amusedYour next door neighbours can be from Tunisia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia...
yep
The community is so concerned over the fact that muslim women can't use public swimming pools because there are men present that they have female-only periods.
not around here
The Greeks and Mexicans next door ask you over to have a barbeque.
yep

Democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of John Howard.
You bet!

Gotta love them Golden Troughs

that's silly
Your most offensive curse also doubles as an exclamation of awe or amazement, like, "fark orf!"
'ken oath!
All of your internationally famous people don't live here.
True
You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't).
Those bogans are boofheads. I hate them
You relish test cricket - the longest, slowest game in sport (and that's not even counting the replays). After all, what else gives you an excuse to sit on your arse for five days, watch TV and sink piss with your mates?
True!
You don't drink Fosters, but you let the world think you do.
YES! And I TELL EVERYONE IT'S PISS!
The only thing better than beating the Pohms at ANY sport is giving them shit for it.
Hee hee hee!
You love, adore and admire a particular team/sportstar/actor on a winning streak - until they lose. Then they're just crap and 'past it.'
Yep
You can compress several words into one - ie 'g'day', 'd'reckn?' This allows for more space for profanities.
Whadayareckon?
You favour either Holden or Ford - or a souped-up WRX with new kit and a bootful of subwoofer.
It's ture, but not about the WRX. Doof-doof boyz in their rice-cars shit me.
Driving down the main street/beach road playing bad techno is your idea of a perfect Saturday night / Sunday arvo.
Not for me.

You know all the words to Khe Sahn but not the national anthem.
True
Your nickname ends in 'a' or 'o'.
Y, actually
You have a customised stubby holder.
*embarrassment*
Your soap stars become pop singers and move to the UK.
GOOD!
You've ever used the words - grouse, tops, ripper, choice, sick, rad, exo, ace, wicked, ballistic - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you really mean it.
Yep!
Your cooking apron has plastic breasts on it.
No.
The "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!" chant has been a religious experience in the past.

There's a gym? What's it do?
The big national sporting events are men-only.
Sad, but true.
Your politicians believe than sticking the prefix 'un' in front of your nationality is an effective way of making you sit down and shut up.
That's the best way to annoy me and make me cross.
Our mantras are 'fair go for all', 'mateship' and 'little Aussie battler' - but we still publicly condemn those with different viewpoints to us.
Not personally, but it's true.
The barbeque is a male-dominated arena. And the women do the salads.
YES!
'Fair go for all' excludes indigenous people.
Sad, but true. I don't agree with it.
An eight-hour trip to go camping for the weekend isn't out of the question or excessive.
Only 8 hours? Why not do a proper road trip?
You take pride in living in a tolerant multicultural society but firmly believe that all Poms and Kiwis are fair game.
8)
You insist on asking every celebrity who steps of an aircraft what they think of Australia. If the response is not overwhelmingly positive, they should be subjected to immediate public ridicule.
This is a sad fact of Australian Journalism.
The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories.

Sad, but true
You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not.

You realise you have no Bill of Rights.
If you define what the rights are, they can ban everything else!

yep!
So that's the special ingredients that make up an Aussie - whatever your taste.

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Austrailia.
Guilty!
