Alrighty, I actually forgot about this for a while but it's back.

Regional forum invasion, for those who don't know, is just a fun thing. A thread will be created in one of the other regional forums SPECIFICALLY to bring our aussie flavoured culture into light to others who don't know.

So get pics from the web, koalas, kangaroos, comics, tooheys beer (;)), use as many slangs as you can. Nothing rude obviously.

I'm no aussie, but i at least understand them :). So all you aussies get there and get cracking.

Find all your pics and tell us when you're ready.

No thread yet, we'll invade shortly. :)

hehehe....Oh Sharky....there is no doubt about you!! What am I going to do with you?
You live in Oz mate...therefore...you're an Aussie! You've just made me laugh for the first time in days...
Well, this one is a 5th generation Aussie. My ancestors came from the British Isles with the first settler fleets. I reckon I'd know every slang word in the book...don't know the rude one's though...not on your nelly mate!

Hehe your right, i am technically aussie :D

I know alot of the slangs, but just don't say any of them. Feels weird to me. But i can at least boast that i can understand the true blue talk from any aussie. unlike the yanks :D. hehe no offense ;)

Only two slangs i use that are aussie flavoured are 'mate' and 'siiiick'. :)


I think at the end of an invasion we should post up an aussie flag with the writing. (You have been had by a buncha aussies) :D

Like this one below! :D

Sharky I'd like to say... thanks for starting that Aussie invasion... I just had a marvellous time posting there.. (btw the only words used there that I don't normally use are blokes *although I do use it on odd occasions* and sheilas but apart from that we do use those words on a regular basis at home and with my friends)... it kinda helps knowing a few of the aussie slang words when you talk to a few people overseas and they have no idea what you're talking about (they learnt US english). Had a German exchange student for a while, he had great english vocab and to begin with, everysecond word, we had to explain what it meant... which can be quite difficult when you're so used to everyone understanding exactly what you mean... (are we gonna use any of our famous one liners while we're there?;))
