Tosser = Wanker in the UK or so Wikipedia says. It also has this to say "(UK, slang, pejorative) Someone the speaker doesn't like
That bloke who ripped me off was a right tosser."
"Ozzies" and not "Aussies"..... I guess most of us do not care what you call us. We have thick skins. My father always said "You can call me anything but do not call me late for dinner".
This morning Aussie Yahoo tells us we are the fattest nation on earth. Now we have something else to be proud of Maybe we should not have been in such a hurry for our dinner.
I had read many of Douggies posts and one day came across one where he was calling Mel Gibson an Aussie Wanker. I thought to myself "now this man knows a thing or two about Aussies" . Douggie has a great sense of humor and he can call me a wanker any day he wants.
We can dish it out but we can take it too and that is what makes us Aussie. You will notice in my posts I make fun of andym and that is my way of saying "hey Andy I think you are a great guy". I have teased many people in my posts and I think most have taken it the wrong way but all I was trying to say to those people was "Hey guys I think you are a good guys and I want to play boats with you". I am sorry if people take me the wrong way but saying what I say is what make me, me. Life would be boring if we were all the same.
