An Unexpected Doobry
Shea the Sarcastic Posted Sep 18, 2003
Seeing as how I won't be near the edge of the Empire State Building myself, I can only guarantee that by tying us together. 
You know, I still have nightmares about the elevators in the Empire State Building ... they go too high and too fast for me! 
You wanna get together when you visit next year, Michele? We'll take you to an Outback Steakhouse!

Doesn't Outback call them "Bloomin' Onions"? They do in this neck of Pseudo-Australia.

You know...
Now I'm confused. But let's get to the really important point:
Do Aussies really use the term "fair-dinkums"?

Hmm ...
You can have the whole bloomin' onion to yourself!

I see nothing fair about dinkums. What the heck *is* that? Smuknid spelt backwards, that's what ... and I don't like the sound of it. I have no idea what they mean half the time with their fancy-schmantsy Aussie terminology.
The Aussies need to be stopped before we start talking 
too.

To answer your question - yes, Aussies do use the term "fair dinkum" (singular, not plural).
And you will be assimilated.......

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! We will resist.
You still didn't tell us what, if anything, a fair dinky is, ER.

Fair dinkum is an expression which, depending on how you use it, can mean many things.
As a question - Are you fair dinkum? (are you telling me the truth)
As a statement - Fair dinkum, he was riding big red around the paddock! (Without a word of a lie, he was riding a kangaroo aound the paddock)
But in general it relates, as you can tell, to honesty.

Thank you.
I like it.
But you won't catch me saying any Aussie phrases. I'm a Yank, through and through.

Wait a minute! You're trying to slip something past us here. How could that be an honest statement? Kangaroos cain't be rid.

I'm still trying to figure out this foot down thing.
There's a little hair on my foot, but I wouldn't
call it down.
