Australian...
You know your Australian when- You believe that stubbies can either be worn or drunk. You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-Bin'. You believe that the letter 'I' in Australia is optional and t's perfectly ok to call it 'Straya'. You think 'Wooloomooloo' and 'Yackandandah' are perfectly reasonable names for a place. You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. You believe it makes perfect sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as a $2 coin. You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga', but 'Woy Woy' cannot just be 'Woy'! Beet root with your hamburger, Of course! You wear Ugg boots outside the house. You believe the more you shorten someone's name, means the more you like them. You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, but 'scuse me' is always polite. You know what it's like to swallow a fly on occasion via your nose. You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in "O", arvo, convo, Garbo, lezzo, metho, milko, muso, servo, rego, speedo, righto, etc.You know there is a universal place called 'Woop Woop', located in the middle of nowhere, no matter where you actually are! And you understand all of this, had a giggle and tell all your Aussie and international friends, I Love Australia!!"
