Perhaps it wold be better to describe QLD. as the mostVeloFlash said:Nice and warm to hot in Rockhampton this time of year (our winter). The Aussie Olympic track cycling squad is currently training there to simulate the Athens hot climate.
Rockhampton is in Queensland which is also our red neck state. Ultra conservative. You turn your clocks back 20 years when you cross the border. They refuse to adjust for daylight saving (they claim it affects the dairy cows milking and the extra hour of sunlight accelerates the fading of curtains and paintwork).
You had better ask your friend, if a local, if they are married to their sibling
polarised state.There is certainly a very vigorous opposition to the sort of place you describe.
Couldn't marry a girl with seven toes,no matter how close we were as kids!

He wasn't having a go at you, more like having a go at how we speak.davidmc said:Why the derogatory reference
Try saying "American" while holding your mouth almost closed without your lips moving (to keep the flies and dust out). Reduce it to the minimum number of syllables - try 2 syllables. "American" becomes " 'merican" which becomes "'mercan" which is re-spelled "merkin".
That the word "merkin" has another meaning which has some connection to matters sexual is but a bonus to people who have a robust and occasionally ribald sense of humour.
The alternative, of course, is "Septic" or "Septic Tank" which rhymes with "Yank", and which, in all the circumstances, is probably worse than being a merkin.

Thats the reference that some America haters on the soapbox have used in the past. I do envy you fellows in that, according to a quote from an australian, "We (australians) were lucky, we got the convicts & you (Americans) got the religious fundamentalist'sSteveA said:
