Re: OT:CHAT: Clarifying the language barrier
From: Bill Shear <BILLS@hsc.edu>
Australia and the US: two countries separated by a common language.
MAD magazine used to publish this snippet of Aussie slang:
"It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide."
Supposed translation: You'd be crazy to bribe a policemen with counterfeit
money.
