"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.
Trudy, you need to take a time out after that one.
OK, so, why were people being deported for sheep shaggage in the first place? What is the policy behind that? That's so incredibly inefficient! For goodness' sake, the Kinsey report on American sexual attitudes in the 1940s reported something like 25% of men having experienced bestiality (almost all were farmboys unaware of the social taboo)-- so I assume (on no evidence whatsoever) that maybe the rates of incidence were similar in other rural environments...that's a lot of "criminal" activity.
Not that I really want to get into a discussion of the relative merits of animal sex. I'm thinking about legislative policy. I think.
