[AccessD] On a lighter note

yes, As an Aussie, I have always found the line "We'll be rooting for you" (as in "we'll be supporting / cheering for you") rather unnerving.  and it brings some unsavoury images to mind!

oh well...  Another one is "Lush".  Lush to may Aussies is short for Lusicous or delicious.  Probably not such a good pick up line to approach a pretty girl in a US bar and say she is looking lush tonight.  aaah, we are so similar, yet so different with these things.

cheers
Darryl.

Here, now!  This is a family-friendly list, so keep it clean!!  I know
perfectly well what rooting means in Australia, but that's definitely
NOT what it means here!
