in the
underground. For this reason it is not only terrifyingly loud but also
breathtakingly dissonant. The following are typical examples: a)
"Awe lathers trine nair stannenat num-rye teen plafform pliz. Istrine
term night sear. Awe lattpliz"; b) "Nuffor plafform nawshawtrine
stomming milce point naw sinny chasswood norl staish toresby"; c)

Snow White (and the severed wharves) / Snow White ('n' the severed
wharves) - Snow White was a beautiful young Strine secret service
agent. In private life she was a doctor of philospophy and a
connoisseur of immersion heating. As a counter spy (officially known
as 004), she was noted for her dexterity with the hypodermic syringe
and for her unswerving promiscuity in the service of her country. Her
most remarkable attributes, however, were her extraordinary powerful
lungs, which she used to great advantage whenever mouth-to-mouth
anti-reuscitation was the only way to escape from the embraces of a no
longer useful admirer. This high-pressure method was rather frowned on
by her more conservative colleagues but it was undeniably effective;
her victim just dilated like a sunfish and became entangled in the
chandeliers, or drifted over the horizon in whatever direction the wind
happened to be blowing. [It was a dull, grey autumn afternoon when Snow
White left the Colonel's office. She stepped into her roller skates,
and picked her way carefully through the traffic to the middle of the
road. Skating along the centre line of a main highway usually calmed
her turbulentspirit and gave her a sense of purpose and fulfilment.
But today, somehow, she felt troubled and uneasy. The Colonel's warning
was still ringing in her ears. "No more lust, Buster, I trust you.
It's a must," he had said, putting down the rhyming dictionary and
lighting her cigar. "Carry two Mausers in your trousers, and pack a
new Luger with the nougat." Snow White knew what lay behind that
friendly half-smile which contrasted so oddly with his grey,
intelligent eyes, obscured now by the large empty prune can with which
he always concealed his face from his subordinates. Poor James, she
thought, how sensitive he still is about having no nose. His voice
droned on, "... and your teeth will be sharpened before you leave.
That is all." He paused and spoke a few words into the intercom. He
had briefed her well, she thought to herself as she overtook a large
black sedan filled with Asians carrying cameras. Her mission was
simple, but dangerous. She was to make her way undetected into
"their" territory, destroy the fleet of mini-submarines, and cut
loose the floating wharves at Vitamin Bay. That was all. Simple enough,
heaven knows - yet her uneasiness persisted. Suddenly she threw away
her cigar, put out her right arm and pulled sharply into the kerb at
the left. She made her way thoughtfully towards a small, unobtrusive
building which bore a large sign: "Day Old Pullets - Hot Water - Ears
bashed Wile-U-Wate - Cocker Puppies - Clean Toilets - Devonshire
Teas". She rapped on the boarded-up window with a roller skate.
"Are you there, James?" she called softly. There was no answer.
She went round to the locked door, put her lips to the keyhole and blew
out the lock. She stepped quietly inside. The Colonel was already
there. She took him in her strong arms and kissed him fiercely on the
prune can immediately above the words, "Contains no preservatives".
He snuggled close to her and gurgled tinnily. She took his hand and
together they walked along the narrow catwalk towards the submarines.
Snow White patted the Luger inside her armpit, and sniffed cautiously
at the outgoing tide. There wouldn't be much time, she thought. She
bent down and bit throught the first cable with her powerful teeth and
watched the grey hull sink slowly out of sight into the mud. She looked
around her. It was almost dark now, and the Colonel appeared to be
asleep. She smiled grimly as she scrabbled among the barnacles,
searching for the second cable. Suddenly, without warning, a blinding
light flashed into her eyes, and a suave, unctuous voice broke the
silence: "Weaner rup this sprogram to bring you an important
annancement from the Sinny Cricket Grand. New South Wiles are arlat for
three unren twen yite." The menacing voice chilled her, and her hand
gripped the Luger. "The forecast for tomorrow is for scadded shares
and Sathie's twins. An now we return you to this chewdio." There was
a click, then silence. Once more she was in darkness. She was alone
now; the Colonel had disappeared. At last she found the second cable
and sank her teeth into the steel. The oily water closed over the last
of the wharves. Her mission was completed. Through a little window in
the wrist of her black rubber frogwoman's suit she saw that it was only
two hours since she had left the Colonel's office. She felt her way
through the dark hut to the doorway, and out into the chill, mountain
air. She carefully adjusted her skates, pulled out from the kerb and
made for the centre-line of the road. She smiled gently in the
darkness, and switched on her tail-light. It was, she thought as she
spat out a few shreds of cable, good - she paused and lit a cigar -
to be - as James would say - alive. (Afferbeck Lauder. Let Stalk
