Snogging

This poem makes my heart sing. I understand it on no level except heart level, but I pushed the FAV button immediately, Jack. Good call!

Aussie continued...(part 2) You know what it’s like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. You know it’s summer when the steering wheel is too hot to handle, and the seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually ending in ‘o” – arvo, convo, garbo, lezzo, metho, muso, servo, smoko, rego, speedo, righto – etc. You know there is a universal place called ‘Woop Woop” located in the middle of nowhere - or ‘back of the black stump’ (the outback) – And now my prospective travellers, now you have learned the lingo - you can call yourselves Aussie - I love Australia.

You know you’re from 'Down Under' – (part 1) When you believe subbies can either be drunk or worn. You pronounce Melbourne as ‘Mel-bin’. Brisbane is ‘Bris-bin’. You believe that the letter ‘I’ in Australia is optional and it’s perfectly OK to call it ‘Straya’. You think ‘Woolloomooloo’ is a perfectly reasonable place name. You’re secretly proud of our killer wildlife.You believe it makes perfect sense for a country to a …$1 cone that twice the size of a $2 coin. You understand that ‘Wagga Wagga’ can be abbreviated to ‘Wagga’ but ‘Woy Woy’ cannot be just ‘Woy’. You believe the more you shorten someone’s name the more you like them. You understand that ‘excuse me’ can sound rude, but ‘scuse me’ is always polite.

Haha, you ever tried speaking upside down.lol.
