If I only had a brain...
Australians probably do grouse, too. Or did. That's why they're Australians now.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And what do the grouse do? Other grouse. No, wait, I remember: lekking.
Say it again, more softly: L-l-l-l-lekking.

Hello! I must be going.
"Was your grandma a whore,
Was your grandpa a thief,
Were they forgers and grafters who fell to their grief?
If you're born in Australia, I know who ye be
You're the son of a son of a scoundrel like meeee!"
I've only heard this sung in Maryland accents by a folk song group called Clam Chowder, so I don't know if it's a real song Down Under. But they like to use songs from the far reaches of the English-speaking world, so maybe it is.

Oh yeah, lek!
Half an hour to Buffy, my fellow East Coast Americans! Whatever you do, don't gloat! Nope, don't do it! Wouldn't be prudent!

No, Australians are grouse.
Only Melburnians.
("Grouse" is Melbourne slang for cool, excellent, ace, sick, etc.)
