My college professor is Australian but she never says Crikey?

You are a fool. Steve Irwin is the only person to say that.

Why would she say "its a bloody crocodile" in an accounting class anyway ?

Well to be honest, my husband is Australian and I have never heard him say "Crikey Sheila...chuck another shrimp on the barbie and open me a tinny!" .do you think he is trying to be Botswanian? I am suspicious of him now...

oceangirl78

Yeah,and 99.9 % of the Australian population does not use the term.

Steve S

Struth, your professor's a Sheila!

Mel

Stone the flamin' crows, she doesn't say Crikey! What's wrong with her?

Nurse Kelly

I don't say 'Crikey'. Sometimes I say 'mate' or 'Gday' but not necessarily together (ie I don't say Gday mate). But not Crikey.

Most of us don't say crikey unless we're talking about the news/opinion web site.

Crikey!! It must be bloody killing her tryn'ta blend in with your mob! Tell the sheila youse would all still understand her if she speaks in her own tongue. I don't see why she'd be sayin' "it's a bloody crocodile" though.... we only say that when we actually see one.

hahahaha
no shes not trying to be american.
im australian, and no one i know talks like that.
the only person ive heard thats used those terms is steve irwin.
i find it amusing that the rest of the world thinks we live with kangaroos and say stupid things like crikey and all that crap.

Deb

Thats because almost no one says it LOL

aussieamerican

Fair dinkum!

minimouse68

Lol.........almost no-one says crikey here!! Problem is most other nations get their ideas of what aussies are like from people like Steve Irwin.

Bella B

Aside from Steve Irwin and tragic wannabes nobody utters those words in any normal everyday conversation (or even abnormal conversations for that matter!)

Nicole G

hahaha not very many Aussies actually say crikey!

aflumpire

maybe she doesnt like crocodiles!?!?

does she say cobber, shiela, mate, tru blu, dinky di, Phar Lap, g'day or OH MY GOD, LOOK AT THE AMERICAN!!!!!

Aussie Babe

ha, you're hilarious... not.

I reckon it depends where you come from and what the people around you say/use as slang words. I reckon 'crikey' is an outdated saying in Aussie land, but I do know older Aussies you use it.

Australians do have some weird sayings, you're just familar with one or two of the words, probably why you've never picked it up.
