One of the first things I saw while in the Sydney airport awaiting my flight to Adelaide, scratched in the men’s toilet stall wall:
Kiwis are bloody wankers!
I had no idea at the time what it meant.
Then about an hour later a guy asked me for a fag.
I seriously began to wonder what I had gotten myself into!
Letterman once had Rickey Gervais do a Top Ten List called "Top Ten Questions Americans Ask Brits" and one of them was: What do you mean by "let's go smoke a fag"?
Brits and,it would appear,Aussies use "fag" as slang for cigarette.
