Is Ramzan a Kiwi?

fwdoz · Guru

An Aussie was visiting NZ & asked a sheep farmer, how do you shear your sheep? The farmer replied, I dont shear my sheep with anyone.

peter67 · Guru

Oh this is going to be good. What's the similarity between an aussie and a computer, none. You have to punch information in to both of them.

67HR · Senior Member

That joke bought this to mind.

fwdoz · Guru

How do you know if a Kiwi has hacked your computer?

The RAM is screwed

----------

What does a kiwi guy use as aftershave?

mint sauce

----------

What do you call a kiwi sheep dog?
A pimp

---------

Have you spent years trying and failing to understand what New Zealanders are saying?

Just by following these easy steps and you too can hold a conversation with a New Zealander.

What you hear and what it really means:

BETTING : "Betting Gloves" are worn by betsmen in crucket.

BRIST : Part of the human anatomy between the "nick" and the "billy"

BUGGER : As in "mine is bugger than yours".

BUN BUTTUN - been bitten by insect

BUG HUT - popular recording

CHULLY BUN : Also known as an Esky

DIMMER KRETZ : Those who believe in democracy.

ERROR BUCK : Language spoken in countries like "Surria", E-Jupp" and "Libernon".

EKKA DYMOCKS : University staff

GUESS : Flammable vapour used in stoves.

LEATHER - foam from soap

SENDLES : Thongs, open shoes

COLOUR : Terminator, murderer.

CUSS : Kiss

DUCK HID : Term of abuse directed mainly at males.

PHAR LAP : NZ's famous horse which was actually christened "PHILLIP".

ERROR ROUTE : As in "Arnotts mulk error route buskets".

FITTER CHENEY : A type of long flat pasta not to be confused with "rugger tony".

PISSED aside - chemical that kills insects

PIGS - for hanging out washing

PUGS - pink animal with curly tail

Ah well, back to sheep shagging...

Ben Taxyl · Member

Don't quite follow this. There has always been many more sheep in Australia than in New Zealand. A bit racist perhaps?

peter67 · Guru

Aaagh, a whiff of the woke mind virus that destroys it's host.

A woke perception of racism.

The ratio between sheep to population is quite different between the two countries.

Just like the Foreign Legion and camel ratios.

Why do Aussie sheilas wear high heals?

To stop their knuckles dragging on the ground.

There, we're now even!
Over & out.

Over & out.

Cannot have this, its either over to expect a reply, or out transmission is finished.

I too, mentally cringe when I see that.

Takes me back to CMF days ..

Always start a transmission with "This is .+. call sign" .... "This is" alerts the recipient before the message starts. More useless trivia that sticks in the greymatter.

Just like "Cease Fire" Should be "Cease Fire ING" Cease fire is end of hostilities. Cease firing means stop shooting.

That is incorrect. The originator of the radio communication (only) has the option to signal/advise "out" - It is usual for a message to enquire or order at start, respondent/s answer and finish their reply with "over", the originator may just acknowledge or provide further information. The originator of the message has the option to either extend utilising "over", after their response or finish message with over and out.

Things must have changed in the 1/2 century since I left the CMF. Mind you, my experience was as a Field Artillery Signaller, not a full time signaller.

If your assertion that the originator of the exchange has the option to finish the communication is correct, then I would have thought that their response to do so would be by saying 'roger that, out' or similar, never 'over and out'

Marine rescue never has over and out.

Are We Lost · Guru

Agree.

From that link it explains why it makes sense NOT to use it "over means you want a reply and out means you do not expect a reply".

In the radio licensing course I went to, the instructor said those using the term were referred to in the radio room as "TV watchers".

Roger that out

Possum3 · Guru

It is correct to say "Roger" denoting I have understood message/order, "Out" Denoting I am finishing this message/conversation. The "Over" is redundant but is mainly used as a courtesy/habit.
