2nd spectacularly dazzling question of this thread: when people write "(sic)", what does that mean? Jon Sagara Sagara Software

Whats that word "bounblockquoteess" ??? Doesn't pass my spell checker, in the Thesaurus it comes up with "bottle up" Does that mean "bring your own grog, you bludger" ? There's some good aussie stuff here http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html
Dunno what happened there, but it's boundless. I note the assumption in the lyric that immigrants are from the UK.... For a look at real Aussie culture, check out http://www.geocities.com/topaussieguide/. Christian As I learn the innermost secrets of the around me, they reward me in many ways to keep quiet. Men with pierced ears are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought Jewellery.

It means you know someone has not expressed themselves properly ( spelling or gramattical error usually ) but you're quoting them directly.

Sic in this case is an adverb that means that the previous word/phrase was written intentionally so. The word may in fact be misspelled or used incorrectly but is being quoted "as is". In my case, I didn't know if the title was correct but that was the way I'd always seen it. Hope that helps.

That the spelling or grammar mistakes are there on purpose as generally they are being quoted from somebody else. Don't know what sic actually means though.

This is Australia's addition to cuisine's of the world. The greatest thing known to man and especially good on toast for breakfast. Some wussy Australian's (Christian) and most of the rest of the world just don't have the balls to eat something as strong as this. Also it is made from the leftover goodness from the beer making process, good old Australian ingenuity, don't let anything go to waste.

<Homer Simpson> Mmmm...left over beer sludge...sacrilicious... </Homer Simpson> I urge everyone to grab a jar of vegemite, toast some bread, spread a wee bit of butter, a good cover of that black, gooey Food of the Gods, add a couple of thin slices of tomato, sprinkle with a bit of black pepper, and enjoy. I then dare anybody to look me in the eye and tell me that isn't the best thing they have ever tasted. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Sounds good! I like sardines in tomato sauce on toast, or coon and vegemite grilled, tomatos go ok with that.

What in Pete's name is Vegemite? Jon Sagara Sagara Software
Vile tasting black sludge that some Aussies 'enjoy' based on a tolerance they developed during childhood. My wife eats it, and I go off if she leave the jar open, it stinks out the whole kitchen. Imagine the food value of Hundreds & Thousands, and the colour, taste and consistency of sump oil.

Chris what's doing with the tomato on vegemite ... That is sacriligeous. Did anyone else as a kid take a big scoop out of the jar with a spoon and eat it by it's self?

Definitely not, a cure for cancer and the world's ill's maybe, but not a cause. We will have to try and get a jar over there for savages to try. When are you going over next Chris?

All of this vitriol from a man with so little sense as to move to Tasmania. Don't make me start the Tasmanian jokes with your anti-Vegemite sentiments.

Is that if called by Senator Harradine or anyone? Now that is a great Tasmanian joke, but it was probably so subtle your Tasmanian addled brain missed it.

To be honest, I don't think much of him myself. But you've got the Rev. Fred Nile, so we're even. But the fact remains that there are parts of Sydney the police & ambos will not go after dark.

Did anyone else as a kid take a big scoop out of the jar with a spoon and eat it by it's self? Urgh !! Even my wife tells me often when making it for the kids the point is to put only a little on. Calvin will still not eat it unless it's a tiny amount, but she's gradually training him up to like the junk.
