I have some Friends who are now in Australia. I have been noticing that the slang they use when commenting on my status, wall posts or pictures just annoys me.Some of the examples maybe  "Good on you" instead of Good for you "mate" instead of dude etc. etc. Its not that i dunt like my frens. Its just the words not even the grammar. Again, is it only me who feels this way? Last edited: 03-Aug-10 05:48 PM

I think it's only you bro, because If you are in Rome be Romans bhanchan ni.. Exatcly the same thing. Since you're in U.S thats why you like yourself to be called dude but in Aussies they called mate for dude..It's no big of a deal, just avoid it and let it go...

"Good on you" is not a bad grammer. Example: "These jammies look good on you." Clothes or anything you put on your body should have "on." As far as mate is concerned, they might be pissed that u use "dude" ....homie!!

No worries, mate.  I reckon yuh are one snag short of a barbie.  Few kangaroos loose in your top paddock, yeah?

I too reckon that this bloke here is just whinging like an ankle biter. Honest to Goodness, Mate, he's got way more than a few Kangaroos loose in the top paddock...

There is no reason to be steamed up. Its just an opinion. No wonder your IQs are below average in the world. What a windbag!Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... File:AverageIQ-Map-World.png Last edited: 04-Aug-10 02:06 PM
