I believe this belongs in Other Chat.
--- You Know You're From Australia When... Your next door neighbours can be from Tunisia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia... 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. The Greeks and Mexicans next door ask you over to have a barbeque. You don't actually use the words 'sheila' or 'shrimp'. You sleep with Aeroguard on. You're wearing a cap emblazoned with 'Get A Dog Up Ya.' You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread and actually grow to like it. You actively dislike Americans, but watch their TV, eat their food and worship their idols. You think Tall Poppy Syndrome is a national condition. Democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of John Howard. Your idea of a lethal weapon is a slug gun. The closest you ever got to going overseas was your packet of 5 Days In Rio grundies. A posh meal = an all-you-can-eat buffet. The term "musical instrument" also extends to wobbly bits of ply-wood, hand saws, gum leafs and combs. Your most offensive curse also doubles as an exclamation of awe or amazement, like, "fark orf!" All of your internationally famous people don't live here. You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't). 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? You don't drink Fosters, but you let the world think you do. The only thing better than beating the Pohms at ANY sport is giving them **** for it. 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.' You can compress several words into one - ie 'g'day', 'd'reckn?' This allows for more space for profanities. You favour either Holden or Ford - or a souped-up WRX with new kit and a bootful of subwoofer. Driving down the main street/beach road playing bad techno is your idea of a perfect Saturday night / Sunday arvo. You make kooky films, sometimes about wayward road trips (across the outback preferably). Quite a few are crap. You know all the words to Khe Sahn but not the national anthem. Your nickname ends in 'a' or 'o'. You have a customised stubby holder. Your soap stars become pop singers and move to the UK. 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. Your cooking apron has plastic breasts on it. The "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!" chant has been a religious experience in the past. The blokes at the local gym think your weight training is an opportunity to ask you out on a date. The big national sporting events are men-only. 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. Our mantras are 'fair go for all', 'mateship' and 'little Aussie battler' - but we still publicly condemn those with different viewpoints to us. The barbeque is a male-dominated arena. And the women do the salads. 'Fair go for all' excludes indigenous people. An eight-hour trip to go camping for the weekend isn't out of the question or excessive. You take pride in living in a tolerant multicultural society but firmly believe that all Poms and Kiwis are fair game. 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. The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories. Slick pick-up lines like 'Wanna shag?' and 'Carn, show us yer tits' can constitute male-to-female conversation. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. You realise you have no Bill of Rights. The first thing guaranteed to get eaten at parties is fairy bread. 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. |
You know you're from Canada when:
You're not offended by the term, "Homo Milk." You understand the phrase, "Could you pass me a serviette, I just dropped my poutine, on the chesterfield." You eat chocolate bars, not candy bars. You drink pop, not soda. You know what a Mickey and 2-4 mean. You don't care about the fuss with Cuba. It's a cheap place to go for your holidays, with good cigars. You know that a pike is a type of fish, not part of a highway. You drive on a highway, not a freeway. You have Canadian Tire money in your kitchen drawers. You know that Casey and Finnegan were not part of a Celtic musical group. You get excited whenever an American television show mentions Canada. You brag to Americans that: Shania Twain, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and many more are Canadians. You know that the C.E.O. of American Airlines is a Canadian! You know what a touque is. You know that the last letter of the English alphabet is always pronounced "Zed" not "Zee". You understand the Labatt Blue commercials. You know how to pronounce and spell "Saskatchewan." You perk up when you hear the theme song from "Hockey Night in Canada." You were in grade 12, not the 12th grade. "Eh?" is a very important part of your vocabulary and more polite than, "Huh?" Winter. Whenever you want it. And then some. There's German food, Italian food, Chinese food, Armenian food, American food, but NO Canadian food. You call a "mouse" a "moose". You like the Americans a little because they don't want Quebec either. Contests run by anyone other than the government have "skill-testing questions" that winners must answer correctly before they can claim a prize. Everything is labelled in English and French. Milk comes in plastic bags as well as cartons and plastic jugs. Mountain Dew has no caffeine. You know the 4 seasons are Winter, Still Winter, Almost Winter, and Roadwork/Construction You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Canada. ...Mwar, funny XD I added one in there, try to find it ^_^ |
You know you're from Romania when:
over half your TCG cards are fake most of your GBA cartriges are fake you have the most expensive fuel in all of Europe you hear about corruption all the time you don't even have 10,000 lei to buy food from the hi-school's shop you can see holes and bumps in the capital's streets they've been "working" on the subway for 4 years and still haven't fixed it an appartament gets robbed in your block every year(mine was too >_<) you hear that the old administrator scammed the dwellers badly, got away with it, and now lives across the street, still drinking the Pokémon TV show started 3 years ago and just barely got to the half of Johto by now there were no TCG cups in your country only a few of your friends know of Final Fantasy |
You Know You're In North Dallas When...
People start complaining about how their neighbor has a more expensive car. Everywhere you go, there is tons of shopping malls. There is a barbecue restaraunt next to an Asian restaraunt. You have a sudden urge to get something really really expensive when you're bankrupt. The weather changes from 60 degrees f to 109 degrees f in one day. You're stuck in Highland Park and find an old lady being approached by police officers for "suspiciously standing on the street corner." Everyone says the word "Ya'll" Everyone is amazingly gorgeous only because they had plastic surgery too many times. Most people at SMU (Dubbed the "Ashleys") can't find Iraq on a map. People live off of their father's and mother's wallet. If you're in Highland Park and you see a person from African American descent, someone will approach and ask why they are not a maid. (SO NOT TRUE! Not all african americans are maids.... but some people in Highland think so) People get married and divorced just for money. Alot. Nobody eats McDonalds. They have to be expensive upscale hamburger places. Like McDonalds, only much more expensive. (Like five or six dollars for a kids meal) Most young people don't have very good manners, even when they live in mansions and drive Escalades. |

You know you're from South Dakota when...:
The whole state gets excited when they mention Mount Rushmore on TV. You have a giant bird feeder in your town O_o March is your July, and July is dreadfully cool for summer. When you say "cover them up", it means cover up the flowers The whole state gets excited when my uncle wins something on the Price is Right.

|
you know when your from NY when:
You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan. You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but can’t find Wisconsin on a map. Hookers and the homeless are invisible. The subway makes sense. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. You've considered stabbing someone just for saying "The Big Apple". The most frequently used part of your car is the horn. You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard. You consider Westchester "upstate". You think Central Park is "nature." You see nothing odd about the speed of an auctioneer's speaking. You're paying $1,200 for a studio the size of a walk-in closet and you think it's a "steal." You've been to New Jersey twice and got hopelessly lost both times. You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the U.S. pay in rent. You haven't seen more than twelve stars in the night sky since you went away to camp as a kid. You go to dinner at 9 and head out to the clubs when most Americans are heading to bed. Your closet is filled with black clothes. You haven't heard the sound of true absolute silence since the 80s, and when you did, it terrified you. You pay $5 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28 cents. You take fashion seriously. Being truly alone makes you nervous. You have 27 different menus next to your telephone. Going to Brooklyn is considered a "road trip." America west of the Hudson is still theoretical to you. You've gotten jaywalking down to an art form. You take a taxi to get to your health club to exercise. Your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes. $50 worth of groceries fit in one paper bag. You have a minimum of five "worst cab ride ever" stories. You don't notice sirens anymore. You live in a building with a larger population than most American towns. Your doorman is Russian, your grocer is Korean your deli man is Israeli, your building super is Italian, your laundry guy is Chinese, your favorite bartender is Irish, your favorite diner owner is Greek, the watchseller on your corner is Senegalese, your last cabbie was Pakistani, your newsstand guy is Indian and your favorite falafel guy is Egyptian. You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you. You secretly envy cabbies for their driving skills. You think $7.00 to cross a bridge is a fair price. Your door has more than three locks. Your favorite movie has DeNiro in it. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression. You run when you see a flashing "Do Not Walk" sign at the intersection. You're 35 years old and don't have a driver's license. You ride in a subway car with no air conditioning just because there are seats available. You're willing to take in strange people as roommates simply to help pay the rent. There is no North and South. It's uptown or downtown. When you're away from home, you miss "real" pizza and "real" bagels. You know the differences between all the different Ray's Pizzas. You're not in the least bit interested in going to Times Square on New Year's Eve. Your internal clock is permanently set to know when Alternate Side of the Street parking regulations are in effect. You know what a bodega is. You know how to fold the New York Times in half, vertically, so that you can read it on the subway or bus without knocking off other passenger's hats. Someone bumps into you, and you check for your wallet..... You cringe at hearing people pronounce Houston St. like the city in Texas Film crews on your block annoy you, not excite you. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from NYC. |
I bold printed everything that is me
You Know You're From Virginia When... Speed limits are just suggestions You have at least two friends who have no idea what their relatives do...because its "top secret" government work Most of your senior class wend to Mason, JMU, Tech, VCU or UVA(my moms senior class) When people ask where you're from, you tell them DC because its easier to explain You've never told someone you're from Virginia without putting "northern," "central," or "southern" in front of it (See above.) It's not actually tailgating unless your bumper is touching the car in front of you. You know yellow light means at least 5 more cars can get through. (Yeah, man...at least. Probably also happens everywhere else.) A red light means 2 more can. You actually know what the black boxes at stoplights are for. Despite the fact that Virginia fought for the south in the Civil War, you are not, under any circumstances, a "southerner" You are amused by visiting relatives who are actually excited to see Washington, DC You took a field trip to Williamsburg as a kid You are amazed when you go out of town and the people at McDonalds speak English You or someone in your family has a Smart Tag An inch of snow and you miss 3 days of school All the potholes just add a little excitement to your driving experience Crown Victoria = undercover cop Subway is a fast food place. The transportation system is known as Metro, and only Metro. They just tore down the old farm house across the street and put 12 new McMansions in its place For the cost of your house, you could own a small town in Iowa If you stay on the same road long enough, it will eventually have three new names. You have to dial the area code to call your neighbor "Vacation" means spending a day at King's Dominion or Busch Gardens. "Going to the River" means any stream with water. You have never been served tea without the waitress asking "sweet or unsweetened?" Your favorite past time is telling West Virginia jokes. Anyone who can't trace his or her ancestry back to at least four generations in Virginia is an outsider. "Going to the beach" means anywhere from Ocean City to Virginia Beach to Myrtle Beach. |
You know you spend too much time in Alabama when...
You hear more heated arguments about whether Auburn or 'Bama is the best football team than you do about politics or religion combined. You begin to lose your powers of enunciation. Your friends all laugh at you for being that "[email protected] Yankee" while all the friends you have up North laugh at you for sounding like a hick. :P You actually get used to having complete strangers hold doors open for you, tell you to have a good day, or smile and nod their head at you. You begin to think that a petite woman having a hairdo that makes her taller than a professional basketball player might not be so ugly after all. You start to think that 40-degree (Fahrenheit) weather is much too cold. You actually miss shoveling snow. :P I live in Tennessee, by the way. But I work in Alabama, so that's where I spend most of my time. :D |
You know you are in Serbia when:
Your mom uses lard instead of Crisco to fry eggs. Your family owns a coffee grinder..and a nut grinder You have 17 consonants and 2 vowels in your last name Duck tape is your father's only tool next to using a kitchen knife as a screwdriver.

Your 15 year old sister can out-drink any Amerikanac You get a C in history, but can recite every Serbian king, in order, from Czar Dusan At your wedding you know only about a third of the people there. All weddings have the same cuisine "supa, sarma, Pecenje". A Serb girl tries to look 23 but she's actually 15. At least one of your friends name is "Dragan". You don't actually attend University, just hang out there and play "tablic". Your father expects you to study or "hit da books" every waking hour that he's home, and he expects nothing less than an "A". A cold shiver runs down your spine when your mom threatens by using the word "tata" in a sentence. Your Deda cuts the grass with knee high black socks and slippers. You work out six days a week, but somehow you dad whoops your *** in like five seconds after he comes home from a thirteen hour day from the bakery / factory / food business. You own a leather jacket. You have three pairs of black shoes. You drive a nicer car than your parents. There is a 120-gallon barrel of wine and Cabbage in your garage. You hear birds chirping and see the sun rise every time you come home from the bar. Your mother still makes your bed. Every car your family owns has chrome wheels. Your dad carries around enough money to buy a car. You wear a DKNY t-shirt when you work out. You have all brand new appliances in your kitchen but your mom cooks in the basement with the stove from your old house. You are prohibited from speaking English in you own home. Your parents can't pronounce "Thursday". Your mum makes her own bread and slices it with a BIG kitchen knife to a thickness of 2 inches per slice. You have the biggest sandwiches at school, always consisting of "prsut or salami". Your dad wears dress socks with tennis shoes. Your parents have gone on vacation ONCE and it was to Yugo. Your walls are crowded with icons of saints Your church has a fully loaded bar If you are a girl and not married by the age of 20 you are an old maid Your mother insists that you must eat something with "kasika" at least several times a week You base your whole life on the fortune in your coffee cup You eat canned peppers and ajvar with every meal You have a Kosovka Devojka goblen hanging on your wall You have a pair of wool slippers that your baba knit There's a slab of fat in your fridge called "slanina" Rakija is used to cure all illnesses, celebrate all occasions and as a massage lotion You celebrate Christmas and Easter and New Year two weeks after everyone else The head of a pig with an apple in its mouth is looked upon as a delicacy You had/have a pet named Mishko. You're an adult and still recieve Easter chocolate You are told that you'll grow a tail if you drink coffee at a young age Everyone is sure that you're Italian or Greek Your parents still prefer to buy cassettes instead of CDs. You are 6'5" 250# and your parents think you are too skinny. Your mom gloats about how good Serbian food is but serves Turkish coffee for all her friends Your friends' parents talk to you like they're YOUR PARENTS too. Your parents order "Pepsi, no ice" Your mom can bake a cake without sugar, chocolate, flour and oil, and she calls it "the embargo cake" You refer to John Travolta as "Jontra" Reunions are not complete without dissension and the airing of grievances. You are adored the first 10 years of your life, then treated like a complete idiot until you get married. You're proud to be Serbian - and you pass these jokes on to all your Serbian friends! |

You Know You're From Georgia When...
Sweet tea is THE drink. No questions. I'm the only person I know of that doesn't drink tea. XD When a waitress asks what you want to drink and you say Coke, she asks "What kind?" "Ya'll" is a word. OH my! That's so true, I use Ya'll all the time. XD Atlanta is known as "The City." With Atlanta having more people living there then rest of the State. Yea it's The City. XD You know the difference between a hillbilly, a redneck, and a Southerner. There is a difference if ya'll (I had to throw that in there XD) didn't know. XD The one way to be killed in .5 seconds is to talk about somebody's mama or talk bad to somebody's mama. Partly right. Krispy Kreme dounuts are the only kind of dounuts you eat. They are the only dounuts I eat. But they are really good. XD Fried chicken is a major part of your diet. So ture. XD When the Goverment started telling people to stock up on duck tape, you were waaaaaaaaaay ahead of them. We got 3 or 4 rolls around here somewhere. XD You walk into someone's house and people are sitting around smoking what they call "the garden" On one side of the road there's Wal-Mart and on the other is a cotton field Around here, one side of the road is a Wal-Mart and the other side is woods. XD You greet people with"Howdy, Whachu doin?" Not me. XD You know what a 'dawg' is. Not really, but I got something in mind. XD You know people who consider a six pack and a bug zapper quality entertainment. A bug zapper is really fun. XD The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road."

I know a few people that does. XD You call it a cold Christmas if you don't break out in a sweat in your new sweater. Yep, it doesn't get all that cold around here. You'll be lucky to get a cold enough day to use a light jacket. XD Your whole town completely shuts down for 1 inch of snow or just the threat of snow XD That's ture. If we hear snow every one runs off to the store to pick up stuff to last a week. And when the snow comes (if it comes at all) it melts as soon as it hits the ground. And if it lays then it's most likely not deep enough to leave a foot print. XD You know at least three streets named "Peachtree" This one is so funny, because there are a good many roads named "Peachtree". XD You don't know anyone who drinks Pepsi. It's ture, I don't know a single person that drinks Pepsi. We all drink coke. XD The last thing you want to do is give another driver the finger... unless your car is armored, your trigger finger is itchy and your AK-47 has a full clip. Now now, we don't have AK-47's (they are illegal). We got rifles, shotguns, and hand guns. They do far worse to a car then an AK-47. XD It is not a shopping cart, it is a buggy. They are called a buggy. o.o XD People actually grow, eat and like okra! Fried and boiled is good. XD You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Georgia. And Georgia is a font too (I think the only state with a font of it's own XD). |

Ones that apply to me are in bold, and there aren't actually a lot. But, generally, this does apply to most Ohioans.
You Know You're From Ohio When... You don't think of Florida first when someone mentions Miami. You snicker when someone's from Tiffin, because you think of the State Hospital. You think Pro football teams are supposed to wear orange! You've heard of 3.2% beer. Schools close for the state basketball tournament. You're proud of your state fair, but would rather go to Cedar Point. You live less than 30 miles from some college or university. You know what a buckeye really is, and have a recipe for candy ones. "Toward the lake" means "north" and "toward the river" means "south." You've heard of the Great Nickel Beer Night Riot. You know if other Ohioians are from southern or northern Ohio as soon as they open their mouths. You root for a college team though you've never taken a class there. You can spell words like Cuyahoga, Olentangy, Bellefontaine, and Tuscarawas You always visit more than two amusement parks in one summer. You know that Serpent Mounds were not made by snakes. You know what game they're playing when the Mud Hens take on the Clippers. Vacation means spending a day at Cedar Point or King's Island. Down south to you means Kentucky. You thought that the Michael Stanley Band was the most popular band in the country. |
Here's mine X3
YOU KNOW YOU'RE FROM BRITAIN WHEN.. You believe that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are all good nights for drinking. Sunday day is also entirely reasonable. Yeah XD that's probably my irish side X3 You're always a half an hour late to work ... no-one notices or cares. ..i would be if i wasn't noticed XD Coming to work with a hangover is entirely accepted and indeed expected at least once a week. XD true You can actually give directions to some of those annoying tourists in Oxford Street! ..so-so..if i can't, i just guess XD You step over a drunk in the tube station rather than offering to help them. ..true ^^; you never know whether they're an aggressive drunk o.o; You don't even bother looking out of the window when you get up in the morning to check what the day is like. You know it is overcast. ..seeing the sun is like a God-send XD You consider a suit to be normal attire for the pub. when i've just finished work, why not? X3 You expect men to actually cut, comb and style their hair (using hair products). And to wear decent clothes. err..is there anyone who wouldn't? XD You dissolve in laughter when listening to the funny accent of the Aussie international telephone operator (or on TV!). ..i don't laugh at neighbours, so no XD but i wish so many americans would stop confusing the aussie and english accent >.< You think £40 for a haircut is quite reasonable. ..not just a cut, though ^^; You can't remember what 'customer service' means. ..o.o; i don't know where they got that one from ^^; After a big night out you find yourself looking for a Curry house naws, a kebab takeaway! XD must have burger after heavy drinking X3 More than three hours sunlight on summer days seems excessive. ..again..God-send XD You don't think twice about tipping your hairdresser Of course not ^^ You finish every sentence with 'Cheers' or 'Yeah'. ..not every XD and i only say 'cheers' rarely ^^; You only just realise you have lost your sunnies, you left them in Greece 2 summers ago. XD i visit my sister in florida every year, so i do get out of the country You like English cuisine. I mean, it's hard to beat a full English breakfast. mmm..and a roast dinner! XD You are on to your 6th umbrella and your second overcoat... this year ..our coats can last longer than 2 months surprisingly..XD You've bought a disposable baby BBQ from Tesco. I've bought a few in my time XD A day at the beach means wearing the warmest clothes you own while standing on golf ball-size pebbles and the thought of swimming doesn't even enter your head. ..i'd never go to the beach unless it was a warm summer day XD You always call soccer football and you have a team and it's not Manchester United. ..or americans call football soccer XD and..i don't have a team ^^; i'm not a fan You don't think twice about buying a packaged sandwich. ..why would i? XD A sunny lunchtime means searching for a patch of grass and stripping off practically down to your underwear Definately XD You've accepted queuing as a way of life. Yesh, yesh i have :3 You believe that every American is a fatass addicted to hamburgers and hotdogs. Naws X3 but there are quite a few XD You despise the French (but then, who doesn't?). Not particularly XD but i know quite a few people who do ^^; You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Britan. ..presuming brits look at this thread, yes XD |
You Know You're From Connecticut When...
You never went to a bar in high school. Nope, I haven’t been to a bar o_o; You thought that the only highways were 91 and 84. You mean there are others? XD You actually thought that Hartford was big. Hartford is not big <_<; You or someone you know has attended UCONN. Yup, yup… I know plenty of people You still think that the Whalers are cool. Haha, the Whalers… they might come back, ya know XD You have been to Misquamicut and to that little hot dog place. I know of it, I dunno if I’ve been there though O_o There is a farm within miles of your house. Yeah, actually there is o_o Your high school thanksgiving football game was the highlight of your school year. I’ve never actually gone to one of those XD You don't have an accent when you talk. XD!!! I don’t! I really, really wanna know what a CT accent it like. o_o; UConn basketball rules and no one can tell you different. Uconn basketball does rule, but I don’t like sports… meh XD You still don't understand why people say that Connecticut is the richest state..... Seriously!!! CT is crap XD You go to Riverside at least once a summer. Six Flags, you mean? Yeah-huh Your parents actually care about the Governor, the Patriots coming to Hartford, the lights at Christmas in Hartford & Channel 3 news. XD! The governor *cough* Pats, no… but the lights! Hell yeah! You have at least one friend with a pickup. Yeah! I do actually! More than one. o_o; You think Old Lyme is a shore town. It is… o_o; You've been to Cape Cod. I think I have… not recently though You think the Connecticut River is endless. XD I don’t have a clue where it starts… it ends in the sound though You root for all the New York sports teams. Eww no! Red Sox <3 You've never looked at a public bus schedule. True, I haven’t O_o; You go to the diner late night to post party. Yeah, but only for the play and dance and stuff like that You can proudly tell an outsider about Nutmeg. I’m a nutmeg! XD I’ve never heard that expression before though… You weekend either on the Cape or Rhode Island at a summer home. No, but a lot of people I know do You have said... " I'm in a good location... Between both Boston and New York." I actually have said that XD You have to explain Cow Tipping to people from out of state. XD! My math teacher in 8th grade used to go cow tipping! You get pissed at anyone who doesn't know how to drive in the snow. Oh my God, yeah >< You don't think you're a yuppie, but the rest of the country does. I’m not a yuppie <_<; There is absolutely nothing to do in the winter. OMG, that is so true >< You live twenty minutes from either an Abercrombie & Fitch, J. Crew, or GAP. Well, yeah… we have ‘em in the mall You sail, or know someone who does. My mom’s cousins do XD You can't get through the week with out a Coffee Coolata. I know people that can’t… I personally don’t like coffee period Your family owns more cars than legal drivers. Almost XD School attire is a North Face fleece jacket, a North Face Fleece or L.L. Bean back pack, a plaid shirt, khakis, and Doc Martins. No, no, yes XD, no, no, and no… I have an L.L. Bean backpack! You carry your keys on a carabineer, but you don't know how to rock climb. XD! So that’s what those are called! I do… but I have gone rock climbing before… in 6th grade As a child you took horseback riding, golfing, tennis and swimming lessons. No, no, no and yes… I took swimming lessons in a summer camp though You own every DMB CD. XD! I don’t own any… but I know what that’s getting at! You can't understand why people don't understand what your talking about when you refer to a "package" store. A package store? Wha? Like a post office? You went to prep school even though your public schools are awesome. No… I go to a public school XD People actually wear sweaters around their necks. Only Will does that… XD You've never taken public transportation. I have… just not in my own state Your mom drives a Volvo wagon. No… my mom drives a Ford Taurus. XD my friend’s mom does/did though You have at least one friend whose house was built in the 1800's. Haha, yeah… like, everyone who lives in the colonial part of town XD You live in a huge colonial. Nope… a one story brick ranch O_o; Your house would cost half as much in any other state. Probably XD At least one of your friends has a sick house right on the water. A sick house? O_o; Well, yeah people have beach houses… The list was a lot longer, I cut out all the ones that either didn't pertain to me at all, or were drug references. <<; |
OK, bolded the ones that apply to me~ BTW, those people who've posted or quoted this one, note that there's a censor bypass that needs to be deleted in it.
You Know You're From Australia When... Your next door neighbours can be from Tunisia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia... ~ it's possible if not strictly correct in my suburb XD 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. The Greeks and Mexicans next door ask you over to have a barbeque. You don't actually use the words 'sheila' or 'shrimp'. You sleep with Aeroguard on. You're wearing a cap emblazoned with 'Get A Dog Up Ya.' You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread and actually grow to like it. ~ it's VEGEMITE! Is awesome~ You actively dislike Americans, but watch their TV, eat their food and worship their idols. ~ well, not all Americans, mostly the idiots like GWB You think Tall Poppy Syndrome is a national condition. ~ there's so much of it here~ not a good thing~ Democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of John Howard. ~ Leunig = awesome~ Your idea of a lethal weapon is a slug gun. The closest you ever got to going overseas was your packet of 5 Days In Rio grundies. A posh meal = an all-you-can-eat buffet. The term "musical instrument" also extends to wobbly bits of ply-wood, hand saws, gum leafs and combs. ~ and there's a problem with that? Your most offensive curse also doubles as an exclamation of awe or amazement, like, "**** orf!" ~ **** yeah! All of your internationally famous people don't live here. ~ even half of Jet now! You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't). 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? ~ agree with the bold, not with the italic XD You don't drink Fosters, but you let the world think you do. The only thing better than beating the Pohms at ANY sport is giving them **** for it. ~ oh yeah, that's AWESOME :P 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.' You can compress several words into one - ie 'g'day', 'd'reckn?' This allows for more space for profanities. ~ d'reckn? You favour either Holden or Ford - or a souped-up WRX with new kit and a bootful of subwoofer. Driving down the main street/beach road playing bad techno is your idea of a perfect Saturday night / Sunday arvo. You make kooky films, sometimes about wayward road trips (across the outback preferably). Quite a few are crap. You know all the words to Khe Sahn but not the national anthem. Your nickname ends in 'a' or 'o'. ~ not me, personally, but a lot of people I know XD You have a customised stubby holder. Your soap stars become pop singers and move to the UK. ~ and I wish the rest would go too. XD 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. Your cooking apron has plastic breasts on it. The "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!" chant has been a religious experience in the past. ~ can't be Aussie without the chant! The blokes at the local gym think your weight training is an opportunity to ask you out on a date. The big national sporting events are men-only. ~ not necessarily spectators, but definitely the teams~ 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. ~ they wish! Our mantras are 'fair go for all', 'mateship' and 'little Aussie battler' - but we still publicly condemn those with different viewpoints to us. ~ the politicians again~ The barbeque is a male-dominated arena. And the women do the salads. 'Fair go for all' excludes indigenous people. ~ to John Howard anyway. An eight-hour trip to go camping for the weekend isn't out of the question or excessive. You take pride in living in a tolerant multicultural society but firmly believe that all Poms and Kiwis are fair game. ~ of course! What would life be without them? Wonderful! You insist on asking every celebrity who steps off an aircraft what they think of Australia. If the response is not overwhelmingly positive, they should be subjected to immediate public ridicule. The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories. Slick pick-up lines like 'Wanna shag?' and 'Carn, show us yer tits' can constitute male-to-female conversation. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. You realise you have no Bill of Rights. The first thing guaranteed to get eaten at parties is fairy bread. 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 Australia. |
You know you're from Texas when:
You beleive it is called PMS because Mad Cow Disease is already taken Taking beer to church is acceptable and recommended The perfect date is a night out with your third cousin at the family spitoon If no one but southerners understood a word you say Football time is holy time Your cousin is also your sister |
