nothing about a life-long sexual partner?
Nobody wants that kind of commitment
butthurt much? im sure u wanted that first, try again next time!
As a “Pom” I take particular disrespect at being called “Whingin’.” First; We are WINNING the ashes series 1-0. And Two, the shortening of the word was unnesescary.
As an australian, I agree with the maker of this graph and DepRac- you are a whinging pom because you were whining about being a whinging pom
Aye, but this guy’s problem is that he think “Britain” means “England”. A popular misconception among the mentally challenged of the world.
Scots and Irish are the whingingest most self-important of them all!
yeah, right. And you’re over here whinging your face off when your’e not the “Taswegian” I’m just thrilled to be known as.
Percentage of people who call you ‘mate’: 5%
Percentage of people who call you ‘a racist, Australian arsehole’: 95%
Epic convict fail
mentally challenged of the world……….. you could have just said americans, we really are insanely stupid.

And some people just can’t read. The creator said “People who call ME mate”. I’m sure he’s rarely called mate in the sense of one of two gloves…
Preach it!!!
WIN!
Why is it ok to be racist towards the british? iIm asking seriously, someone raised the question on qi, and i was just wondering if anyone had an opinion. Pretty funny chart; i’m australian, though not a lot of people I know say mate. Buddy I get a bit. I say buddy to adults and mate to kids. I’m just rambling, sorry. Ta!
it’s not. i thought about it too, but meh… there always be some kind of hate one way or another. no point sweating about it… it’s GJ after all, trying to reason with people on here proves to be as effective as asking a rock to be soft most of the time.
good response
Because Brits are considered privileged and powerful, not an oppressed minority.
bwhahahaha!
sorry, just the idea of (any sort of majority of) the British being “privileged and powerful”.
What a very entitled thing to say!
Obviously you haven’t been to any developing country, then.
Ha! We ARE a developing country. We’re trying to develop the nerve to kick out the illegal immigrants who are screwing up the country. To do that, we need to develop the guts to destroy Parliament and replace it with people who actually give a toss about Britain.
I also second the “Why is it not racist if it’s against the British?” Not regarding this graph, but just the world in general. if a white British man insults a Pakistani ZOMG RACIST! But if it’s the other way around the reaction is ‘It’s just a harmless joke.’ Equality FTW?
Lol Britain is a crap country anyway.
coming from a true Brit, i should know.
Well you must be the original stupid pommie bastard stand on your own people&be proud
Privileged and powerful? Wow… you’re looking either at the wrong country mate or the wrong era. Perhaps you were aiming for America? Or maybe the days of the British Empire.
You KNOB.
Because Brits are pretty much responsible for most of the armed conflicts in most of the undeveloped world. Brits should actually be happy that the Americans came along.
Yeah, uncanny how the Americans solved all those conflicts, didn’t supply arms and weren’t instrumental in establishing those conflicts with Britain in the first place…
But we saved your asses in World War III
World War III?
Yes, and WWIV and V as well.
+300 points for predicting a highly unlikely outcome. (The United States of America loses, sorta, WWIII and succeeds in hardly getting involved in the Fourth, which is mainly a Eurasia-African affair.)
Well you certainly saved our sport entertainment with WWE!
prophesizing ftw!
The Brits colonized America. U think u invented the language and everything.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
*wipes tears of laughter away*
Aaah. Oh wait you weren’t kidding? Shame, it would have made a good joke. Especially with the history of the US funding the IRA and continuing to trade with the Nazis well into the second world war.
There are so many things wrong with your statement. Noone claims the UK doesn’t have it’s shady past. It’s just that the rest of the Western world sure seems to be in a hurry to forget their own when they bring their hatred to the UKs door. Why YES, France and America, I AM looking at you.
Considering that the British and (non-Aboriginal)Australians are the same race, I’m not sure it’s appropriate to call this racism. I’m sure the American perception that all Aussies say “mate” frequently is Steve Irwin’s legacy. I’d like to see this graph’s author do one on the use of “crikey.”
Last I checked… British was not a ‘race’.
So what are the ‘races’ in humans then?
Races are ethnicities- such as Asian, Caucasian, African, etc. You are confusing race with nationality- such as Canadian, British, Australian, Indian…
Actually race and ethnicity are two completely different things.
Race-Black, White, Asian, Native American, etc.
Ethnicity-Is your cultural background i.e. Non-Hispanic/Latino, or Hispanic/Latino
Well, biologically, race is a pretty arguable concept on the whole.
True, but nationality is not, being as its a matter of paper work, sorta like a drivers license.
Anthropologists long ago discovered that humans’ physical traits vary gradually, with groups that are close geographic neighbors being more similar than groups that are geographically separated. This pattern of variation, known as clinal variation, is also observed for many alleles that vary from one human group to another. Another observation is that traits or alleles that vary from one group to another do not vary at the same rate. This pattern is referred to as nonconcordant variation. Because the variation of physical traits is clinal and nonconcordant, anthropologists of the late 19th and early 20th centuries discovered that the more traits and the more human groups they measured, the fewer discrete differences they observed among races and the more categories they had to create to classify human beings. The number of races observed expanded to the 30s and 50s, and eventually anthropologists concluded that there were no discrete races (Marks, 2002). Twentieth and 21st century biomedical researchers have discovered this same feature when evaluating human variation at the level of alleles and allele frequencies. Nature has not created four or five distinct, nonoverlapping genetic groups of people.
My philosophy prof at University had this theory that races were “created” to justify killing, conquering, and enslaving other people in a Judeo-Christian ethic. As in “We’re Christians – we can’t kill people.” “Well, maybe they’re not the same kind of people as us.” “Oh, okay – let’s go get ‘em!”
It’s not just a Christian concept, by-the-way. Look at the radical Muslims, for instance. Also, it wasn’t an original theory your professor had.
So this response is full of fascinating information, but for us laymen, will you please spell it out in plainer English? Thank you.
This is really interesting! And really underlines how nationality and race as concepts are so groundless scientifically.
There was some research a while back that discovered that there is more genetic diversity in small group of gorillas than there is in the entire human race.
I thought it was the HUMAN race.
‘British’ is not a race, but that point aside – it could be because the British tossed a bunch of criminals on an island and BAM! Australia. So they kinda have the ability to get away with that kinda thing, lol.
Much different than what happened during the British colonization of America.
Are you being sarcastic? Because, from where I’m sitting, it was different. Please explain yourself, since you’re such a famous historian and all. Thank you.
Yes, I am being sarcastic. Obviously.
And it is a Monty Python reference. Look it up.
You’re welcome.
Ah, ok. Cool. Yeah, I guess it’s been a while since I’ve watched any Monty Python. Love them, though.
Marathon is a race
LMAO!
I always thought the Australia/Britain thing is a bit more like warring siblings, we’re so similar at times we fight to make distance. Deep down we understand beer and sport and share a general dislike of the Americans
Disclosure: I’m British
Really? I thought Australians and Americans were united by our common disdain for the British bastards that screwed us both over. Although maybe they’ve never forgiven us for Crocodile Dundee. I could hardly blame them for that.
(Please note that I don’t actually hate the British.)
Rofl, hardly. Americans left by choice, we Aussies were chucked out… yet we seem to harbour less resentment!
It’s weird, but I’ve noticed something with news coverage of natural disasters. America – looting, killing, everyone grabbing everything for themselves. Aussies, on the other hand, band together and help everyone out. But we’re the ones descended from crims! Even I’ve got a bushranger in my ancestry.
(BTW he was crap, and apparently got killed really quickly, but hey)
That’s the problem with news coverage. I am not denying the fact that looting has gone, does, and will go on, but we help each other out, too. It just doesn’t make for an exciting story with good ratings.
as long as theres good money to be made
right, exactly the problem
i dont get why anyone hates anyone, its not like the people alive now actually did anything to eachother. it was generations ago so why does anyone care, also if you go back far enough we are all from the group of humans anyway so everyone at some point has screwed everyone else over if you are using ‘we’ to describe you and every australian who has ever lived.
i thought the Australians liked us Brits. Obviously not.
We love youse guys. Seriously, though, I like the Brits I meet – and let’s not have a new level of feuding starting by something someone read in the comments section of a site about funny graphs
.
yeah, we Aussies always complain about the pommy bastards, but really, they hate America as much as we do (which is an absolute s*it load), and we respect them for that
and we do all like getting off our faces haha
way i see it, England is like the older sibling who pays out Australia who is the middle sibling and New Zealand is the baby of the family, which the middle child always pays out.
Aussies always pay out the Kiwis *insert joke about sheep* but as soon as any other country pays them out, Australians will jump to thier defense, i have seen this on countless occasions, its halerious watching sepo (Septic tank = Yank) made jokes about kiwis fall flat while Aussies death glare them haha!
DAMN STARIGHT, i have a 2 kiwi mates, and if anyone bags on them, i shut them down, but im the first to make the sheep jokes
Because British people as a whole are the biggest snobs on the face of this earth. There are exceptions but they don’t change the rule.
thats a stereotype. i hate tea. and i dont talk wiv posh accent.
what about ze french?
Excuse me, have you met every single british person on this earth? No? didn’t think so, so keep your mouth shut, moron
hehe. You make me laugh with your ignorance. I believe you are thinking of the stereotypical ENGLISH PERSON, when British actually means someone from Britain (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are there too you know). You find me a Scottish Snob. Besides, the British essentially built the western world, so they’re allowed a little bit of snobbery towards the underclass =P
Have you BEEN to Liverpool???
FS! I wish people would stop referring to England as Britain!
racist? nooo …. culturalist? … maybe….
but like my fellow Italian Australians and Greek Australians have co-opted the “wog” word, most English here are self described “Poms” “whinging poms” and “pommy bastards”….
I’m left feeling underprivileged that, as a 3rd generation Australian, the only cultural epithet I’ve ever had thrown at me was “skippy” … and, lets face it, as epithets go “skippy” is pretty lame… “ocka” and “aussie” don’t really count as they are ockaisms themselves.
Its ok for australians to be racist to the english in teh same sense that chris brown can be racist to black people. Australians are part of the commonwealth and the queen rules our country almost equivalently to the way she rules over there. therefore, we are one and the same, therefore making it ok for aussies to occasionally be ‘racist’ to the english.
kthnxbye!
They’re not a different ethnic group. The Brits. I mean, most of us, Brits, Nordics, Germans, Americans, Australians have the same genetic make up (or whatever it’s called.) So, how can it be racist of an Australian to comment on the British people?
Also, it has nothing to do with race at all.
Don’t mix things up.
notice how the graph said WHINGING poms? you just proved his point. take a joke mate, this sort of “racism” has been a joke between the poms and aussies for ages.
Stop whinging, mate!
Where’s the slice of pie for “Americans that just happen to use the word ‘mate’ for buddy or chum?”
Agreed! Just cause I’m American doesn’t mean I don’t call my friends “mate.” Mind you, I attribute this to having too many British, Aussie, and Kiwi friends since I was young.
I find that graph very offensive.
Jerk.
I find your post very offensive.
+450 points.
I gave extra to excuse my own bias against the British. It’s not a political thing… more like… an aesthetic, cultural thing. Rule Britannia! British people hurt me where it hurts most: my eyes, my tongue, my stomach, and my ears. I think the Queen is AWESOME.
FAIL
u betta love the queen u twat, and yeah i bet a few brits have hurt ur face and torso…. i wonder why….
i don’t make fun of accents, i find them quite sexy and attractive actually…
ditto
Me too… especially Australian ones…
I do too. I love accents from Australia and Britain. I’d say mate to my friends but I don’t want to be seen as an American who’s just saying it to mock the Australians when I’m not.
I’m American and love British, Australian, and Canadian accents.
Just out of curiosity, do any of you non-Americans like our accent as much as we like yours? Because I’ve heard some say American accents are hot, while others say they make us sound stupid.
Im from britian, I love american accents
Yay
NO!!! american accents make me want to punch them out! i don’t know anbody who can stand the accents, they are not hot and do make you sound stupid! they are ugly and repulsive
I’m Scottish (which means I’m British for those who beleive that Britain is another word for England) and I love listening to my American Grandad talking. So no I don’t find them hot because it’s my Grandad but I lve listening to them
heh sometimes I don’t even realise someone’s speaking with an american accent, and when i do i either find it highly amusing, quite sexy or it makes me want to shout SHUT UP! Or I ask ‘Is that person american…?’ I get very strange looks after that… but i do like them ^_^
Isn’t a Kiwi a fruit and a bird?
It’s also a New Zealander, but they’re sort of fruity birds, so it works…;)
hey! We New Zealanders Resent that Remark!
Lol. Sure do, mate!
Here… have a chip, bro.
LOL! SCOOOOORE!
i like kiwis. all kinds. theyre all so cute
and new zealand is GORGEOUS
+15 points. I have a pet fruity bird.
A kiwi?
Yes please.
Crikey a sting ray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ooooh poor taste there, mate.
HA HA! Kitteh tinks dats funneh!!
hahaha was up mate?
“was up mate?” Hopefully you are up for going to summer school.
Unless they are typing it as it would be pronounced. Then I hope they’re up for the beach this summer.
Hey! We’re not making fun of your accent; nearly all Americans LOVE the Aussie accent. Most of us are just terrible at imitating accents and many choose unfortunate moments to make a terrible attempt.
I’ll second this remark.
Me too.
I find this offensive, and I’m not surprised Americans make fun of your accent *mate*
haha this is an excellent graph! one that will go down in time as the most profound thing to ever come out of australia!
Well considering the other thing we’re most well known for is Steve Irwin, that sounds about right.
(Sorry to break your hearts, Americans, but most Aussies couldn’t stand him)
Um, most of us don’t really care, either.
I say mate, im british (scottish) and i dont say it to make fun of anybodies accent xP
I’m in the same boat.
I live just below the Scottish border and ‘mate’ is a very common bit of vocabulary here.
What??? no pirates?
I was disappointed too. Though perhaps they just prefer “matey.”
I love kiwis
i have never in my life said, “mate,” until now. it’s too bad you’re giving a bad name to your fellow “Aussies,” b/c i don’t think us Americans really ever had a problem with y’all.
i´ve seen people do the same thing with southerners in the us. unfortunately, we tend to associate all southern accents with stupidity.
You must be a Yankee.
Or from the west coast. Or the mid-west. Or anywhere else that isn’t the south, really.
I’ve met some really cool and intelligent people from the south, but the region doesn’t generally have the greatest image.
What region does have a good image, particularly when one points out only the negative aspects? The west coast is predominated by California, a liberal hotbed that is on the brink of financial disaster because they can’t afford their socially-biased budgets. Midwest – ass-backward farmers or rust belt? Northeast – Bronx? New Jersey?
excellent point
Hey, I live in southern Alabama and I agree with him/her.
Kelly, I didn’t take offense to your remark at all. Since you said, “unfortunately,” I knew you weren’t trying to call me stupid for using the term “y’all.” One time, my dad was a foreman on a construction site up north somewhere (perhaps Michigan), and he said, “y’all,” and one of his smart-a** subordinates asked him what “y’all” meant, and he said, “Y’all is everybody but me!” Lol! I love my dad.
I’m from Illinois and I love southern accents. I pretty much love any accent besides mine, actually.
for the record, most americans find the australian accent very hot! maybe it´s just dudes who are jealous that you are going to get all that american tail.
Agreed! I watch Australian guys’ Youtube videos just to hear their accents.
i actually dont find australian accents that attractive. i like them but meh. i like mexican and russian accents better
quite true mate
Do i need to bring up the ashes? XD
whingin’ pommie bastards! you’ve given me the best new name to call people…also its hilarious how many people are trying to make serious discussion out of this, people even make fun of each other in their own social heirarchies (sp?) so why is it surprising that we make fun of other nations? So from my ignorant cowboy beer drinkin american ass, to your bumbling animal rustlin beer drinkin aussie ass, cheers mate!
Yeah but… you might just want to be careful who you call a “whingin’ pommie bastard.” It’s not exactly polite.
oh and australian money is beautiful, we should follow their example
http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.thirteenmonths.com/images/australia/auA/au_money.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.thirteenmonths.com/picturepages/auA/auA49.htm&h=424&w=693&sz=121&tbnid=S6x0hMd6Zt6fjM:&tbnh=85&tbnw=139&prev=/images%3Fq%3Daustralian%2Bmoney&usg=__4f-WlKMbgj4RHAry2Gce4Fg1Co8=&ei=VDJ3So6GBIWksgPc47zqCA&sa=X&oi=image_result&resnum=1&ct=image
ooh, it is pretty. thanks for sharing!
Mmmm… kiwi blokes are hot… ^^
Yes they are!
Someones pissed off about the ashes
*inter-continental high five*
Who isn’t…? Ugh… Umpires.
Im confused…. didn’t the english actually discover America?
Haha! I love you.
Yeah and filled it full of prisoners
That wasn’t america
What’s funny is… actually, yes it was. Georgia, for instance, was a penal colony long before Australia. Only after the American Revolution did Australia become the place to send the criminals.
I thought criminals were sent to Siberia too at some point?
lol no. The Chinese did in 1421.
lol i am american and that is still funny. I hate typical fatass americans
Me too! It seems like there’s just enough of them to give the rest of us a bad name.
i like kiwis and puppies too
I have a friend who calls his wife “mate”, and I tease him endlessly about it. When he’s ont he phone, I can’t tell if he’s talking to his boss or his wife!
My partner tried it once. Wisely, he has chosen never to call me that again.
MAAAAAAAAAATE… MAAAAAAAAAAAAATE…. if it was a kiwi you’d be called “bro” bro… err I mean maaaaaaaate
hello
how are u doing
l think u are feel find
and i hope u are come
chat with me l want u to add
me and let chat………….think my dear
Well don’t talk that way mate.
Wheee, I’m from New Zealand. ‘bro’ and ‘mate’ can kinda be used interchangeably here…i think ‘mate’ is a little more common though. slightly. did we steal it from aus, or did aus steal it from nz? hmm…now sparks the aus vs nz war. ISLAND WARS!
soooo
no mentioning
“underarm” then?
I wouldn’t call it “making fun” of the accent. I just wish I had such a cool one, so I try to imitate it. I suck at it. My midwestern US accent is so boring.
At least you have a real accent.
PEOPLE! isnt time we all got along didn’t argue about race.
MAAAATTTTTTTTEEEEEEE!
Didn’t think they’d all appreciate the joke. Some of us do! Noice. Sweet.
Dont you just detest the frigging Australians. – From a South African.
P.S. By the time this tri-nations is over, you lot will wish you’d wimply stuck with aussie rules.
This dudes just pissed off cause his ancestors were kick out of britain for inbreeding!
Poor baby.
All of the xenophobes here have obviously never lived in Britain for any length of time or you would know what rubbish you are spouting. Get over the history and live your own lives – it is because of these stupid attitudes that the world is so messed up. There are brilliant people and complete tossers in every race and from every culture and one of those tossers obviously made this graph.
England will win the ashes. Just thought I’d tell you all.
We can only hope.
i doubt that actually but we shall cross our fingers and have a few pints
O ye of little faith. It’s talk like that that’ll make the pommies lose.
Sorry about the “Americans making fun” thing. I’m American, and when I visited Australia and New Zealand a few years back, your accents were wonderful to listen to. Everyone was so friendly. I’m sure some of us say “mate” to Aussies because we like your accent, and wish we could sound like that.
Im english, and I have to say, you shouldn’t just base your opinion of us on what you’ve seen on Family Guy and The Simpsons. (Love both of those shows btw
)
? You do realise Family Guy and The Simpsons are american… not english… not even british! *gasp* And you’re not actually meant to take them seriously coz they are just cartoons…
I love American accents. I think they are the coolest thing in forever.
Oi.. What was wrong with my reply button there? Go figure.
Really? I’m American, and think british/australian/irish/scottish accents are the coolest things ever. And that women with them are 10 times sexier.
So because I am a Scottish MAN you think I am not 10 times sexier? That’s sexism that is!
Ahhh, no one even talks about the Welsh and their accents. :’(
ummm, you too could be mentioned (insulted) a lot online too!
Here’s an idea or 2.
take over a large country (so you will have room for larger population), maybe Canada being as they aren’t so densely populated (except along border with US). Then become rich and have lots of TV shows and at least a few international celebs upon which other countries will base their like/hate of you. Also a big military will do wonders.. no matter if you use it to help OR take over other countries. Export some sort of food/drink and make it famous throughout the world, but it must mention something Welsh… oops, nevermind, we already did Welsh’s foodstuff over here :\
It might be easier to take over the continent of Antarctica than Canada though and you won’t have to worry about developing an “eh?” on the end of your sentences, but on the other hand, i hear it’s a few degrees colder down there and that may affect your accents even more.. which would defeat the whole project i suppose.
ummm, have you thought about immigrating to another country that’s already bashed all over the internet?
after thinking about what i posted here for fun, i have to face it that there will ALWAYS be somebody that will find a way to be offended, it is not those people to which i post (unless i sling a really snotty slur in your direction)
maybe this post is too buried to be noticed anyway :\
As a “pom”
I find this offensive and racist.
Come on Becca – this is just a bit of rib-tickling! We will always be the ‘poms’ and they will always be the ‘Aussies’ – stiff upper lip and all that….
Humor me someone… I just read all 100+ responses hoping someone would explain the word “Pom.” I can only assume it’s a pejorative term looking at the responses. And thusly, what’s the signifigance of being a “whigning pommie bastard?” Not trying to incite, just want some insight…
I’m an American, and I promise, I’d never make fun of your “accent.” I take great delight in listening to other dialects/accents whenever I can. I’d like to apologize for the ignorance of my fellow Americans when it comes to inter-cultural, international and all other relations.
The ignorance of SOME of your fellow Americans. You make it sound like it’s all of us.
HA!
Now here’s an Aussie who’s obviously had ONE bad thing said/done to him by a Brit!.
Steriotypical Aussie, your the one WHINING, I mean come on, you felt the need to globalise it on GraphJam.
No, I’m from Sweden. So much for you Aussie stereotype….
*Ignore previous,, god damn,,What is with me today.. must be the wine
Agreed with the American slice, disagree with the Brits type. I find it offensive.
That’s nice to know. You should try being a Tasmanian before whinging to me about all that.
You are aware that Pommies ARE NOT THE ONLY BRITS right? Britain consists of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland (to some degree) AND England. As a true blood scotsman I take offence to you calling all Brits whinging Pommies. Go have a look at a map you twat.
Love the british comment.
Put another shrimp on the barbie, Bruce.
ARRGH!!!! i HATE it when you bloody sepo’s say this WE DONT HAVE SHRIMP IN AUSTRALIA!!!!!! they are called PRAWNS!!!!!! and we usually buy cooked prawns and eat them cold, BBQ’s are used for lamb chops, bangers and kangaroo steaks *Drool* yeah that’s right your so jealous you don’t live in the only country where it is LEGAL to eat your national animal,
emu’s not that bad either….emu egg omlette…yummmy;)
he was trying to get you riled up…it obviously worked. haha. and the only reason we (americans) say those things is because either 1) as many have said, we like the accent and/or 2) in all of the so-called ‘australian’ advertising here (ie outback steakhouse, aussie shampoo, steve irwin, etc) we are brain-washed into believing that that’s how australians act and sound. i’m sure that you also have plenty of ideas about what american are like based upon what you have seen on tv, in movies and/or via the internet.
*americans
Never had Emu,
Kangaroos is awesome tho, and yes the damn things a called Prawn, and it annoys me when people call them shrimps, but meh…
oh wow. Mate (who made this graph), chillax…
I live in Kiwiland and have a Singaporean accent (which is incredibly annoying, as well as sounding really really uneducated… Love my country hate the accent.)
And I love British accents by the way, although most of my (Kiwi) friends love American accents.
I always wanted to visit Australia but as a Welsh girl who’s never said anything mean about the place or people this graph makes me very sad and hurt…
Tbh, The Northern irish, especially those from belfast, call people “Mate” all the time!
This is insulting…
It should have 20% of British Chavs
1. what is a kiwi?
2. what about how often people ask you for another shrimp on the barbie?
Kiwi, is someone who is from New Zeland (if i spelt that wrong sorry, bit sleepy) and and for No.2, u dont wanna know how many times
Mate is more universal than Australia, mate.
Yes, because you took our greeting and started using it.
I would have added a medium-sized pie segment labelled “Other people who aren’t Australian but use it because they think it sounds exotic.”
This guy has forgotton to include his ‘cell-mate’ since all australians are the decendants of filthy, useless convicts we didnt want in our country anymore.
Duuude… you are *so* jealous.
P.S. You do realise this is a *fun* site? If you’re looking for statistical accuracy and anthropological analysis, WTF did you come here? And if you’re not, WTF with the venom glistening on your fangs?
Lolz
LOL it’s so true!
lol, bunch of douches. get over it.
To the Australians who agree with this or the people who are having a period over it?
It’s ok they can call us whingin, it’s contrary to our nature anyway I wish we moaned more we don’t do it enough, stiff upper lip and all! Anyway they can have that cos after all if it wasn’t for us Brits and more specifically the English, no one would be saying mate would they?
Now I dunno about you but I’m off to the pub with my mates to celebrate the ashes win.
Hehe.
I’ve never spoken IRL to any Americans. So.. they don’t make fun of my accent, becuase they don’t hear it.
An Aussie accent is one of the top two sexiest there are on the planet. The other depends on the guy’s personality and looks.
Chances that the person who made this graph is bitter about losing the Ashes, and a racist moron? 100%
Now comment like this annoy me…
if everybody i ever made fun of called me racist, then i would be the most racist person in the world…
Aussies, arnt racist its just our sence of humour, if anybody comes to Australia, $20.00 there will be at least one person that pulls the piss, but thats all it is, pulling the Piss, if u want racism, and for the record, if u think we are recist to Britts (England and all the other countries, because im lazy) then feel sorry for the Kiwi’s because we give the twice as much craqp as every other Country, the diff is they gove it straigh back…
Everyone needs tp get over themselves and just enjoy a funny Joke,
I feel sorry for you.
I’m OK with that “whinging” comment.
I’m also watching news reports about England winning the ashes.
eh? “mate”? yer firgettin who geed yii yer language! Aussies are decendants of Brittish prisoners ya prick
*Kiwi reads graph*
Good on ya, mate.
The funny thing is, if an Australian and a New Zealander meet in Aussie or NZ, they tend to give each other a hard time. If an Aussie and a Kiwi meet far away from home- The UK or the US, for example- they tend to buddy up, not to mention buy each other drinks!
*Ponders* There’s a graph in there somewhere, mate.
Kiwi: Slang term for a person who lives in New Zealand.
Wow. I never realised I was a ‘Whingin’ Pommie Bastard’! It makes me so happy! Especially when I’m something that I have no idea what it means! What is … ‘pommie’?… *giggle* … *full blown laughter* … *calms down* … Have you ever been to Britain? Do you know any ‘Brits’? I strongly suspect the answer to both of them is no. Well at least I’m not some surfer dude with long blonde hair that worships the beach! ^_^
Aussie Aussie Aussie
OI OI OI!
I’m A True Aussie ya’ know.
Hey, f*ck you mate.
Go put some more shrimp on the barbie and feed ya kolala bear ya Aussie twat
Prawns, and Kolala’s are kool, it is the Drop Bears u need to worry about
(aussiesw will get this)
I’m American and NOT a Yank. In this day and age i wouldn’t say “rebel” and if i say “southern”, non-Americans get it confused with South America.
Around these parts, the plural of “you” is “you all or ya’ll” not “yous” …nor “mates” lol
If i go a while without talking to a Canadian, then hear them speak, i keep thinking i’ve missed a question when they get to the “eh?”.
Is it just the English or Brits in general that start so many of their sentences with “Right”..? What’s that all about? lol One guy (mate?) from London that i sometimes talk to does generally tend to leave right after he starts a sentence with it though. It seems to make no difference what i had just said or if he was last to speak beforehand. Suddenly he says “Right” then i’ve learned to say “Ok, see ya next time” before he gets out his excuse for leaving. LOL
Some thoughts on people from over yonder in Europe.
The women i find “most” attractive are Irish and Scottish. I suppose i should say “women of Celtic ancestry” where ever they were born. Irish/Scottish accents help though… even though i wouldn’t know the difference(?) as to which is which unless it’s pointed out to me.
Other than the Welsh post a ways back and the general country vs country sniping on here, what got me to thinking on this so much recently was a Valentine’s Day commercial that includes a beautiful redhead complete with the perky nose that i think of as Celtic.
I also love Celtic music… some of it anyways. Usually more modernized versions like from Enya, but also some of the more traditional, but it goes a lot deeper than that. To me, it’s like it’s natural… music that has always been there… somebody just had to discover it and play it.
Perhaps my own ancestry has something to do with it. Though it seems most of my folks from way back came before the Revolutionary War, which makes it a bit hard to identify just where in Britain “they” came from, much of the early settlers here were Irish or Scottish… and the shape of the “family nose” seems to agree.
……………..
This isn’t meant to be a classified add LOL
I just wanted to point out that though i was really disappointed not long after i got on the internet at how countries i thought were America’s friends (and not so distant relatives) and by extension, my friends and relatives in general, seem to hate US… that even with that, i’m still attracted to the “old country” and people… or at least some of it.
Hey, I’ve NEVER said that there aren’t adorable non-redhead ladies in Europe either! That i know for a fact!
ok, so that’s about women, but as for a couple thoughts about the guys..
Though i’m not a drinker myself, if i was to get a notion to visit a “pub” (which would to me mean traveling overseas) I imagine some place in the Highlands and my best drinking buddy having red hair (and likely beard too). Or.. down by the sea someplace in Ireland and an outburst of “ARRRRR!” ever now and then. LOL does anyone over there actually say that?
Maybe it’s just my childhood fascination with old movies about past days of sailing.. and Simpsons.
ya ya, kinda simplistic points but this post is much too long for here
Shuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
Woah Nelly, mind it with the Brit offending. Australian accents are awesome, and I’m realizing that might just be personal opinion, but still. Brits are good people.

okay, so kiwis can speak. and english no less! a kiwi is a green fruit with a fuzzy brown outside, or a small flightless bird… either way it’s weird…
The Kiwi Bird come form NZ, hence why we call em’ Kiwi’s
Like most internet threads this one is full of stupidity,trolling and lies.

I thought this was graph was funny, and yes i read all this commenta, and i have friends that are american, from Brittian, (all of it) and NZ…
and as far as i can tell, the only ones who took it in the intention that ths graph was meant to be taken in were the Kiwi’s, us Aussies, about 25% of the Britts and nearly all of the Americans. to the people who didn’t grow up. and learn the difference between pulling the Piss and Racism, because if you dont, u will be like that snobby millionare who said that all Aussies are racist, he didn’t get the sence of humour.
