Calling friends that is ok in AU, but don't try it on a stranger. They call us 'skips', so it's all ok amongst friends. Some English backpackers I met were absolutely horrified that anyone would say that - they reckon that to use that word in the UK would be the equivalent of a death wish. Can't say that I know it to be true first hand though.

Yep. Call a black man in England a 'wog' and you'll most likely end up with a slit throat. BTW it means Western Oriental Gentleman (ie a middle easterner/north african) and has nothing to do with golliwogs, but has come to mean a black man in England.

Similarly 'paki', which in Australia is just short for 'pakistani' is taboo in England, although some people from the Indian sub-continent jokingly use it to describe themselves, a white doing so would again result in him gaining an extra breathing hole.

Depends. Go to any provincial town and ask the Kappa-slappers drinking cider on park benches - you know, the ones using their prams as ashtrays. Or are you talking 'quality' UK women?

really I meant quality (you know, Liverpool) women

Well, being that london is so much more expensive and It's easier to get to, it looks like I'm going to hit up Sydney.

thanks all,
