Australia 101; Lesson 01

Welcome to Lesson 1 of Australia 101, my 'lessons' for you all on Australian Culture and some extra shit thrown in. Americans attempt our accents and it turns into a British {AS: Pom} accent. I'll teach you Australian slang, if you see this : {AS: blah}, that's the Australian slang.

But oh well, let's skip the drongo crap and get down to business.

A drongo, well, that's your basic redneck or idiot. You'll find them at the local pub {bar} drinking Toohey's or XXXX.
Australia is the Land Down Under, not many Australians call it that though. If someone says that you have gone 'beyond the black stump', it either means you're officially fucked; or you are lost, either way, you're fucked.
A cuppa is a cup of tea, you'll often hear it because we love our tea and coffee. A bikkie or biccie is a biscuit, like a Tim Tam.
Vegemite, now if you don't like salty foods, don't eat it because it's salty. Vegemite is a yeast extract, don't ask what it means because even I have no idea.

Hugh Jackman, Hugh is an Australian actor and has starred in quite a few musicals.
Here's a video of him for you ladies out there that like a shirtless male, CLICK HERE LADIES

Hugh is a legend in the AFI, but not as big as Michael Caton. The Australian Male's way of life is simple.

Eat, Drink, Watch the NRL, Sleep, Sex and Piss and Wake Up.

The basic Australian male does all seven of those things. The Australian Female's way of life is far too long to list, but here are a few things that women {AS: Shiela's} like to do.

Eat, Drink, Party, Sleep, Sex, Clean, Cook and Complain.

Complaining is something we do best, I'm not bagging out Australian women because I'm one of them. But complaining gets us nothing {AS: Fuck All}, as well as sex. So far, there are three women with power in Australia. I'm talking about Australian women, not the Queen of England.

Lesson 1 has come to a close, but I'll leave you with a reminder. A lot of shit you read on the internet may be utter crap, but if it comes from someone who lives in Australia {AS: Aussie, True Blue}, it's more than likely true. This is Lesson 1 of Australia 101.

Next lesson, I'll post about the movie Australia as well as a few capital cities in Australia.
