Hello Everyone

[William]

  Astrojewels, G'day to you too and put another shrimp on the barbie for me! :)

  This is so interesting about the "Watchers" that you brought up.  Somewhere here on the forum long ago I wrote something about the Watchers too.  A couple others seemed to know of the word also.  Tis just strange and cool you brought it up.

  Well ive had the misfortune of having Reptilians do my Astrology and then use it against me, however all of that was of great learning and understanding now that I look back at it.   So I see and understand some of your technique's and love your writing style.

  Anytime you want to write of your Aussie home life would be great, we have a diverse amount of people here besides Americans and I love to see or hear of their thoughts about life or where they live as being in america we are shut off from knowing outsiders so to say for lack of a better word (Or could just be my mind pattern).     I could be wrong but it seems like others not living in the USA can see us through tv and such and get some understanding of us, how distorted that is im not sure.  So to hear how others live in other parts of the world is very cool.....

Hi William,

I was over in the USA a couple of years ago, I loved it, and I made some great friends and had a fantastic time. Very different to here, everywhere my husband and I went people would laugh at us, it was our accent, I hope! We actually do not call ‘shrimp’ shrimp, it is a prawn here and I do not know anyone who cooks it on the barbeque. Crocodile Dundee made Australia famous, it is a great place to live, laid back and relaxed, people are friendly. However we have creatures and lots of them, snakes, spiders and lizards.

The ‘Aussie slang’ is not used as much as you think, it depends on where and how you live. Not many talk like this; see if you can translate this paragraph of slang-

 

-I am just gonna get on the dog and bone and call wozza, “hey mate, bring a slab and yr togs, were gonna burn some snags and shazza’s made a pav, don’t go hav’n no pommie shower, the drink is just cleaned out. Shazza’s got me a prezzie, a season of pozzies at the game. The tucker is taken care of, so just bring yr turps. Dazza was ere the other day, the blokes a wombat, skiting about his bucks, upsets me misses, what a wuss, he’s not the full quid I’m gonna have to snot him! Were gonna have a deadest ripper piss up, so get here”!-

 

This makes me laugh just writing it, when people talk like this, it is seriously so funny.

Astrojewels, Im in luv with the Aussie slang and the way you guys sound.  Ive had a friend come visit me here in the Us from Aussie, so Ive heard some of that.   I cant get over the way you guys say the word "NO"....  You like curl the end part of that.  I will do anything to hear you say no.  Say no please...  ahh c'mon, say no.....  say no.   say no.....   Ive also had some great Aussie wine with a kangaroo on the bottle, but im not sure if they made it out of kangaroo's!  ;)     My friend loved my backwoods voice, but I can have a southern accent or plain.  or Redneck , Im a multi talented redneck.....  hehehe.... 

  Now that black stuff you spread on crackers ( or biscuit or cookie's as you call our crackers) I could do without!!!!    Hope you know what im talkin bout here!

  My friend had to still use netting to sleep under.  Im sorry but You guys would send me home from screaming like a little girl everytime a creeeepy crawley bug slithers past me!!!!  ;)

William,

That black stuff is vegemite, we could not live without it. We brainwash our kids from a young age to eat it, every Aussie kid love a vegemite sanga! The bugs are a part of the land, it is hot and dry. You get used to the creatures. It is all a matter of the vowels, you guys extend the last vowel in the word we do it to the first.

We do not make wine from kangaroos, only food and clothing. Personally I do not like the taste. They are not biscuits or crackers, they are bickies. All you have to do to talk Aussie is abbreviate, cut everything in half, most of us spend so much time talking that we need to cut the words to get it all out, the word ‘bloody’ is also used a lot, not sure why.  

So onya way wozza, hava goodin, and ‘no’[/b] bloody way im gonna keep up with this lingo!

[William]

LOL,    I was just kiddin about the Kangaroos in the wine!  But the wine was really good.

You never know William, Aussies make and produce some weird stuff! But I have to tell you, I was at my brother’s birthday party yesterday, which was held at a big race track. He has lots of mates who are dinky di Aussie blokes and I really took notice of how they talked to one another, and you made me laugh all day thinking about what you had said. In a world full of misery, laughter is the food for the soul….so thanks

[William]

Hi Karen!

I am so happy to see you here! Welcome! I love your Astrology from the Expansions site and it is so nice that you have joined us! You are the most accurate and gifted Astrologer I have ever met! You GO girl! :dance:

I love the Aussie slang. . . (of course to you in OZ it is not slang! :slywink:) and it takes some real talent for Americans to undertand it! I think the wine is 'Yellow Tail' with the kangaroo on the bottle and it has been one of my favorite treats for the past year in all different kinds. Hooray! for OZ.

Blessings! Linda :big grin:

Hi Lightworker,

Isn’t fascinating that we are all linking up once more?  This is great, I also look forward to talking with you again on the forum. The only person I do not see here is Nauva, she was a good forum talker. I will have to email her and tell her to join our reunion.

Well, it is slang here too, not many people really use it. Some words are used daily but most talk the Queens English, that’s not a good thing hey! But I understand what you are saying, the other day I was talking to one of my friends on the phone, who lives in the US, we were discussing the price of bananas here, what? What is that you said? BANANAS, we say BAANAANAAS, you say BANNANNAS’, if that makes sense. I live in wine country, there are enormous estates in my town, what is the name of the estate on your wine?  But what is better than Aussie wine? Aussie chocolate, I have sent boat loads to my friends in the USA.
