At last, a yardstick by which you can measure an "Australian" For those of
you who haven't met an Australian and are not sure what one is REALLY ?
You're not Australian 'til -
1) You've mimicked Alf Stewart from the TV show Home and Away's broad,
Australian accent,
eg. "push off, ya flamin' drongo !"
2) You've had an argument with your mate over whether Ford or Holden makes
the better car !
3) You've done the "hot sand" dance at the beach while running from the
ocean back to your towel.
4) You know who Ray Martin is !
5) You start using words like "reckon" and "root" and call people "mate".
6) You stop greeting people with "hello" and go straight to the "how ya
goin' ?"
7) You've seriously considered running down the shop in a pair of Ugg Boots
8) You own a pair of ugg boots.
9) You've been to a day-night cricket match and screamed out
incomprehensibly until your throat went raw.
10) You kind of know the first verse to the national anthem, but don't know
what "girt" means.
11) You have a story that somehow revolves around excess consumption of
alcohol and a mate named "Dave".
12) You've risked attending an outdoor music festival on the hottest day of
the year.
13) You've tried to hang off a clothesline while pretending you can fly.
14) You've had a visit to the emergency room after hanging off the
clothesline pretending you can fly.
15) You own a pair of thongs for everyday use, and another pair of "dress
thongs" for special occasions.
16) You don't know what's in a meat pie, and you don't care.
17) You pronounce Australia as "Stralya"
18) You call soccer soccer, not football
19) You've squeezed Vegemite through vita wheat to make little Vegemite
worms.
20) You have sucked your coffee through a Tim Tam.
21) You realise that lifeguards are the only people who can get away with
wearing Speedos.
22) You pledge allegiance to Vegemite over Promite.
23) You understand the value of public holidays.
24) Your weekends are spent barracking for your favourite sports team.
25) You have a toilet dolly.
26) Your Mum or Nan made it.
27) You've played beach cricket with a tennis ball and a bat fashioned out
of a fence post.
28) You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok, and have told
a mate in tough times that "She'll be right, mate"
29) You use the phrase, "no worries" at least once a day.
30) You've been on a beach holiday and have probably stayed in a caravan.
31) You constantly shorten words to "brekkie", "arvo" and "barbie"
32) You've adopted a local bar as yours
33) You know the oath of mateship can never be limited by geographical
distance.
34) You measure a journey in beer, not kilometres or time.
(That's a 3 stubby trip mate).
BTW...if yer thinkin' about it, don't bring yer foreign Ugg Boots, get 'em while yer 'ere. Right, Jafo!!!!!!
