I was shocked that Jonathan should use this concept without
asking permission from us Australians.

Did the Aussies ask permission from the Brits?

C'mon Chris, I don't think you understand how Australian this is.
Perhaps I can help. It is so Australian that the Brits got it
from the Australians through backwards causation.

This seems all Greek to me ;-)

don't mind) for more on this.

Does the source real matter? I love etymology, but since when can any
group claim exclusive rights for the usage of any word?

Take care,

I never thought of things in this light. You know, you are right,
it does not matter. What was I thinking?

Never mind the ten bucks. Look it up. It originates from French. The
implication of practices at Sodom and associating it with Bush is
interesting.

But, Gus, the same thing applies to how the French got it. The
price for my evidence has gone back up to $10 (it was for a brief
moment down to $5, but you have to be quick if you want to a
bargain...)

Yes, you obviously see that I doctored the story about the steer
jumping out of the way of the president's pickup in the interest
of decorum. In fact, blowing his horn was a signal for a
specially trained steer he had picked up to come.
