Re: 135
Because although the Brits also use them, we tend to use them so much more...
Although strangely enough, I've never come across fellow Australians using them repeatedly in any non-Australian fandom... it could also be a case of young people in fandom unable to distinguish the linguistic particularities between Aus/UK/US due to overly large amount of primarily American, and part British programming which has caused hybridisation in daily colloquial slang and terms...
Makes me glad we told you to piss off when it came to FTA and you guys wanted full access to our media in order to overrun and eliminate local programming so you could brainwash us into following your American agenda. And in light of that you really should keep in mind that America's aggresive attempts at cultural imperialism in Australia have really got people's back's up, so it could be a case of people doing it on purpose just to make a point, or retain their Australian identity within fandom.
In any case, I would have thought you'd get more irritated over things like calling "flip-flops" thongs, "get drunk" get pissed (as opposed to angry)... those would be more noticeable and jarring than a few 'oi's, 'mate' and 'bloody's considering that such terms are worming themselves into slang through BBC America etc. That, and english is changing so fast nowdays, i don't think anyone is in a position to say unequivocally what is purely a Britishism, Australianism or Americanism.
Re: 135
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
When I was a young'in, EVERYONE in my region called "flip-flops" thongs. Only some time after THE THONG SONG did "thong" begin to refer exclusively to the undergarment. I don't know if it's because it sounds childish or because of the 2004 elections (hundreds of Republicans waving "flip-flops" in the air thinking it was clever) but I LOATHE the therm "flip-flop". It makes me feel like I must be old and crotchety.
It warms my heart that somewhere, they are still "thongs".
