Andrew I am sorry but VB read your bit 'Flatypus: a cat that has been run
over by a vehicle' and is not amused -but also that he has emailed some of
his moggy Oz catmates -so be careful watch out for packs of nasty moggy
heavies heading your way _ps don't expect your dogs to be any help
P a warning -fur is flying

The following are results from an OZ-words Competition where entrants were
asked to take an Australian word, alter it by one letter only, and supply a
witty definition.
Clearly, you need to be an Aussie to understand.
Billabonk: to make passionate love beside a waterhole
Bludgie: a partner who doesn't work, but is kept as a pet
Dodgeridoo: a fake indigenous artefact
Fair drinkum: good-quality Aussie wine
Flatypus: a cat that has been run over by a vehicle
Mateshit: all your flat mate's belongings, lying strewn around the floor
Shagman: an unemployed male, roaming the Australian bush in search of sexual
activity
Yabble: the unintelligible language of Australian freshwater crustaceans
Bushwanker: a pretentious drongo, who reckons he's above average when it
comes to handling himself in the scrub
Crackie-daks: 'hipster' tracksuit pants.
And for the Kiwi's amongst us:
Shornbag: a particularly attractive naked sheep.
