That sounds like something British! All of those odd words... :)
oh ok British
Hmm, guess I'm a "numpty" then. As long as you didn't call me "Wanker" or "Puta" I can live with that, although it wasn't me you were calling that, was it.;)Quote:

Well, at least our argument led us to learn a new (and odd) word... now we can all go and call everyone we know numptys... :) :)
And laugh even harder when they have to ask what it means!
Yeah... I don't think it'd be in any dictionary!! lol...:) :D
The definition is the first thing on the list if you put it in google
Shut up Sarge...
...you wanker ;)
I kid.
ok spirit man... sorry!:rolleyes:
lol thats right! know your place sonny! ;) jk it's all good.
I'd be really surprised if nobody else looked it up or just figured it out, thats not the first time he's said it, I think it was when he was battling some naive bear fan over if the show was fake or not.
Okay Aussie, (sigh) I asked for that! By the way, at my other forum we have a Kiwi member whom I had the pleasure of meeting a few years back.(Kiwi is a New Zealander to all you "numptys" out there.:rolleyes:) I explained that I was learning to speak various accents and had been given instructions on how to do Austrailian & I wondered if there was any difference between Aussie & NZ. He told me that you can always tell the difference because people from Austraila tend to swear & spit a whole lot more. Any truth to that?:confused:Quote:

There are loads of differences between the Kiwis and the Aussies.
Really? Like what differences? My understanding is that the accents are much the same, is that correct?:rolleyes:Quote:

They pronounce certain sounds differently.
We see "chips" (as in fish and chips) they pronounce it as " fesh and chups".
The funny thing about Aussies is no madder how mad they get and angry they try to sound they still sound so cute. lol :D
That's because we're so beautifull.
Oh is that why lol
Go on. I'm a 20 year old Australian male who surfs, rock climbs, kayaks etc.
Just try and resist my beauty.
Did I mention I have a tan? ;)
Uh-oh, Owl-girls at it again.:rolleyes: wonder how cold it gets in Australia?:DQuote:
