Two other countries separated by a common language

[Doug Harris]

Except, of course, when you're seeing cutsie somethings
such as cowboys / cowgirls, steers / heifers, jacks /jills,
and my personal favorite (!): talkers / gawkers.

If I had to guess, I'd imagine Australia is more likely to
have similar useinisms (sic) than any other country where
English is the principal language. I perceive their language
(and use of it) as being more "colorful" (in a non-dirty
sense) than most others. Is that a fair or reasonable assumption?

Doesn't anyone ask for the "Men's Room" or
"Ladies' Room" for public facilities any
more?  It's what I see on the doors in the U.S.
