Appalling Language

One of the great things about being Australian is that you can say things like "fuck me dead it's cold out there" without people flinching.

This does not, however, apply in Europe.

That said, a flinch IS warming.

It's all about bringing back long dead expressions and using them constantly.

'You're a fucking pillock' or 'That's the badger' are to be encouraged.

Fair call I think Scoop.

What the hell does 'that's the badger' mean Will??

Or: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Thats+the+badger&defid=1176202

It's a great phrase. Use it today. Or look at this to brighten your day:

Thank you, most enlightening, the first two anyway. Where the hell did it come from I wonder.

I bet it was a South Western thing. They love their badgers in Devon & Cornwall.

Ah. My brother lives in Devon (usually) with a thoroughbred (woman from Devon, not horse) - I'll ask.

I went to Exeter University; though that really isn't representative of the population. Nice part of the world.

Where does he live?
