It would be nice if you were speaking a less twangy cringey version of English. More difficult to decipher than ebonics.

I’ve dated Aussie Sheilas,and not one of them would have come within a kookaburra’s call of your onscreen persona with that overwrought digger’s twang.

As for the “stories” well, I don’t know what you are trying to communicate here, but the message was lost in the untranslatable gibberish you put on screen and through the speakers.

You are aware that this is a News Discussion site, chiefly American politics centered, not a blog, correct?

I'm sorry but this is incomprehensible to an American audience.

Most Americans can understand a Crocodile-Dundee-dialect but this is nearly unintelligible. It's like hearing or reading Middle English. Yes, many words are recognizable but it takes work to understand the others.

A second issue is the idiosyncratic phrases and references to people involved.

In order to understand the joke, one would have to be familiar with all the history and background of the people and topics involved.

In a sense the joke is hopelessly lost in translation.

Best regards.

"Is he funny?"

Yes! ;D I learned some figures of speech from an Australian friend long ago. Thank you for the presentation, Ozguy1945!
