    News item this morning:

    Bonzer Software for Aussies.

    Microsoft is developind software that recognises Antipodean slang words such as ”bonza”; ”daggy”; ”sanga”; and ”dinky-di”. Microsoft’s Australian subsidiary commissioned linguists and broadcasters to compile a list of quintessential Aussie words for inclusion into its 2007 Microsoft Office System.

    Users will be abe to vote online on which words should be included.

    Would anyone care to suggest some well known words or even a phrase that aptly describes Australian computer users???

    I was kinda hoping that the phrase ”Aussie C*nt” would work its way in here – but there’s still time.

    does the term “rack off” still get used in Australia?

    i remember it being the “in” word on neighbours a few years back before i stopped watching it

    I think you mean ”Jack off” …. which term refers to the average Aussie’s sex life.
