Australians probably do grouse, too. Or did. That's why they're Australians now.
Simon: I, uh... I never-never shot anyone before. Book: I was there, son. I'm fair sure you haven't shot anyone yet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
No, no grouse is what curmudgeons do.
And what do the grouse do? Other grouse. No, wait, I remember: lekking.
Say it again, more softly: L-l-l-l-lekking.

No, Australians are grouse. Bonza even.

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.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Maybe the whole "sheep boffing" thing is a misunderstanding.
You know, your ancestors were running from the law, they were arrested, and on whatever paperwork the police described them as being "on the lam".
