> > > Why bother with Redneck talk? Heck, I don't even know what a Redneck is. What YOU should go do, Sue, is try talking back to him in hot Aussie slang or, better yet, in hot NEW ZEALANDER TALK. That's the ticket! There are plenty of websites dedicated to Down Under slang, so go on and get cracking. Man, that oughta get Dave's ticker primed.

Nevertheless, how do you explain your peculiar NZ vocab containing so many usefully heart-warming idioms for people, such as 'manky' and 'berko' and 'aggro,' or the particular sailor's argot containing slang terms like 'boatie' and 'Coastie'... eh?

No, no, you don't get it. Those aren't weird slang terms. They're perfectly normal standard English. The problem is with the rest of the world for not using them too. ;-)
