Are you true blue??

As you may or may not know, the Australian government is introducing a formal questionnaire to the citizenship requirements for this country, which seems like a load of bollocks, really - half of Australia would probably fail it! They aren't releasing the questions at the moment, so The Age (newspaper) published some real ones, so you can work out if you really understand Australian language and culture! Here are a few of my favourites:

LANGUAGE
> Are these terms related: chuck a sickie; chuck a spaz; chuck a U-ey?

> Explain the following passage: "In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo."

CUSTOMS
> Complete the following sentences: a) "If the van's rockin' don't bother … b) You're going home in the back of a … c) Fair suck of the …

> I've had a gutful and I can't be fagged. Discuss

> Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 km/h while listening to Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash?




Any of you Canadians understand any of that???

You can read all the questions here.

Incidentally, Canada has a formal questionnaire - you can try some sample questions here. (They're far less fun!)
