I'm afraid to say Ryan that it's too late now....... YOU ARE DOOMED!!
Somewhere along the family line you had an Aussie in the mix
You seem to be abnormal as the rest of us!!
Aussies love to take the urine out of anybody who is around & if there is nobody else around, we hook in on ourselves!
We love to take the pis* & pick handles out of EVERYONE & most nationalities (a) don't like it at all, &/or (b) become agressive/agitated. If the recipient doesn't take too much offence & returns in kind, respect is generated & the person is accepted.
This Aussie behaviour has been ingrained into the Aussie psyche since the birth of our nation.
Aussies HATE any class society (courtesy of a penal history & England) We tend to give someone some stick to see how they react!
Australia is one of the most multi-cultural societies around (21million & 97% are of imported origin) & we like to get on with everybody (it makes life a lot easier) We tend not to take ourselves or life too seriously. We are just testing to see what sort of reaction we'll get. Other nationalities have misread this as a less intelligent/educated culture usually to their detriment but from the reaction an Aussie will form an opinion.
If someone has you called a 'mate' you should concider it as having a brother & if you are refered to as a 'best mate' it's as if you have the same feelings as a twin. "Mateship" has a VERY sepcial meaning in Australia which goes back to diggers in W.W.I
So ends my view of basic Aussie psychology 101
Or I've got me head up me ar*e & I'll soon be told

"head up me ar*e & I'll soon be told" so you can see he is personally studying his own colon.

Thanks Major! However, I just took a p1ss so you'll have to wait a couple of hours before you take some more out.
Steadfast,
