G'day,

What's with you Aussies and this G'Day thing now? Some inside joke I need ta
know about? :-)

It's a compression of the greeting good day.
A greeting that has become a bit cliched (eg. Paul Hogan), but still
genuine in most cases. My NLSO thinks that no-one says it, she should read
Lugnet, I guess.

(...) Well, I knew that much :-) (...) OK, well, I thought there's some reason why you're compressing it (e.g. joking 'bout a TV anchor or something.) Never mind... :-) -Shiri (24 years ago, 22-Jun-00, to lugnet.loc.au)
