[闲谈] Australia Day -- so you know something about Aussies

Australia Day celebrations
Australia Day is the official National Day of Australia. The 26th of January is celebrated annually to commemorate the arrival of the first fleet at Sydney Cove in 1788.
Australians now use it as a day to put the feet up, watch some tennis or cricket, relax by the pool (or beach) and sizzle in the heat.

You know you're Australian when…

1. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, metho, milko, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto etc.

2. You know that there is a universal place called “woop woop” located in the middle of nowhere… no matter where you actually are.

3. You know that while we call our friends ‘mates’, we don’t use terms like ‘sheila’ and ‘shrimp on the barbie’, contrary to popular belief.

4. You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like crap. But we let the world think we do. Because we can.

5. You have at some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume.

6. You have the ability to compress several words into one – ie ‘g’day’ and ‘d’reckn?’. This allows more space for profanities.

7. You’ve used the words – tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet – instead of saying ‘good’. And then you place ‘bloody’ in front of it when you REALLY mean it.

8. You know the first verse to the national anthem, but still don’t know what “girt” means. And you’re ok with that.

9. You know that backyard cricket is a nice way to bond with family and the rubbish bin. And the ‘one hand, one bounce’ rule always applies.

10.You know Australia IS the best bloody place on earth. Bar none
