The 'Like' Words - Language course for Aussie BBQ

ozziepost

G'day blokes and sheilas,

In the interest of world peace, we are presenting a course in strine as a service to our fellow worldlings. Study it well before the next Sydney BBQ.

Today's lesson is in phrases beginning with the word 'like', which are so necessary for descriptive language.

1. like a blue-arsed fly........in a frantic manner
2. like a lily on a dustbin.....lonely, neglected
3. like a pickpocket at a nudist camp...out of place,
out of one's element.
4. like a possum up a gumtree..supremely happy, in high spirits
5. like a shag on a rock......forlorn, lonely
6. like a stunned mullet.......bewildered, inert
7. like a two-bob watch........in an erratic or crazy manner
8. like billyo.................energetically, with great gusto
9. like the clappers...........very fast

We didn't get to 10 on the list today; treat it as a bonus. You get 10 points if you learn all 9.

Tomorrow: The 'Up' words

Mrs Ozzie and I checked out the location for the bbq today. It's beautiful! So if you haven't yet received the location and details, and you can make it on Sunday October 21st (you can, can't you?) send an e-mail to [email protected]

Cheers,
Ozzie

I'm about as far away from you as anyone can get (Seattle). However I'm going to give your e-mail to my daughter as she is in Sydney.

Also, since I cook on the grill about three-five nights a week, if you ever get in my neck of the woods, holler; we'll have a cook off.

Mrs Ozzie says she'd like a latte with you and we fancy a drive up that bloody old Hume Wighway.

Give us a call if ya free.

Cheers,
Ozzie

PS: Hey Jeff, nice to meet you! Wasasister's in Seattle (if you haven't met yet she's adorable ;) Your daughter would be in good hands with mr and mrs ozzie. (they're the only sane people this side of the Sydney harbour bridge .. but then again how could I tell?)

Gday fellow Ozzies.

Me mums goin to the 3 day brainwashing at the superdome. She's made her donation in advance for the bus trip. I told her to be real careful cos these religious fanatics are on the rampage damaging churches in Oz.

After she comes back I'll wanna know what great new revelations were made, What new book they launched and what new light came straight from Jehovah. Anything else I should ask her?

Geez Old Tom, your mum must be 105 or something .. she probably thinks she's lived forever already .. my Amy got a funny letter from grandma the other day .. apparently mum fell asleep during the book study .. young nephew said she snored a lot but no one was game to wake her up.. it wasn't made any better by the fact she was seatedd next to the conductor .. LOL how symbolic ..

cheers cobbler

Prisca

G'day Brucey-boy,

How ya goin, ya big ole galah?

Yeah, I seem to have a clothing problem for the DC tomorrow. See, the old fogie elders don't like me turning up in me leather gear. They say stuff like it's not theocratic-like, but me boyfriends down at the local watering hole get pretty religious when they see me in my get-up, not to mention when them and me..... ah, never mind, you get the drift

Anyways, good to see you back in the big smoke again - are ya coming over for the big bash next week?

ozziepost

G'day youse lot. Can't ya let a guy sleep. You're all speaking at once!

JeffT; Please let your daughter know she'd be most welcome at the bbq. Tell her we're not nearly so intimidating as we may seem. Well....OK... we're probably more so!!

Prisca: Don't worry, you don't have to get a special outfit for Sunday!

Unc: I'm gonna sound like an echo, but are ya gonna be able to make it for the bash? Hope so, you old bastard. If not, we could meet up at the same place as last time, or.....
Ring me. If you don't I'll ring you, and that's a threat! LOL

OT: I hadn't heard they were getting a bus this year. Who's organising it? Surely not YT? Ya there, YT?

Cheers,
Ozzie
