For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's cultural stereotyping - all Americans are rich and loud, all French smell of onions, all Italian men are lechers, all Indians are on the make, all black people are lazy - the list goes on and on. Remember, most of our perception of Australians is based on daytime soap operas, where characters do tend to say just that!
No non brain dead aussie ever said 'put another shrimp on the barbie'..we don't call them shrimps mate..oh sorry, g'day all.WW11 Aussies never said G'day in my experience, they were cultured and said "hello, how are you"..without any exceptions. You say "g'day mate only to people you know well unles you are a right turkey or a public school student (heheheheh)
saff..you total cretin..if "all Aussies ever say is "Strewth!", "Rack off!", "Flamin' Gallah!" and "Mongrel!" how the hell do you ask for a Mackers or a beer?? ...bloody idiot!
