I don't see 'stiffy'. I did find 'pissed'. A friend of mine thought a girl was upset with him when she said she was pissed and he had no idea what he had done wrong.

Schmit, maaaate.....

Luckilly I have had prior experience with UFFs in the past. ;)
(Unidentified Flying Frypans)

As I walked in I went arse over tit on my ankle biters skateboard, this caused a helluva blue with me cursing & muttering 'bout why I ever had rug rats in the first place.

The old ball & chain confronted me at the portal to happiness and gave me the 3rd degree about the shindig with me gun budds.

Ah struth, talkabout getting aggro !
Whatsa a bloke s'posed to do when the better half wants his apricots strung out on the Hills Hoist for everyone to see?

Look luv I said, the fellas were just having a friendly pissup & I was apples because I wasn't throwing back any liquid amber at all.

So she grins & says it'll be bonza the next time some gallahs want to come over here, 'cause she'll invite their Sheilas along for the ride & make sure that it'll be drier than the Simpson desert in summer!

Aw crikey cobber, I think I shoulda jest stuck with getting whacked by the flippin' pan on the noggin rather than be strung out like a goanna on stick in front of me mates like that. :(
********
The above post bears no resemblace to truth or actual events OR the way we Aussies really talk.

Well maybe a small part does... ;)

As I posted in another thread regarding the Native American code senders....
They used their native language for messages & the Japs couldn't break the "code".
In the next dust up, Aussies should be used for important messages as even with the Aussie to English dictionary on hand, it's still a pigs breakfast to understand. ;)

HS, how does a Kiwi find sheep in tall grass? An Aussie told me that one a while back and I did not hear the answer. Bonzer.

PS - I am an All Blacks fan, but a Wallaby fan too. Good luck with the Bledisloe.
