G'day from Oz

Welcome Aussie. Nice to meet you. :) I'm a Kiwi.

Tell us something about yourself. I'm all ears.
 
Welcome to Lit.

Explore, engage and contribute.

Other than that, enjoy your stay.
 
Hey, since you're from Oz, I've been wondering...did they ever get that house off that poor old witch, or did they leave it and just re-zone the district around it?
 
everyone knows the lullaby league took it over. at least until the recession hit. now it's just another brothel. poor munchkinland, but, hey, what do you expect from a country that spends millions a year on plant shellacking?
 
Come out. Come out. Wherever you are. :D

If we lose this one to the playground I will be mad.
Unless he is a ning nong. ;)

nice word. drop two n's and it's a racial slur.

Good catch. My eyes read that immediately.

Betting it's just a international phonetic corruption of the old term "ding dong" here in the States. Because Debbie wouldn't swing that way.

Oh. It is a word that my Uncle used to call us when we did silly things as kids.

a foolish, incompetent person.

You're a newbie. Have you been lurking?

Been lurking here on and off for a while. Re the states, have an itinerary, just planes to catch and places to stay, apart from that I'll look after the entertainment, or more to the point look for someone to help me :nana:

Welcome ex lurker. :) This place is definitely unique and full of interesting
people.

Good luck with your travel plans. There are some amazing places to go in America.

There are a couple of Aussies here who have moved to America or are in the
process of doing so.
 
Hopefully more of the Aussies will pop in today and give you a warm welcome. Or a fuck off depending what mood they're in. :D

Thanks for the welcome all,

re ning nong, used to hear the expression a bit such as "he's a bloody nong that bloke", others would say "look at that ning nong" eg: "look at that ning nong, couldn't drive a rabbit down a burrow that fella, let alone a car". Not heard in the vernacular much nowadays, more so from the old timers, unfortunately slang isn't as common today
