Just a curious question for the Aussies.

Up here in the Northern Hemisphere we refer to Aussies as "the Land Down Under".

Do you refer to us as "Up Over"?????

No, we just say Europe, Asia, North America etc

I thought the earth was flat up there? No under, no over. Just flat. Although I am curious to know what lies underneath. :wink2:>

Rhyming slang is a feature of Australian vernacular, inherited from the Cockneys that came (or were sent) here years ago I believe. So I'm afraid "Yanks" are known as "Septic Tanks" here.
