    You know you're talking to an Aussie when......

    You believe that Wooloomooloo is a perfectly reasonable place name.


    The name of a town called Wagga Wagga can be abreviated to Wagga but Woy Woy can never be Woy.


    Arvo,garbo,& many other English words can be abreviated in the same way as long as they end in O.


    Stubbies can be a drink of beer or a pair of shorts.


    The shorter you abreviate a person's name the more you like him.

    Ooops! I forgot to mention Woop Woop. Any place in the outback that's too far away to remember the name.

    You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it.
