Throw another shrimp on the barbie ...

We had some Australians in our office last fall for meeting. I had to put a presentation together for our data acquisition methods and slipped in a picture into the presentation, mainly because I am a jerk.

Anyways, this started a conversation about Australian sayings, and this one is a total farce according to my Aussie experts. They flat out do not say this. They did fill me in on a few other slang terms, many of which had the room in stitches.

As an aside, the lovely lady who was part of the group was a hard 10.

Yep, the "Shrimp on the barbie saying" was actually from an ad pitched to Americans to holiday in Australia. But it seemed to gather a life of its own. It's been quoted many times in US media and even by Hollywood (eg. Jim Carey in Dumb and Dumber).
