While we're at it, what does "root" mean in colloquial Australian-English? I heard it has a strange connotation.

It means to have sex. As in "We caught that New Zealander rooting the sheep again."

but in mockney whining slang strewth is pronounced "Strewf" just like bath is "barf" and moth is "moff" cos its pukka innit?

I wonder how Australians keep from LMAO-ing whenever they hear "Take Me Out To The Ball Game".

Let me root, root, root for the home team

so I should not keep telling my boy to stop rooting in his trousers?

Smiting? is that what you kids call them nowadays? whatever happened with "whapping" and "wet-trout slapping"?

Sat Aug 23, 2003 10:56 pm by freighter fighter

In accordance with the rules set out in the Quest For The Holy Grail videogame, you did not count in a silly manner so, the grenade does not go any where and explodes on you.
