What does the term " Iron lung" have to do with being an lazy ass at work? You notice that Aussie's are supposed to speak English but what comes out their mouths is goobly gook.
Actually, i thought it was "gobbledy gook" Anyway, i thought it was a universal joke, but obviously only Aussies are in on it In case you don't know, an iron lung is a machine that virtually breathes for you. The insinuation is that you are lazy to use an iron lung, so if "you wouldn't work in an iron lung", then you are even lazier. It's not exactly a compliment Another term used is "bone lazy", which i guess is not quite as insulting

Actually, the pronunciation of aboriginal names is quite logical; so much so that when you get the hang of it, you can accurately pronounce a name without ever hearing it uttered. Well, some of the time, at least
For example;
Indooroopilly - pronounced "Indra-pilly". Perfectly logical!
Woolloomooloo - pronounced "Woolla-mah-loo". See!
Walloobanbaningai - "Wulla-banba-nin-guy". A piece of piss!
Ozenkadnook - fvck knows!
Mugincoble - "Mah-jinka-bull". Eeeezy!
Goondoowindi - "Gunda-windy". Obvious.
Collarenebri - "Collar-renna-bry". How else?
Dumaresq - "Ja-merrick". How hard could that be?
Wagga Wagga - "Wogga Wogga". Simple.
Goonoo Goonoo - "Gunnah Gahnoo". Any fool could pick that one!
Murrurundi - "Murra-run-die". Who the hell was Murra??
Please note that the hyphens are short! It's just that the hyphens are longer than the rest of the word And one more rule - if you can't say the name within one second (regardless of the length of the name), then you're pronouncing it wrong!
Geez, i could go on all day! But hey, you think they're bad. You should hear some of New Zealand's place names! For example, any place starting with the letters "Wha" is pronounced "Fa". There is a place called "Whakapapa". You figure it out
Sorry I've been absent for so long. I went away for two weeks for the military and when I returned I found out that I was be laid off from my regular job. I've been searching like crazy to find a new job but I'm not having much luck.
Say, that's a nice city! Gee, this is a nice neck of the woods. And it's lovely to be here, thanks for asking
Turn 90, yes, 90!! to Arfur. You know, Paul Hogan once had an alter ego on his comedy show here in Oz, known as "Arfur Dunger", who went everywhere with an esky dressed in shorts and a singlet covering his ample beer gut, with thongs and a terry-towelling hat, with zinc cream on the nose and his lower lip permanently drooped. I wonder if this Arthur is anything like Arfur Dunger?
If you do, come to Australia and you'll get a job for sure!!
I shall check it tonight, swine!!!
