What is the greatest Australian quote of all time?

After Australia II won the America's Cup in 1983, Bob Hawke famously said at Royal Perth Yacht Club: "Any boss who sacks a worker for not turning up today is a bum."

Ladies and gentlemen, well may we say "God Save the Queen", because nothing will save the Governor-General - Original Goth

Probably born in Australia but identifies as Greek or something because his grandfather was 1/4 Greek. Either that or he's a pom.

Inspired from a place in the Gong.

Dapto wasn't it? :?

To be fair, it's a fairly accurate description of any station west of Parramatta, a few on the Bankstown line, and a few on the Airport/East Hills line between Glenfield & Macarthur. :lol:

When I was younger I had a girlfriend that lived in Ingleburn. Had to train it out there. First time I saw a ~10 year old kid smoking was in the carpark at the shopping centre right near the station. His dad handed him the lighter and saw that I was watching. Proceeded to ask me "what the fuck are you looking at?".

"He's a shiver waiting for a spine" - Paul Keating to John Hewson

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

Yep, part of the Gong.


But yeah could realistically be many places unfortunately.

I always thought it was funny when Jodie Henry won the gold medal at Athens.
When she was interviewed she said "I'm buggered" which was televised around around the world and means f*cked up the arse in North America

Means that here too mate :lol:

The protection of her image against even her own better judgement began on the night of her Sydney triumph, when Channel Seven purged from its coverage a heartfelt remark about how she had never seen her brothers happier, "and they're not even drunk". Sometimes she looked like what she was least meant to be, a puppet. As Cathy laboured, a Cathy industry grew. Even yesterday, half the talk was not about what she might do, but what she might make, as if her worth ever could be measured in dollars.

Nah, she went to my high school. Means "rooted" , nothing sexual. =p~

I can clearly remember being a kid and asking my dad "Dad, what does bugger mean?" after hearing someone on TV say it. Awkward segway into learning about homosexual sex for the first time.

It would have been worse if you started using the expression "bugger me" after that.

Ive never heard bugger used in a sexual way.

did grow up in the 60's ?

I agree. Growing up in conservative Queensland they didn't exactly teach us every word in the dictionary...
Why would they teach us what every word means?

He was born in 57.

Just reading urban dictionary's entry for it, and it says among other things



Going back further, the word comes from the Old French bougrerie which means "heretic" and then went on to mean "unnatural sex" with either another human or an animal.

Buggered has always meant tired/spent in Australia. You can see how though, "I'm fucked" is a pretty common way of saying you're tired/exhausted here.

That's why I wrote the quote because in North America it only means anal.

That reminds me of the old Steve Hughes joke
