Language or lack thereof

[livejournal.com profile] squish_67 and I were having a discussion about us both speaking English but not understanding each other; and it’s not just my accent either!!

So I thought I’d post a couple of links to some Australian usages that may be unfamiliar to English speakers from other countries.

Well do I remember the horror of my German flatmate at the then political parties’ slogan of “Keeping the Bastards honest.” She never could understand why nobody took offence at it….

An interactive website run by the National Museum

Have fun!!
