My many thanks to an oustanding web page that is more than willing to listen to or at very least be patient with an outsider (Yeh I saw you roll your eyes). I may not know what a "Hoon" is (In Canada we hunt those for Thanksgivng and serve them with toast) But we do have basements that keep your beers cool
(LOL).
Hope everyones next batch is their best, It really has been my pleasure folks. Just be patient with my lingo.
Dogger
Many Thanks

I wouldnt think of yourself an outsider. I'm from Niagara Falls (US Side) but I happen to be living in Brisbane. SO there's at least another outsider here. Maybe I find some use by being the translator for people. i.e. "Take off you hoser" = "Piss off wanker"
although I was surprised when I got to Australia, the slang isn't nearly as bad as people make you think it's going to be. I had visions of not being to understand a word anyone said. There's some staple phrases that you hear a lot, but the whole rhyming slang is rather uncommon.
On a side note, Dogger, do you remember those Molson ads with Bob & Doug Mackenzie from about 10 years ago? Possibly my favorite beer ads of all time.

Remember, as I mentioned in another post, anything less than full is empty.
