Boy, no flies on you, huh? :unamused:

I’d hate to be a classroom with an English English teacher. I can’t understand them with that funky British accent.

They’re all, “G’day, mate. Put the shrimp on the barbie.”
And I’d be all, “What? Barbie dolls? I don’t play with dolls. They are model figures.”
And then they’d say, “Roight, guvnah, play dem honkey ass, eh?”
And then I’d be all, “Who ends a sentence with a question? I mean, just ask the question, right?”
Then they’d be all, “You dingo dingo dingo.”

See my confusion?

I think the highlighted bits are more (stereotypically) Australian, mate.

:roflmao: Yep! You need to go watch more rugby with the Saffas, Kiwis, Aussies and the odd Englishman. It’ll do your accent targeting a world of good. :smiley:
