I was talking to Vince at work, and we were talking about how the word "heaps" is underused in this country. He told me this story:
"There was the Australian guy on some spring break trip I went on in college, and they were doing some sort of dating game type thing, and the MC tells the guy to give the girl his best compliment, and the guy goes 'Back home Oi leeve on an Emyew fahm, we got whole heaps a emyews. And I'd give em all up for you.'"
And I thought it was a rather nice compliment. For all you Aussies that think that this anecdote makes you lot look too soft, Vince hastened to inform me that the same fellow later exposed himself to the crowd. So.
