I hear you loud and clear bud,It ****s me big time how Australia adopts the American influence on words.
Terms like SUV,instead of fourby,Selfie,Fries instead of chips,Far to much American influence on many aspects of Australian life TV,Music,Movies,Food.

Be proud to be a Aussie.

Swansea now has a "drug store" where the chemist used to be. :mad:

[DoubleChevron]

Hell will freeze over before I call anything an SUV ... My brain immediatly decodes this too "Stupid Urban Vehicle"..... I rekcon we should call them CMAWI ....Chubby Middle Aged Women Inside ..... especially for the little pretend **** tanks that are actually 2wd, but "pretend" to look like boxy 4wds so the CMAW's will by them.

I think the word "Selfie" was coined by an Aussie but I've been known to be wrong before
:D

It's hard to market "ham"anything to certain groups without causing offence.

[Mick_Marsh]

Yep. the americanisation of our society annoys me too.
Some of our kids, nowdays, have American accents.
I blame the telly.

Pop in and ask for some marijuana.

Call me ignorant if you will but I have never heard the term slider where did you hear this? And I agree way to much sepoisums creeping in

I would have thought that holding that pole out the window cockpit at speed would require more than one hand (but we don't know what the other was doing, ay?)

[disco man]

And the term i hate the most 'Pick up truck' instead of ute.I have seen it twice in adverts up here:mad:

[gofish]

I believe sliders ref. to mini hamburgers not your regular sized ones.

Another reason to do it:)Every prisoner should have bacon for breakfast,or go hungry:)

We've had 'stores' instead of shops for several years, my young colleagues frequently go to the 'bathroom', but I knew that all was lost when someone on this very site last year called a manual gearbox a 'stickshift'. Seems to me the seppo language has already replaced the Aussie one I grew up with.

So a Ham Grenade wouldn't be culturally sensitive enough?

"It ****s me big time how Australia adopts the American influence on words." :angel::p:D:twisted:And yet you used the term "BUD"

Hey i first heard that when i moved to Australia and i thought it was an Aussie word.;)

No.
Even though Hamburger has more to do with Germany than our porcine "buddies."
Nor would giving someone a "pressed ham" moon be acceptable.

[UncleHo]

Nah! "BUD" is a Sepo word,the Aussie word is "MATE" like in G'day Mate :) ---a MATE of mine went fishing yesterday ;)

[UncleHo]

Isn't that right Nigie mate :)

[AllTerr]

Yeah, dude....
