Was the original post from an Australian or Brit ?
You yanks must tell me the truth about a rumor I heard that an Australian
has brought out a brand of beer in America called `Wanker', complete with
promotional `I'm a Wanker!' T-Shirts. (Don't worry, over here we have 4
wheel drive cars called `Pajeros' which I have had confirmed by a native
speaker is Spanish for `wanker')
There's you linguistics lesson for today,
