"Adelaide's own........*INSERT B-GRADE CELEB HERE*"

In the UK it's what they call those Breezer type drinks...I think you call them lollie drinks or something...in other words alcoholic fizzy pop.

Cans of Woody Golds

By the bottle now and mix em 5x stronger...

[Magpiespower]

Footy commentators are especially guilty of this crime...

"Former [insert home state here]".

How does one become a former South Australian?

Either you are or you aren't!

You never hear expats referred to as "former Australians."

Former Australian Peter Carey? Former Australian John Olsen? Former Australian Mark Viduka?

[johntheclaret]

Literally... But only when they don't mean it literally.

Like

"I'm so hungry I could literally eat a horse"

So if I put it a horse in front of them, they'd be able to eat the whole thing?

It might be beter than backing them

1. Superstar. Usually used to refer to 95% of AFL players and now creeping into Cricket and other sports.

Agree with this one Squawk. Especially when James Brayshaw introduces Trevor Marmalade as "the superstar behind the bar" and that he has "dominated" for 15 years. Didn't know he had any competition to "dominate" over.

Similar "young champion" for everyone who gets more than 5 kicks in an AFL game. Would only be one or two players per generation that would come under such a definition- Carey, J Brown, Judd.

Also the word "like" into of says.

I like this one! Bloody Beauty!

Language HOF. Behave yourself

Unless of course they've had to renounce Aussie citizenship. Case in point, former Australian Rupert Murdoch.

[Dogwatcher]

Or former Croatian, former Australian Australian Jelena Dokic.

[CENTURION]

"PUT IT AWAY!"

[CENTURION]

"IS IT IN?"
