Words we actually do use are biscuit (cookie) nappy (diaper) primary school (elementary school) university (college) etc.
I really disliked Steve Irwin because he perpetuate this ridiculous stereotype.
JeanieK, I has asked you to keep those questions to PM. Last question I am happy to answer. I live in Victoria, central Victoria in the bush. The closest city in Bendigo. |
I, personally, love and respect Steve Irwin and feel that he was not a "stereotype"....VERY true to the culture of Australia.
