    Australians inside please...

    What is the name for the exaggerated/forced type of Australian that the likes of Steve Irwin used to speak?

        OK so what's the name for it?

        I meant to put " around 'exaggerated/forced' because that is how it can come across to some people.

        I've heard of 'Strine' before, but I don't think that is what it was called to me a few years back.

                                  Essentially a term used Australia wide but not surprising it's not a well known word. Even in Australia current generations are not well read enough to be familiar with the term.

                                  Coined in the 60's.

                                        For all those who haven't seen Australia or don't have the right to live here, here's some images of the most wonderful country in the world.

                                                          This version sheds a new light.
                                                          Strange in WWII, we actually stopped the bad guys. Since then, even if we go after bad guys, it seems to be a long Fuck-up.
                                                          When you get down to it, WW I and the US Civil War were Fuck-ups. So many died, for so little.

                                                            He reminded me of a bullshit showman on drugs! Steve Irwin made me shrink. He is not typical of us at all - look at what his moron widow is doing with that kid of theirs! At least he and his tribe were way more famous in the US than here. They should have buried the bastard there!

                                                            Long live our natural language "Strine", save Bindi Irwin and good health to Stingrays!

                                                              I lived in Australia for 5 years and raised my son in that culture. I'm moving back soon after my son is settled into college here in the U.S. next year

And no, I wasn't pissed off my rocker when I posted that, as you mentioned. Only pissed-orf with the Irwin brand on showmanship.
