blutach Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Strewth = "God's truth". But way back, when it was bad to say God as a damnation, it got abbreviated. Polo's translation is how it is used in the vernacular. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirk1701™ Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Can I jump in here and repeat some of the things Pain_man has already said? As alot of what he said is right in line with what I've been wanting to say only I didn't know the words to express myself and and say myself, he's hit the nail on the head here so I'm just going to quote him. Sometimes I let my temper override my good sense. Sometimes, like most of us, I can be an asshole. It was never my intention to alienate anyone or offend anyone. Except after things got out of hand In short, if I've pissed you off or offended you, I do apologize for that. Several of you I consider friends. It's rare to find such a concentrated number of intellectuals and brilliant people. My sense of humor has probably also played apart in alienating some of the Members. It's hard to face, but it is the truth: other people don't find me nearly as funny as I find my self (I realize that's leaving a great big target, an opportunity that, no doubt, will not be missed. But I don't mind; in fact I welcome it. I enjoy a good zinger. I don't have a problem with fun made at my expense, as long as it's not intentionally cruel.) This isn't exactly intended as a mea culpa, but rather an attempt to explain to those who I've pissed off that it wasn't my intention (a few times aside) to do so. Whether this matters or not, I don't know. I only hope that it's take in the manner intended. Pain_Man I hope you don't mind my plagiarizing but you could say it better then I ever could, hell I could never come up with words like this on my own. Also, don't want to Hi-Jack your thread but just seemed like a good spot What started as a joke on clinks ended up getting out of hand and that then carried over here to imageburn, everytime I posted good or bad, was followed with someone posting some smart remarks because I had pissed people off. To all I offended, can we move on and forget it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movie Junkie Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Sometimes I let my temper override my good sense. Sometimes I let my enthusiasm for certain things (politics is one) override good manners. Sometimes, like most of us, I can be an asshole. I'm glad I've never done anything like that.

Pain_Man Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have a program called Babylon. Basically it's a collection of dictionaries, encyclopedias, databases, conversion engines (currency, metric->standard, etc) as well as foreign language translation. I have an Aussie Slang dictionary installed. When I punched in "Do" (the musical note "doh" not the verb), the Aussie Slang Dict. gave me like four dozen different Aussie expressions beginning with "do" (the verb)! I really had no idea how much slang y'all have. Australian has every right to be called a full-fledged dialect! But Septic Tanks? Must be that particularly Aussie sense of humor. Or, rather unique sense of humor. PM, it's got nothing to do with insults, it's purely rhyming with the word yank. Yank > Septic tank. Cheque > Gooses neck. Commodore > Dunnydoor. (A very popular car in Oz) Holden Commodore, made by GM. Or GMH to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain_Man Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Thanks, blu. I had no idea what the hell Irwin meant when he said that. I miss the guy. I know he embarassed some Australians (or so I've been told). But he was so balls out, so full of life. He's one of those that broke the mould. Now that he's gone, all the wannabe "Croc Hunters" (Aussie, American, etc) seem even more like poseurs than they did b4. IMO, that is. Fair dinkum is not an Irwinism. It goes back to the 1800s I am sure. It means, "for sure" or "no doubt". Or in its inquisitive form, "Fair dinkum, eh?" meaning "you don't say". How it came about, well, FIIK. BUT .... "Fair dinkum, mate, the Aussies are gunna whip the pommies' arses today in the cricket". Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
