"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm so glad that this goolie/goolies thing has been mentioned, because every time a girl Buffista refers to her 'goolie' I ask myself if this is special Buffista slang, or if it's a US thing. 'Cause it means 'bollock' in English, ie 'ball', ie 'testicle', and is thus generally just referred to in the plural.
And yes, in English English, 'fanny' = 'pussy', only not such a crass term.
Yay! Go Team Wombles!

I don't know the tune for that and I'm listening to a...I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but there's a song with a mariachi band in it...but I can make the lyrics fit so it's interesting.

Entirely random question: On that Aussie in America site, there are several mentions of pizza with egg. What sort of egg is this? The two possibilities I've come up with are fried or a sliced hard boiled egg, but I could be completely off base.

Hil, I don't think I've ever had pizza with egg in my life, but my guess would be they're trying to replicate the traditional Australian hamburger, in which case it would be a fried egg.

Interesting Angus. The traditional Australian hamburger is also a traditional Oregonian hamburger. One local chain pub refers to it as the "Wilbur".

If sliced beetroot = one very thin slice of pickled beet - not unknown.

Interesting. I'm trying to figure out what fried egg on pizza or burgers would taste like. Is beetroot what we'd call beets? Because I have beet issues, probably due to being fed borsht at an impressionable age.
