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.
Australians probably do grouse, too. Or did. That's why they're Australians now.
No, Australians are grouse. Bonza even.
L-l-l-l-lekking.
A little bit louder now!

A little bit softer now!

"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.)
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".
Actually, my ancestors were free settlers and never boffed a sheep in their lives.
Just so we're clear.
