lol, thanks for that, I just was reading triivia about the Simpsons, and it said The noise Maggie makes sucking her dummie was made by Matt Groening, I was like  ??? but now that makes sense.

also I work for a major software company and we had to change the  name of one of the tools I use, it was called Bugger, which of course told me when I had new Software bugs to look at and fix, becuse of our friends across the pond where offended. (again apologies to our friends from England and such.)

The one that really got me was fanny. I grew up in Australia and moved to US about 6 yrs ago. When I first heard of a "funny pack" I was totally stunned!   ???   :-\ Then I realised what "fanny" meant. I was relieved to say the least. LOL

I have read posts about people finding things near the diaper section in Target etc.So I was wondering about names we aussies give to things
Diapers = nappies
cell phones= mobile phones
fanny = down under it means something that your gyn/ob is familiar with
pacifiers = dummies
vacation=holiday leave
football= in some states it is Aussie rules ,up north it is Rugby League
flip flops = thongs
rudebaker?( sp )= swede
I am sure there are more that others can think of
