I may be going to Australia soon, do you think I can box a kangeroo? lol
No matter the outcome, I am gonna make that kangeroo into jerky,lol(literally). ;D
But don't you think that sterotypes go a little too far nowadays? It has pretty much become an every day thing, even if we are offending the hell out of someone!

What's a"seppo?" What's a "whinging pom?" What's a "redback?" And lastly, what's a "dunny seat?" I am confused... Here go's : A 'seppo' is cockney ryhming-slang for septic tank, inturn Yank(a WWII phrase for USGI's). This is funny to everyone but Americans(sorry guys because it not only ryhmes with Yank but also inters that as a septic tank is full of the brown stuff, so is what many Australians believe that many US idealists are also full of. Shanti, shanti people Whinging because they do , and POM for Prisoner Of her Majesty. A 'whinging pom' is another colloquial phrase for some English in Australia. This came from the need to fill Australia with people after WWII. They offered in the UK for people to migrate to Aus., everthing for 10 pounds, family and all. Many Uk citizens took up this offer, the catch being they had to stay for two years to receive their airfare home to UK if they wanted it. Some just moved away from their camp style accomodation offered on arrival in Aus. and got on with life, but others(no offence) as some English do complained about the heat, that the fashions were all backwards, and that people weren't friendly and sat in their camps for two years. Until finally they got their airfares home and went back to old blightey. After seeing the freedom of Australia and going back to Engalnd, 80 per cent of the people that returned back to England, wanted then to return to Australia. These were called the 'boomerang POM's'. A 'Redback' is a spider the size of a US dime, even smaller. It is black with a small red stripe down its back but its bite can kill an average person. People have been known to live through the venom, but most would die. Years ago before sewerage mains connections people had toilets in a little hut out the back of their houses( funny enough on a septic tank) and Redback's were infamous for nesting under the toilet seats, hence biting the user and a then followed, quick trip to the hostpital. A 'dunny seat' is the toilet seat mentioned above . Now look, before I start recieving the hate PM's I am sorry but I was just explaining mike's questions, PM me if you feel insulted by my explanations and I will Karma you for any trouble caused.
