Are there any "Australianisms" in lyrics that we can explain to you non-Australians?

You can beat a lot of things but you can't beat a root.

 

You can Beat an Egg, But You can't Beat a Root.

 

You Betcha Cobber.

 

Do your turntables spin counterclockwise?

 

Yes. It is why we have never been indoctrinated by any hidden backwards-masking on heavy metal records. We hear it for what it is.

 

Geez mate its not that flamin hard to see why. It's the greatest place on earth. Just like California except no smog, no earthquakes, less people, better beer, better lookin shielas & the best footy team in the world playing a real mans sport. Carn the Eagles

 

Mate yer lost it's Mt Hawthorn.
Mt Hawthorne sounds like some poofy town in France

 

Ya know why they're Prawns & not Shrimps don't you.
Because they're not bloody small mate. Thats why.

 

My sister in law worked for 23 years as the house keeper/cook/confident for the lovely people that owned Mrs Mac's Pies.
Unfortunately the husand Ian died suddenly as couple of years ago & the wife Penny has been confined to a care facility due to Alzheimers/Dementia

 

Mate I consider my country to be millions of years old & inhabited for at least the last 60,000 years.

 

That's sad to hear mate. I worked there for ten years. Mr mac was a really good guy

 

Joh hadn't thought that feeding the chooks meant what you are thinking.
But then again maybe he did.

 

Joh bjelke peterson ? Lol he was a prime chook feeder

 

Yes very sad when Iain died suddenly & shortly after Penny started to show symptoms of Dimentia. Penny & my sister in law were very close.

 

Yeah. It was Joh who made the phrase popular. It is what he called press conferences. Especially when conducted in open air.

 

Yep & buggered if I know why.

 

Marmite is for Shielas but not Aussie Shielas

 

We white fellas need to start to show the black fellas the respect they deserve for looking after our country for the 60 odd thousand years before the white fellas came along.

 

Especially when you compare how they looked after the country for thousands of years compared to how we have looked after it for the last few hundred years.

 

Never.

But unless you're a whinging pain in the **** you are accepted as one of us straight away.

 

In Perth (especially along the coastal strip) we have sand. This is different from most of the other parts of the country which have the famous red dirt.

 

LOL, I stand corrected.

I'm surrounded by all the red dirt every single day!

 

World Wide Words: Chook
