You know you're an aussie when...

1) You've had an argument with your mate over whether Ford or Holden makes the better car!

(Its ford you ****ers)

2) You've done the "hot sand" dance at the beach while running from the ocean back to your towel.

3) You start using words like "reckon" and "root" and call people "mate".

4) You stop greeting people with "hello" and go straight to "how ya doin'?"

5) You've seriously considered running down to the shop in a pair of Ugg boots

6) You own a pair of ugg boots.

7) You have a story that somehow revolves around excess consumption of alcohol and a mate named "Dave".

8) You've risked attending an outdoor music festival on the hottest day of the year.

9) You own a pair of thongs for everyday use, and another pair of "dress thongs" for special occasions.

10) You don't know what's in a meat pie, and you don't care.

11) You pronounce Australia as "Stralya"

12) You've squeezed Vegemite through Vita Wheat to make little Vegemite worms.

13) You suck your coffee through a Tim Tam.

14) You realise that lifeguards are the only people who can get away with wearing Speedos.

15) You've played beach cricket with a tennis ball and a bat fashioned out of a fence post.

16) You firmly believe that in the end, everything will be ok, and have told a mate in tough times that "She'll be right, mate"

17) You use the phrase, "no worries" at least once a day, and know what 'Push off, ya flamin' drongo!' means.

18) You've been on a beach holiday and have probably stayed in a caravan.

19) You constantly shorten words to "brekkie", "arvo" and "barbie"

20) You measure a journey in beer, not kilometres or time. (That's a 3 beer trip mate)


All so very true.

Okay, back on topic...

Would one of you Aussies kindly enlighten me as to what "Push off, ya flamin' drongo!" means, so that I too, might one day learn the way of the Aussie?

Yeah... you got me.

I know the real anthem is:

Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh
