Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I'm partial to "ridgy-didge"

Also like some of the colourful sayings like:
"It's going off like a frog in a sock"
or
"That family is rougher than hessian undies"

Now i'm curious. Do you use any Aussie slang in your normal life? If so what words or terms?

Jamming With The Didgeridoo Faucet

Australians - Arj Barker

Australian vs. Outback Steakhouse

I'm not a fan of the Chaser when they do things like this, I mean, they are making life hard for people who are otherwise just trying to do their jobs.

Plus it is a little lazy, I mean there are plenty, plenty of better ways to make fun of the Outback Steakhouses.

Just show one of their ads... they're terrible enough.

But yeah, at least themed restaurants of other countries at least TRY to be a tiny bit authentic.

HOLY CRAP! I was just looking to see what's on their menu (as I can't remember it all from last time I was in the States)... They are now in Australia! I can't believe that a fake Australia restaurant created in America is now IN the country it's pretending to be.

Stunning.

Now, looking at their menu.

No damper (real Australian bush bread)
Hmmm, he goes off about beetroot not being on the burgers and he's right, actually, the menu is different in the Australia Outback steakhouse menu vs the America one... let's see:

US burger: A burger topped with Bloomin’ Onion® petals, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and our famous Bloom sauce.
AUS burger: A ridgy didge works burger, served with bacon, egg, cheese, beetroot, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion & Outback´s special BBQ sauce

So, in the US they get... um... an American burger, and in Australia they get an Australian burger.

WHAT IS THE POINT? If you're going to have a friggen themed restaurant, bloody well let people ACTUALLY EAT THE FOOD! I mean, why go to a place like that if you're just going to eat a US burger anyway? GEEZE... It's the standard US thing of 'oooh, better just give them what they're used to, don't want to shock them'.

It happens with books, movies, music, food, everything.

And I think it grossly undersells the actual people of the States. I'm sure the majority of you Americans would actually LIKE to try a real Australian burger... wouldn't you? Rather than just having yet another US burger with American cheese and everything you expect?
