You Melbourne people know what I am talking about and so do you Sydneysiders. Except we have a slightly different language. I recall being puzzled by a Sydney friend's reference to cockies and how he was killing them en masse. How cruel I thought and why would you kill such entertaining birds when he lived in concrete and not red cedar?
We in Melbourne know cockies as cockatoos, a bird, but filthy Sydneysiders know them as cockroaches, or roaches or cockies.
It has come to pass that we cross over. DB has cockies and R does at his work place too. R's invasion sound like they are of the native variety, not sure about DB's.
"Dirty Sydneysiders?" I don't know whether to be flattered or take offense :P
ReplyDeleteBrown ones are Aussies, flat black ones are Seppos probably in the pay of the CIA.
ReplyDeleteFilthy actually Steph. Why do you think I like the place.
ReplyDeleteJah Teh, I would have to see them side by side so I would know. I don't want to do that. All creatures great and small does not inlude them.
Sydney is a beautifully situated city. Too bad their lingo is SO DAMN WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteNo need to see them together, the black ones are shiny shiny black and really flat.
