CichlidFish.com - Fish That Think.

Gotta say to anyone that understands, the aussies are kickin ass on the poms, we are just to good. Its almost boring.

....

Not wrong there mate
See Mcgraths wonder catch? That was a classic LOL

The pommy captain said that they might as well go home as Australia is just too good.

hey some of us don't speak "Australian", who the heck are the pommies?

hey some of us don't speak "Australian", who the heck are the pommies?

Thought I was the only one wondering that

Pommies,poms,pom etc is just a name we give the English people of Britain. Some poms do not like the name and take offence at it, we call them Whinging Poms

Its all in good fun LOL.

you knoe wut i think is funny?....steve irwin...the croc. hunter guy.....his accent cracks me up every time i watch his show....

my cousin lives in australia...and when he visitted us in the US....he think our accent is extremely weird.....lol... but isnt the american accent (california) the in standard english?

btw....do any of you aussie guys ever greet people w/ "wut's up?"....lol or is it always g'day?

Steve Irwin?? Oh you mean the Crocodile Wanker er hunter

Yeah its pretty much G`day. I dont think Ive ever been greeted with "Wassup"(except in the CF and WC chat rooms) its either G`day,howzit going mate or sometimes a plain Hello.

Ive spoken to some californians(In voice chat on Paltalk) who claim they dont have an accent but while there accents are not as strong as southerners etc they still have one lol.

That catch, gotta agree for a tall guy hes done damn well, classic catch as Ritchie would say.

Yeah most aussies honestly say g'day to greet someone, g'day mate something along those lines.

hahahaha speak for yourselves! i often greet people with WAZZZZUUUUPPPP!!!!!! as for the californian accent being the "standard" accent, i would have thought that the well-spoken english accent was the "standard" accent - they invented the language, after all

but isnt the american accent (california) the in standard english?

ummm whats an american accent? (or greet)
kentucky - howdy yall
california -hey dude,whats up dude -except compton,probally changes daily
texas - howdy partner
ohio - hi (we're plain and boring)
louisana = ?? I couldn't understand alot of it
Michigan(well detroit) what up g'
michigan (where older canadians hang out )- AE
Florida = (ok,miami) wut up dog

and those aren't even the same for every person,just some examples of people I know.Drive from California to Ohio and see how many "american accents" you come across. here "most " californians sound the same as most ohioans do but inbetween WOW

but,do all Californians say Whats up du(long u)de ?:rolleyes:

Well you are from Melbourne in the state of Victoria, so we will make an exception for you

Hahah, yea Dovii but I think we were referring to how you greet people BEFORE downing several Fosters!

meng...over here in california...we have all different kinds of greetings..... the language is easy to understand...cus its universal =]

its like that because the people living here are so diverse....we have many asians and mexicans...so everyone speaks so differently...that they all become one standard accent....pretty weird.

i said "g'day mate" to my teacher at school today and she said i was a weirdo....lol

Actually cichlidfish if my memory serves me correctly dovii drinks carlton draught, lmao
