gawd, another thing i hate is people calling other people dawg/dog.

We should teach our kids Aussie slang to keep them away from this American rubbish.

Stuff like, strewth, cobber, sheila, maaate, mucker, geezer, bird..... oops reverted to my previous nationality towards the end....time for a lie down I think.

HH.

hahahahaha language, language language

I dont look at american slang as bad, but it has its own home, just like our slang has. Just as foriegn plants have their own home and our natives have their own home.

Very true, look what happened with the cane toads

the word "mate" will never go out of fashion

Or then theres

Robert Mc Gee and I,

found myself in finanial difficulty in Baton Rouge
...
and i was feeling rather tired, just as my jeans were somewhat worn
...
I removed my mouth organ, or harmonica from my rather soiled red handkerchief..

Astrid

so is it bad english or poetry

late 70's "Dead Set what a Hassle"
Riddgy Digdge

or my sons fav a few years ago so his mum wouldn't clout him "Soff" short for Phys Off

or other son who uses SMEG Orf instead of F%$% or "Fire Truck" he butchered my Frier Tuck

never heard the "My Bad"
