As for self-names, if we aren't calling ourselves Candians, we're calling ourselves Canucks.
I have heard that before actually, it would be interesting to know the origin.

do ppl from france australia and shit kno where california's at on a map?
Yeah, California is hanging off the western side of the states isn't it? I could point it out on the map. I usually get confused with north and south America.

I used the label "redneck" mostly for the simplistic people who do drugs, smoke, and "party", and have random sex; who have simple jobs, use slang and/or cuss a lot, have a distate towards people who are not like them, don't do well in school/college, tend to fight everyone for stupid reasons when it's not at all necessary, hold grudges, etc. And, most importantly, a true redneck, when confronted with all the above as being "bad", uses his unique deranged logic to explain how all those things are actually good...
That's pretty much the exact stereotype I had in my head.

Thats just it though. A stereotype.

Anyway most Rednecks I know frown upon drugs, though we do love getting wasted...heheh... >.>

How the hell did I miss this thread? Haha, I love it. I'm an aussie too.

I still wanna know if there are rednecks in australia.
I'm still trying to grasp what a redneck actually is, but from what people have said: yes, I'd say we do have them. Except, I think we call them 'bogans'. Although 'bogan' seems closer to 'white trash' than redneck. Or maybe we just call them 'typical australians?' lol.

umm, I know its on the edge somewhere? near florida, perhaps? Is florida in the south east?
Woooo, look, we have states
Most people live on the south east side.
Some people call Victorians 'Mexicans' lol, because they like to think that Australia is America, and Mexico and Victoria are both in the south. But Victoria is actually a lot more like England. Its cold and rains all the time.
I live in Brisbane, which is near the gold coast. We have good beaches, the gold coast is famous for it (too famous, its way too crowded). I suppose you could relate it to Florida?

What do you guys call LPG?
I have always wanted to know that too! I read the answer to it as well.
Haha, petrol is a liquid, but they call it a Gas. And then they also call gas 'gas', how confusing.
Because over here you just take your lunch in a pissy little box and go and sit in a corner somewhere. We do have canteens but they mainly consist of a bearded woman in her mid 60's who sells microwaved sausage rolls and meat pies.
Hahha, that is so true. But those meat pies and sausage rolls are good. Except, what the hell, my school banned them (as well as softdrink) because they weren't healthy enough! Way to not be australian. Everyone was so pissed, they just went across the road to the BP station or Woolies to buy food lol.
Oohhh, I love Tim Tams. They are like a slightly more biscuity marsbar.
Lastly,
You guys don't really have that thing that shoots water up your arse do ya? Because that is just nasty......
I think the Asian countries have them the most out of everyone.
Cultural differences thread resurected.:necro::offtopic:
In my country there is a feeling that Americans are the biggest idiots on the face of the earth. Not my opinion mind you, it's just that you are viewed as pesky bastards that don't mind their own bussiness. Only recently (past year or so) has there been a rise in US popularity in my country. Perhaps because for once your government has begun acting favourably on macedonian politics.
Anyway, rednecks in my country are reffered to as seljaci. It's an abreviation of villagers, though I certainly wouldn't call those hardworking people rednecks. Simple perhaps and unrefined, but certainly not as the people that attain that meaning in your country.

The Barbarian is from Arreat, a very cold snowy mountain top, but they are much tougher than normal humans, so they don't need warmth.
Quote from "Archie" »
Where are Barbarians originally from? Sumeria, or more specifically Mesopotamia, AKA Europe. Think the Alps and the Pyrenees
Epic quotes... all of them

The etymology is unclear...:(
And how can you get confused with North and South America? North America is north and South America is south...?

BTW, Ayres Rock: is a massive rock in the middle of Australia. Its really random, it seems so out of place. http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/geology/grocha/monument/ayres.html
