Bing? Come on now, why would anyone want to use any other search engine than AltaVista?

Exactly. Babelfish translates all your Australian jargon into proper 'merica speak so I don't have to know or learn it.

However, it should be pointed out that there is the rare occasion where you might want to use a search engine other than AltaVista. I'm talking, of course, about when you want the answer to a question so you go to Ask Jeeves and type it in.

Bing is slang in America for 'Microsoft paid for advertising on this TV program'

In a note of seriousness, bing does have a rewards system that pays you up to a certain amount per month for using its stupid search function. Worth using until you reach the monthly limit, at least.

Dasmos · « **Reply #8 on:** June 22, 2015, 08:50:44 AM »

I think wanker is a British term.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #9 on:** June 22, 2015, 10:24:56 AM »

The only things I know about Australia are from that one Simpsons episode or the Monty Python sketch.

Dasmos · « **Reply #10 on:** June 22, 2015, 08:27:05 PM »

That's all you need to know really. My Pop was named Bruce, however it isn't as common a name anymore I'm afraid.

Dasmos · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2015, 11:25:47 PM »

I'm pretty sure it's a toilet. However, I've never heard the term used in conversation.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #18 on:** June 23, 2015, 11:29:10 PM »

Thunderbox was Insano's mom's nickname in high school.

I just want to point out that Australia is a lot safer then America! ( apart from disappearing in the desert watch wolf creek THAT is some scary ****) and if America adopts the same laws that Australia has had for gun laws years there would be a tenth of the guns shooting every man for himself borderlands style shooting the **** out of each other.
