It's not real Aussie if it's censored. And the return value really should depend on if you say CUNT (good) or SHIT CUNT (bad).

Perfect for a first-year programming course at university.


You mean uni, roight mate?


F'kn oath!


Faaaark mate.

Looks fair dinkum.

Hooroo.


Nah, yeah!


yeah - booleans here have three values. "Yeah", "nah", and "yeah - nah"


Yeah nah. Yeah nah = nah = false, nah yeah = yeah = true.


Yeah nah it’s a tri-state, china plate.

In Australia each bit has three posi’s, which means a single byte can count to 3^8 = 6,561

(This also explains why computing is so much more expensive here).


That explains why our internet is so slow too. Every bit is 50% bigger so we can't squeeze as many into the pipes.


I'm MOVin' to aussieLand!
