I really don't know, but I do know it got many Australians angry... as you can tell, I don't really listen to stupid news like this, as I couldn't care less.
Bloke is an Australian word for man.

There was something on our local news about a cowboy movie being filmed in Alberta. I wasn't listening too well as you can see.

LOL! That's a description I like.

Ayup. Though I'd forgotten the last line.

@Sol: Haha, I'm proud of you
.
Do I need to bring up more Australian slang, because truth be told, most of it seems normal to me.

Meh, when people tell me they're proud of me, they're usually sarcastic.
It's just that 'bloke' has a different meaning within my group of friends, but I love how you've simplified it.

I'm not sarcastic, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't listen to idiotic 'news' stories.
Oh please, share your definition, and I bet it's another case of something completely different, and makes me look extremely weird

*nod* The only entertainment news I like usually comes from the paper and it's movie reviews, who's died, and if Brad Pitt's coming back to Calgary.
Nope. It pretty much means a man. :laugh:

DJ,while your slang me be confusing at times, its got nothing on American slang, if you put an aussie who was in his 20's during the 70's, and an aussie who is in his 20's now, they could still communicate with out offending the other. If you did the same thing to two americans, depending on who each person was, only one would walk out alive.

It's your turn to suffer eh? I feel for you after my brutal time with 'Snap'.
BTW, 'bloke' has entered English slang too.
Right it's late and I'd better go. See you all later.

@Sol, ooo, lovely, she's morbid
Pretty much? Come on, where's the difference?
@Phreddie, not really, there has been a big shift. Back in the old days, many a thing was collequialised, such as, 'bag of fruit' meant 'a suit'. There were about a million of those things floating around, and it was extremely confusing. Now most of those are faded out, and we basically speak English... with a bit of gibberish here and there, you kipswokker.
Awww, okay then Rav, seeya, and good luck with your Uni Task Masters.
And I read the 'Snap' incident, quite funny
.
Seeya mate.

America has this problem, where, since we have people form everywhere, we have slang form everywhere, and it all means different things.

Bye Rav!
What makes me morbid?
Not the Brad Pitt thing?

We have people flooding in everday... literally, they come on boats (it's an island, how else would you get here
). Though most of them are illegal, and as a result, are locked up, then sent back...
@Sol, no, reading to look for deaths makes you morbid.
And stop avoiding the question and teasing me, let me know the answer

@DJV, I know, I was joking.
But seriously, I like people to know they better remember someone because they just died!
Maybe I should reword that...
Made you look.
:devil:

Yeah, I realised that, but if you're going to ignore my question, then I'm going to state the obvious.
Yeah, I'll usually react when someone famous dies, that's not morbid... it's morbid when you get angry that no one died, so you don't have anything to read.
And speaking of stating the obvious... you made me look

Meh,
that's morbid.
There's always movie reviews. I also like reading my horoscope. I think it's stupid, but it amuses me.
Why are you looking down here? My reply's up there.
Stop wasting your time by reading these!
My goodness. You sure have a lot of time on your hands, don't you?
:mischief:

I'm really not into Horoscopes, I mean, they leave it so vague... 'today you might meet someone you once might have liked. And maybe that new idea might be accepted by someone you may know'...
I bet you don't highlight this
Nor this
P.S. As a matter of fact, I DO!

@Sol, did you see both, or just one?
