This is a question thread, the statement thread hasn't yet been started.

[SoftLion]

What the hell is it with you Aussies and these "Pisco Sour" drinks? This Australian girl I am dating thinks they are to die for. I ordered the booze online, took 2 weeks to get here, now I find out I have to beat egg whites and other complicated **** to make one proper? WTF kind of high maintenance cocktail is that?

Piss water occording to the Steve irwin-type outbackers on the Dom Joly program about beer. They also thought people in Sydney were all poofs. Is this true Australia?

[Euroamerican]

I'll jump in here. THAT ain't Australian. It's Peruvian. I know because I saw a bottle of it in an Salt Lake City liquor store and I read the back fo the bottle. Sounds like too much work. Tell her to find a new favorite drink.

...um... Then again, I'm single, so I don't have girlfriend to make drinks for. Something on the rocks, though, with splash of something else or maybe a fruit garnish. That should be good enough.

I know the liquor is Peruvian (I did order a bottle of the ****). However, this particular female seems to insist that a pisco sour is all the rage, was her favorite drink. Maybe just in Perth....who knows. I know how to make 'em, just a major pain in the ass. I suppose she's worth it.

Just a rung down from Swan though mate

[digrar]

Swan Draught certainly isn't the worst beer you'll ever bowl over. If you haven't appreciated a cold Swannie after a day of hard graft, there is every chance you're a bludger and maybe even one of those homos from Sydney mentioned earlier, some would go as far as to say anyone residing South of the Tweed or North of the Murray is to be considered suspect...

haha too true mate, I worked on Christmas Island for 6 months back in 98 and the Swannies went down a bloody treat, especially since there was no sales tax on ciggies and booze, as you can imagine it did feck all for my liver and lungs, but the fishing was fantastic.

I have started this thread to assist non Australias with answering their questions about Australia.

For example, we have animals such as Quolls, trees such as Banksias, and beer such as XXXX, and Crownies. Further, words such as bogan, bevan, yobo and grouse.

Feel free to ask away.

Is it true that young Austrailians are called Vegemites? I overheard a young Australian fellow one day singing about the good old days when he was one of the "happy little Vegemites". Are grown up Australians also Vegemites or is it just the little ones.

It was from the jingle for vegimite and it kind of stuck as a reference to children:

We're happy little Vegemites As bright as bright can be. We all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch, and tea. Our mummies say we're growing stronger Every single week, Because we love our Vegemite We all adore our Vegemite It puts a rose in every cheek.

Having a good time... or dying in the attempt.

Around Christmas time it's tradition for Queenslanders to come down to New South Wales and get themselves killed on our roads thus in the process keeping NSW's tradition of having the highest road death tolls.

[BMUS]

Who's your greatest hockey player?

[digrar]

Probably Rick Charlesworth, he played 227 games for the Kookaburras, picked for 5 Olympic teams and Captained his country. He coached the Hockeyroos (4 time champions trophy, world Champions, 2 time Olympic gold medalists and Commonwealth gold medalists) and is the current coach of the Kookaburras.
He was also an opening batsman for Western Australia, playing 47 first class cricket matches for an average of 30 and has been a high performance manager for the Fremantle Dockers (probably the worst football team of all time) and the New Zealand Cricket Team (a bunch of Nevile nobodies who are still sooking about a bit of perfectly legal underarm bowling back in the 80's).
Towards the end of his playing career he was also a member of Parliament for a decade prior to the start of his coaching career.

[BMUS]

Well played sir.

[digrar]

He's also a doctor by trade, a very impressive man.

[Toddy1]

He's also a doctor by trade, a very impressive man.

and when in the pub probably only talks about his cricketing career and practice and probably mentions nothing to do with field hockey hahaha

[Toddy1]

p.s if you are reading this Rick please don't kick my ass again :P

[digrar]

He's hockey mad, Inside Sport just did a piece on him, hockey>cricket for Mrs Charlesworth's little boy.

[TheKiwi]

... and the New Zealand Cricket Team (a bunch of Nevile nobodies who are still sooking about a bit of perfectly legal underarm bowling back in the 80's).

So was bodyline against Bradman...

[digrar]

Now you're mixing up a one off brain fart with sustained bastardy. :|

[TheKiwi]

None the less, both were within the rules, but against the spirit of the game.

[digrar]

Get ready for young Tait in the 20Twenty, he's been hitting 160kmh in the last couple of games (complete with over arm action). ;)

[TheKiwi]

Ah, we're already packing ourselves. I can see this series being a total whitewash, everyone's minds seem to be focused on the IPL.

[Opening Batsman]

20Twenty sucks balls and isn't real cricket.

[TheKiwi]

That is true. Real cricket lasts for 5 days, and at the end of 5 days, it's a draw.

[Warrigal]

Why is corona so expensive in Australia?

Do you know how many Mexicans died rowing it over here ?

[wagon]

'Corona' is not that good. It should be priced high so locals discover the many very tasty Australian-brewed beers.

[Warrigal]

I've tasted worse... I think it was called water.

[pocoloco]

Are there anymore, or rather, has there ever been such people in Australia like the McGregors of the "Snowy River: The McGrecor Saga"? p-)

Nah mate, we've moved on a bit.

I'm sure there were some people like that once, but wore less clean clothes.

Never made or been asked for a Pisco sour, we do have a bottle however. *Ahem*

We did a blind smell test with it against a bottle of methylated spirit, outcomes were inconclusive.

[pocoloco]

Did all that last weekend, except the jumping into icy water ;) Should have drinked Tar shots instead I guess... like old Finnish saying goes: If there's no help from tar, booze and sauna, then the sickness will kill. Oh, those old wise Finns.

[DivingEngineer]

What is a muzza? some guy is going around a website saying he is a muzza but even people from Australia are asking what the hell it is

Definition Of A Muzza . Source:Urban Dictionary

A muzza is a young male, usually of European or Middle Eastern decent (even though they've never been there), that are born and raised Melbournians.

Baseball caps are constantly worn alongside hair product, but to make sure they dont wreck their hair the caps sit on top of their hair (and away from the fringe). Bum-bags are a must to hold all your mobile phones, and also some change to spend at maccas.They all wear trakke daks, Kappa pants or addidas three stripes & the pouch part to the bum-bags are always worn frontwards infront of their junk.

They walk like they're trying to immitate a scarecrow, or like they're holding a bucket of water in each hand (with a subtle swaying motion) This is often a result of going to the gym once or twice and thinking your lats are so huge you cant put your arms straight down your side.

Common hangouts are Bell St maccas,St. Kilda Beach, Highpoint, Watergardens or any other Hungry Jacks 24hour store carpark and most commonly Chapel Street South yarra...When communicating, a muzza owns 4-5 different sim cards to take advantage of the cheap call rates deals offered by Telstra, Optus, Vodafone and Planet 3

Language: Almost every sentence a Muzza says will include several of the following words;True, Uleh, Re, Bro, Cuz, Lan, Scarn-On, Fully Sick, Thats Hectik...

Muzzas are often highschool dropouts currently doing apprentiships, with every cent they earn going towards their cars (mostly on tires and petrol), and they end up wondering why all their bros who went to uni end up driving mercs and picking up chicks while they stick to their teeny bopper

You arent in the Army are you?? Its like a staple choice of beverage at the local, fastest selling alcohol there.
Its a bloody meal in a can.
beats the hell out of the girly drinks they serve in Sydney.

[digrar]

Yeah I know a boat load of bundy drinkers, AJs and Queenslanders mostly, but they're still not drinking as much as beer drinkers.

[Navel Lint]

Serious question. How common is kangaroo meat? Is it easy to get? I had some last week and it was pretty damn tastey.

[BLUE THOR]

I agree that VB is more widely drunk than Bundy, like you say, its has a reasonably limited following.
But I wouldnt say no one drinks Bundy - or it is a pop culture myth, Fosters I agree with, no-one here drinks it because it just doesnt taste good.
I have rarely ever seen Fosters stocked in bars at all.

On the second point, i am one of those. Drank it a few times never again.

Bundy consumption is far greater than Fosters. However, its consumption is surprisingly widespread. Particularly in rural Queensland.

[BLUE THOR]

Hot: Barbequed meat (Kangaroo- my favourite), prawns, vegimite on toast, meat pies.
Cold: Previously Barbequed meat, prawns, vegimite and cheese sandwich, lamingtons.

you can buy it in supermarkets in Australia - Coles carries it at times.
the commercially available stuff is produced in outback NSW (it think) and utilises hunters who "harvest" from the multitudes in the outback.

What do you call it? Like, beef, pork, venison, etc. Or is it just "kangaroo meat"?

[T3ngu]

Kangaroo must be cooked rare only.

It tastes what i imagine arse tastes like.

Just Kangaroo meat, mate. In most cases, Aussies dont go for fancy names, just traditional aboriginal names that no-one but Aussies can ****ounce.

really? If you're in Sydney, PM me and I will have you proven wrong.
the missus does a bewdyful roo steak.

Why rare only?

Does it get tough?

Edit: Nevermind, I found out.

[Number34]

It tastes pretty good, bit like goat. But when it's cooking it smells like arse. But once cooked its pretty good. Nothing like a good beef steak though

[BLUE THOR]

the greatest selling point of Roo meat, besides its exotic status, is that it is low fat and protein rich.
Despite this, it is not widely eaten in Australia - It looked like the local supermarket only stocked it for me at one stage.

[T3ngu]

Ok, so I went to the store to get some Vegimite and they didn't have any. They did have Marmite, which I bought. Came home, made some toast, put some on it and ate. I knew it was salty but DAMN! Extremely strong flavor. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but I seriously doubt I would ever eat it on a regular basis. Definately an acquired taste.

[diw]

Ok, so I went to the store to get some Vegimite and they didn't have any.

A very strange shop.


They did have Marmite ...

Many strange shops do.
As long as you didn't buy it ...


... which I bought.

OIC.
As long as you didn't ingest it.


Came home, made some toast, put some on it and ate.

OIC. Err good for you. Cough.


I knew it was salty but DAMN! Extremely strong flavor. It wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but I seriously dought I would ever eat it on a regular basis. Definately an acquired taste.

See there's the thing. Marmite is not Vegemite. Remember what the shopkeeper told you?
"As strange as it is we are out of Vegemite ... Here's some Marmite rubbish instead."

Vegemite. Proudly made in Australia since 1923. Proudly.
There's a kangaroo on the label.
And as much as we hate it it's "SUITABLE FOR VEGETARIANS" (a direct quote).
BTW, the words "WOMEN OF CHILDBEARING AGE" also appear on the label.
Accept no substitutes.

Vegemite.
It's made out of vegemite. :-)
Throw it in the fridge and ten years down the track when you feel like some on toast, there it is.

Best wishes.

[digrar]

Marmite tastes like what I imagine crushed ants served up out of someones arse tastes like. Vegemite is vastly different experience.

[Navel Lint]

Haha, ok. Is there really any difference? Usually I see it passing through the store sometimes, but this particular one I went to didnt have it at the time.

Edit: Ok, I'll see if I can find some vegemite.

[ben_jovi]

marmite is a lot less viscous than vegemite .. the key to vegemite and to a lesser extent marmite is the perfect 'mite to butter ratio mmm ...

Hitler was cowering in a bunker in our assault path, but true to German form, the defences were efficient and we couldnt break the position.

My Mum family tree one of them was killed at Fromelles with a known grave as far i'm told and other was killed at Villers Bretonneux and third survive the war came home in 1919.(if I can find the photo I will scan it and post it on Australian at War on this forum)

basically we ride kangaroos to work, eat anything that doesn't eat us first, have a guy running our country who got caught eating his own ear-wax and all aspire to be Chopper Read. lol

The truth is we have awesome beaches, awesome cities, awesome rainforests, awesome deserts, some of the most dangerous creatures on earth, loads of good food, heaps of nice beer, hot girls, huge party/nightclub scenes, loads of good Aussie music, the guy running our country got caught at a strip joint and we also have one of the best Special Forces Units in the world, Australian S.A.S.
I Love Australia :D

Gday Guys

I have started this thread to assist non Australias with answering their questions about Australia.

For example, we have animals such as Quolls, trees such as Banksias, and beer such as XXXX, and Crownies. Further, words such as bogan, bevan, yobo and grouse.

Feel free to ask away.
Ok, I have a few questions.

-Is fosters beer crappy there too, or is it just the time it takes to get here that makes it skunky?
-Do you feel kinda goofy saying "happy new year" while wearing a pair or shorts?
-Who's more Auzzie, Paul Hogan or Steve Irwin?
-Being that you're down under, does the missionary position there mean that the lady friend is actually on top? And, while we're on that..
-Are there any hot aborigine chicks?

[diw]

-Is fosters beer crappy there too, or is it just the time it takes to get here that makes it skunky?

I don't recall ever in my life seeing an Australian drink Fosters. Ever.
Regardless to answer your question, even though Fosters is brewed locally (near you) switch brands.



-Do you feel kinda goofy saying "happy new year" while wearing a pair or shorts?

Nobody is goofy in orstralia except for the goofy footers.
Saying "Happy New Year" is goofy enough. Clothes don't make no nevermind ...
Personally I wear shorts probably 360 days a year (got ma shorts on now).


-Are there any hot aborigine chicks?

Of course. Australia is hot country.

What's this, nobody drinks fosters, even though all austrialians call beer fosters?
So what do you say at the bar, "Hey matey, gimme a fosters, but not, ya know, fosters"??

I remember distinctly some auzzie guy on tv saying that fosters is australian for beer. Are you saying he lied? I hate being fooled, dammit.


Anyways, next question. What did Steve Irwin do with the bums after he tagged them?

This is correct. Nobody drinks Fosters. We're not crazy, we're Australian.
When I was a lad we'd say: "VB thanks mate".
VB was the acronym for Victoria Bitter. Although made by the same company as Fosters and also swill VB was the accepted social norm for an Aussie male (****ounced OZZY for the septics).
Once the cognoscenti decided Fosters was acceptable no Australian would be seen dead with it.

Oh man so true.

My wife was down at centrelink for family benefit or something the other day and a guy who had recently been granted residency was all (in a loud voice) "i want my payment, i live here now, give me my money". And the lady was "no you have been here too short a time to get benefits", which, well, you know how that went.

For every 1 Kiwi lining up at the centrelink, there is probably 5 out here making 6 figures in the mines. They go ok, if only we could get them to speak the Queen's English.

Steve Irwin was more like a Seppo than an Aussie, we're generally way more laid back than he was.
I had to look up the term. The only place I found a definition was in the urban dictionary:

seppo


A derogatory term for Americans, originally a word play on "yank" rhyming with septic tank, shortened to "seppo". The term became popular among the British and the Australians around the time of WWII, when American soldiers were staged in both respective countries on the way to battle in Europe and Asia. At the time, the populations of both countries greatly resented that the Americans were able to seduce their woman with such ease. Not having much recourse, they lashed out the only way they could, creating silly derogatory terms.
"Oi, thayt bloody seppo had saix wit me wife aynd me two sistuhs!"

[BLUE THOR]

yep, with silk stockings and higher wages, now we rock up in Seppo land with speaking Ocker and behaving like louts and hook into your women... look how the tables have turned!

[BLUE THOR]

the best ones are located near the Victorian High Country (border between Victoria and New South Wales) Mount Hotham and Mt Buller are fairly popular.

[pocoloco]

And how popular is skiing there? Beats fighting crocos, at least in my perspective but is it sporty enough for the Aussies? And any ski jumping facilities over there?

[BLUE THOR]

yeah, it is popular. there are some winter sports facilities around, but our ski season would be lucky if it was 2 months long, and its a fairly small area that gets snow. There are some indoor artificial ski places, and they are a popular novelty in Summer.
Its Australia, anything resembling sport is popular. Even more so if you can place bets on it.
