This is mostly for the benefit of Asp who has asked myself and SabertoothWolF for advice on how to sound more Australian. Since neither Saber nor myself are particularly Australian ("STRAYAN"), we struggle to articulate the vaguely stroke-like affectations of our compatriots. However, this list will help you understand how we follow at a close second to the Americans for "relentless and unprovoked assaults on the English language". www.buzzfeed.com/chrisrodley/most-strayan-words-of-all-time#.wcNpy9wWd92, 91 and 90 should be noted and offence in future not taken should an Australian refer to any of you after you win a race as a cunt, a sick cunt, or a mad cunt - these are in fact the equivalent of bestowing peerage in the UK or the Freedom Medal of Freedom, Patriotism and Freedom in the US. If you add "heaps" in place of "very" or "a lot" etc you will also add to your STRAYANESS. For example - "that Chilli guy is a heaps sick cunt" - HIGHEST PRAISE. 10/10 KANGAROOS. Your pal, Endersai High Commissioner of Australia to NoDo (Self-appointed)

Endersai High Commissioner of Australia to NoDo (Self-appointed) Objection! I think you'll find I am sufficiently qualified for that position. Edit: They don't have showbags overseas? What a sad world they must live in.

I think it's considered cheating if we speak it.
"I just saw a festy derro outside me work scab a durry off a mate."
See? Just too easy.
