Things Australians Say Wrong #2

When I was in elementary school, I remember something my English teacher told the class. She said that you can learn alot about a culture that uses a particular language if you notice how many different words they have for a singular concept. Specifically, languages spoken commonly by Eskimos are said to contain an extraordinary amount of words just for snow in it's various forms and situations. This was said to represent how important snow's presence was in their culture.
(However, upon further investigation for this update, this information all came from a hoax report made by some lazy linguistic. Check your sources next time, bbbitch)

Why did I introduce today's installment of Things Australians Say Wrong like this?

Because Australians have about 1,000 different words for being drunk.
'Maggot'
'Legless'
'Shickered'
'Pissed'

The list goes on for miles.

Surely, if the same rules apply as they supposedly did for the Eskimos, this doesn't mean that Australian culture is centered on fire water?

Lets review the photographic evidence from last night's St. Patty's celebration for a conclusion.


Conclusion: Australians are all drunk bastards. But that's why I love them :(
