I want to see how many you get correct.

I am... not Australian, apparently.

Crimson Ghost · 09-09-2007, 11:41 PM

Neither am I...

xoxoxoBruce · 09-10-2007, 03:59 AM

DucksNuts · 09-10-2007, 05:21 AM

After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo."

Last Christmas afternoon, my relatives arrived for a bbq, some liquid refreshment and some sausages. After such a huge feed, I needed some aspirin and a rest. We then opened up all the gifts, consumed all the chocolates, sweet cookies and candy. Then we consumed some cans of beer and Mom got quite angry after Father and Steve had an argument and a bit of a physical fight.

Oddly enough, Bex is an old time medication which was rumoured to be straight Coke.

Macca, Chooka and Wanger are *common* bogan nick names. Surfers, is Surfers Paradise which is the party capital of Australia...surf, sand and lots of nite clubs etc. Torana is an old GM Holden car. Jim *Barnsey* Barnes, screaming (literally) rock star of Cold Chisel (70's & 80's), who then turned to solo career and finally when the screaming gave out, turned to soul. Still pretty bloody good.

John *Farnsey* Farnes, first hit it with "sady, the cleaning lady", a very good recognised singer with everyones parents, the comeback king. Everytime he gets short on money he has a *one more time* tour.

Acca Dacca - AC/DC. Slabs = 24 cans of beer. Brown eye = its the same world wide and slash = taking a pee.

2. Complete the following sentences: a) "If the van's rockin' don't bother ... knockin' (meaning someone is getting lucky)

b) You're going home in the back of a ....divvy van (sung drunkenly, divvy van being a police wagon)

3. I've had a gutful and I can't be fagged. Discuss. I've had enough and I cant be bothered.

4. Have you ever been on the giving or receiving end of a wedgie? Universal

5. Do you have a friend or relative who has a car in their front yard "up on blocks"? Is his name Keith and does he have a wife called Cheryl?..typical bogan behavior

FOOD
1. Does your family regularly eat a dish involving mincemeat, cabbage, curry powder and a packet of chicken noodle soup called either chow mein, chop suey or kai see ming?

This one kinda speaks for itself

2. What are the ingredients in a rissole? Mince Meat, breadcrumbs, egg and sauce...plus anything else you would like to put in there and turn into a patty.

3. Demonstrate the correct procedure for eating a Tim Tam.

Hot cup of coffee, dip one end of the tim tam into the coffee and suck the other end like you would a straw. Its Oh.my.god good!!!

4. Do you have an Aunty Myrna who is famous for her tuna mornay and other dishes involving a can of cream of celery soup?

I am pretty sure everyone knows these items?

2. Is it possible to "prang a car" while doing "circle work"?

Yes it is possible to crash a car whilst performing donuts in it.

3. Who would you like to crack on to?

Crack on to = put the moves on.

4. Who is the most Australian: Kevin "Bloody" Wilson, John "True Blue" Williamson, Kylie Minogue or Warnie?

Kevin Bloody Wilson or Warnie would be the modern day true blue Aussie.

Well known song about sharing a beer with mates.

Quote:

You're going home in the back of a ....divvy van

Our version of that is:

"You're goin' home in a fuckin ambulance!" usually chanted quite loudly at football matches and directed at the opposing fans.

Yeah, that was my answer. Got the rest pretty much spot on, though -must be all that exposure to Home and Away when we snuck home for lunch.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-10-2007, 02:40 PM

What's Esky and Ugg boots?

DanaC · 09-10-2007, 02:54 PM

Eskimo and Ugg boots? Y'know Ugg boots, the big soft furry boots, often bright white.

monster · 09-10-2007, 04:35 PM

Purple Ugg boot were the thing here. IMO, they're well-named.

DucksNuts · 09-10-2007, 06:08 PM

Esky is a portable cooler. Link to Nylex

Ugg Boots are leather outer, sheepskin inner *slippers*. They used to be the epitome of boganesque attire, but were made hugely popular about 5 years ago...and are still going strong. Blerg.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-10-2007, 07:54 PM

The Wiki page on UGG Boots, is pretty interesting. A tale of copyrights, cybersquatting and international intrigue.

Sundae · 09-11-2007, 12:03 PM

Apparently I am Australian.
Although like Dana & monster I got the divvy van question wrong.

I didn't realise Aussies put beetroot in burgers too - I thought that was just the Kiwis. It makes you all morally suspect I'm afraid.

Flint · 09-11-2007, 01:08 PM

I thought they just played knifey-spoony.
