Cussing or cursing?


Oh no, Australians are now cursing/cussing in American. Where is the Australian identity?

"Google, where headquarters of f***ing FIBA is. It's a f***ing disgrace . . . Cheating ass motherf***ers," Bogut yelled, as he headed towards the dressing room.

Dorian"my main man" we are rapidly becoming Americanised mate. I have long held fears for the language which has "gotten" much worse of late. Tv is saturated with American rubbish, cannot make a film without a bloody gun in it not to mention the channels here who consistently turn out mind blowing crap ie The Batchelor, Married st first sight, and the rest of that ilk. The great dumbing down of the Aussie viewers. Thank goodness that the Poms can still make good programmes.

However it must be said that, if there were no viewers would they still make these crap shows???????

End of rant, over to you Mr Starter.

Are you referring to what I call "The Yankification of the Nation"? If so it has been going on for decades and is now reaching a crescendo.
I believe personally that it began with calling Peanut Paste which the product truly is, Peanut Butter.
Now I shall duck and watch.

'Tanks Dougwe, yep it's a might big for my "Aluminum" "Rrrrrrr Vvvvv", but we mostly use "Trailer Trash" "Parks" to over night and so will have plenty of "Boon Dock" spots to hide in when the flack happens.
Hm! Just thought I should use Duck, Duck, Go to do my searching!
