spoken like a true Texan

agreed
and I would rather be sent to shop for shoes at a garden center that treat another with disrespect or be disloyal

i thought "kriky" was the term...

Crikey mate ya ave ta spell it right.

we can't speel in texas...

I always try to be respectful to even those I don't care for...

Always gotta try to be the bigger person

Josie...do you actually say 'crikey'...in your day to day world?


I don't...although that toyota ad said it all...'bugger!'




and the 'g'day mate'...what the hell is that?

I often say g'day...but rarely say mate in my day to day world...and if I do...it is not in a 'matey' way...it's usually the blue cattledog version of..... see this lip curled, mate?

JnJ (Jess and Josie) thanks for the lingo lesson. Nyikita you were two, fully blongo, if you harp my drivel.

Grotto, I say. Crikey-schlime, molto chipple-druve exacto. 'Day.

Australian is so easy if you know how to blend Italian seamlessly into Irish. Then just add a little jibberish to it, and you're there.

That said, I used to have a friend (he died) who was from the deepest, darkest, swampiest jungles of London, England. For the first ten years of our friendship it was impossible for us to understand each other.

He went to Israel, for a visit, his having been an English Jew. He roamed the streets in Jerusalem, and asked this guy, a stranger he passed on the street: "Excuse me, could you please tell me where I can mail these post cards?" The accosted man looked at my friend, and asked him, apparently out of trying to be helpful, "do you speak English?"

It is very easy to hurt me, because with all my gruff and scuff, with all my arrogance, I am very sensitive. Something not very much unlike a boxer who is a heavy puncher, but can't stand pain himself, and faints at the first sight of being insulted.

There is a reason why I am saying this. Recently I went to court, and the prosecutor asked the judge to postpone my hearing, and she (the judge) ordered that at the next hearing I will have a court interpreter between Hungarian and English.

i try to

Thats my basic working principal in fact & its nice feeling to see & post in this thread.Thanks OP

I hv some bad experiences too while obeying this principal,Few peoples takes that other way too.They take politeness,decency as is our underconfidence.
Respect offered makes them undestimate us.

But anyways I think in this highly competitive world everyone is upto making use of others for continuous asscent.
Faithfull implementation of ideal principals is / was never that easy.

This thread reminds me of a joke with all the lingo. So, when someone ticks me off I just say...


Well Isn't That Nice

Two delicate flowers of Southern womanhood, one from Georgia and the other from Alabama, were conversing on the porch swing of a large white-pillared mansion.

The Georgia peach said, "When my first child was born, my husband built this beautiful mansion for me." The lady from Alabama commented, "Well, isn't that nice??"

The first woman continued "When my second child was born, my husband bought me that fine Cadillac you see parked in the drive." Again, the belle from Alabama commented, "Well, isn't that nice??"

The first woman boasted, "Then, when my third child was born, my husband bought me this exquisite diamond bracelet." Again, the second lady commented, "Well, isn't that nice??"

The first woman then asked her companion, "What did your husband buy for you when you had your first child?"

"My husband sent me to charm school," declared the 'Bama belle.

"Charm school!" the first woman cried. "Land's sakes, child, what on Earth for?"

The Alabamian responded, "So that instead of saying, "Who gives a ****!?" I learned to say, 'Well, isn't that nice?"

Nah , I dont say crikey, the kids do sometimes if they are shocked, Bugger we use, but g'day mate nah,g'day yep. mate I dont use, but the truckies use it all the time, all the boys are called mate..

I dont think I use most of the things that are suposed to be us.
Have a sticky beak , I use all the time.
Bloke we use,
I cant think of the others, and porbably wouldnt have even notices some fo the things we do say if it wasnt for here. oh and when I visited America it seemed that there where a lot of words that they didnt use, that I had to try and work out another way to say whatever it was I was talking about..
Anaconda is still stumped at times, but he is working it all out.

Take a gander...(for the un accustomed to aussie lingo...have a look)

Stone the bloody crows!!! ..(For F's sake!)

Yeah... having a sticky beak...(same...have a peek, a nosey parker look)
