Aussies

“Aussie” is a friendly slang for “Australian”. The correct pronunciation is “O-zee”. Pronouncing the word with a voiceless “s” in place of the voiced “z” is strongly frowned upon by Australians, and is considered a canonically North American error, along with such errors as pronouncing the last syllables of Melbourne and Brisbane as “born” and “bane,” respectively (both are correctly pronounced with a schwa).In New Zealand and the United Kingdom the term is sometimes used to refer to the country of Australia, as well as Australian persons. In Australia itself the term is only used to refer to its inhabitants.

In Australia the term is used most notably in sporting chants, where it is often expressed with patriotic gusto by Australians. The most widely used chant, a variation of Oggy Oggy Oggy, is:

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!

Aussie! Oi! Aussie! Oi!

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!

The phrases in bold are shouted in response to a single person leading the cheer. The first line may be or may not be doubled. Volume is important. Juan Antonio Samaranch pleased the home crowd by personally leading one of these cheers at the Closing Ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

In a multicultural context, Aussie is used by some in Australia as a specific term for Australians of the ‘traditional’ majority cultural group, that is, “Aussies” is sometimes understood to denote ‘Anglo-Celtic’ Australians.

A parallel can be drawn between the usage of “Aussie” in Australia and Boer in South Africa, both referring to the descendants of early settlers, as opposed to later immigrants. Sometimes this can be interpreted as excluding Australians of a Mediterranean, Asian or Middle Eastern cultural background.

The usage of “Aussie” in this context is regarded as offensive by some, as it can denote that some cultural groups are not equally Australian. It may also be used in a derogatory sense by those who do not consider themselves Australian to label those who do.

While attempts by schools, politicians and the media to use the term as an all encompassing label for those with Australian citizenship, it has continued to retain common usage as an ethnic descriptor, especially among youth. The terminology received international attention as a result of the 2005 Cronulla riots, where tattoos, t-shirts and scrawlings on the beach reading “100% Aussie Pride” were largely seen as a display of ethnic identification.

So, in November 2001 I set about developing my
own update tracker methods for detecting weblog posts that relied on
page size and date comparisons. By the end of the December 2001,
CheckerBot was up and running with my own standalone detection routines
monitoring around 170 sites. By 2003, I was having similar problems to
UserLand in checking the increasing number of Australian weblogs
emerging, so in June 2003 at the suggestion of Brendan McKitrick I
finally programmed a new bot, ChangesBot, that checked the changes.xml
file from Weblogs.com, blo.gs and Blogger.com for updated sites
matching the Aussie Blogs database. This significantly reduced the
number of sites that needed to be visited by CheckerBot every few hours
looking for updates, and significantly increased the scalability and
accuracy of the update tracker. I also programmed another clever bot
called FinderBot which would constantly scour the net searching for new
Australian weblogs and automatically add them to the Update Tracker.
After some tweaking FinderBot became very good at acquiring Aussie
Blogs, and was automatically adding hundreds of new blogs every week,
in addition to user contributions.

The Australian Shepherd’s history is vague, as is
the origin of its misleading name
. Although many claim that the majority of the breed’s antecedents most
originated in the Basque region near the Pyrenees Mountains between
Spain and France
, facts supporting this theory are not there. A few dogs from the
German Coolie breed may have come with sheep from Australia. The color
and conformation of these dogs was similar, while the Basque shepherd
dogs had more marked differences, they were much smaller and lankier,
came in a wire haired variety, and lacked white markings.

The Australian Shepherd is an easy dog to train. Being a working stock dog,
he has been bred to learn to take directions and listen to his owner. He is also
bred to be able to think on his own and make decisions for himself. It is up to
you, the owner, to teach the dog what is, and is not, allowed. When he is a
puppy, he must learn to look to you as his leader or you could be in for trouble
when he becomes an adult. This does not mean you need to treat your puppy
roughly. If trained correctly, Aussies readily accept the authority of their
masters and a harsh word is often as effective as physical punishment. While he
is eating, your puppy should allow you to be present and to take away his food.
He should not growl or nip at you when you try to make him do something. A good
method to show a puppy who is boss is to pick him up by both sides of the scruff
of his neck and shake him gently while looking him in the eye and speaking
firmly. This is very similar to the way a mother dog disciplines her pups and he
will understand this far better than a spanking or a swat with a newspaper.
Aussies are very intelligent and will test you from time to time. You should be
firm and let them know who is in charge. The earlier you do this, the less
trouble you will have later. A dog who knows his place in the family is far
happier and more secure.

The Mini breeders are a split group amongst
themselves. There is one side who feel that they are developing a
distinct breed that they have named the North American Miniature
Australian Shepherd. The second group feels that since the Mini’s
orginated with the Australian Shepherd, that they are merely a size
variation but essentially the same breed and so they maintain the name
of Miniature Australian Shepherds.

Richards’ text uses a wide variety of Australian
colloquialisms along with a casual writing style that might not appeal
to everyone. “It’s slightly cheeky, I suppose, but certainly not meant
to be irreverent”, says Martin Johnson of the Bible Society in New
South Wales, which will do an initial print run of 30,000 copies,
“(but) it’s done with a large amount of care.” So much care, in fact,
that it has been given the blessing of the Anglican Church, and
includes a foreword by the Archbishop of Sydney, Peter Jensen, as well
as the Deputy Prime Minister, John Anderson.

The Australian Shepherd dog, by heritage, is a herder and guardian.
Sometimes their instinct to herd can be mistaken as “meanness” when they are
trying to herd other animals and/or children. Nipping at the ankles is not an uncommon
trait in young Aussies with herding instinct, but is easily discouraged with a gentle
shake and an “ah-ah” sound. All of our Aussies have learned not to nip ankles
within a few days but, taught in this manner, it has not destroyed their natural herding
instincts. Aussies, properly trained and socialized make wonderful companions, they are
highly intelligent, loyal, affectionate and protective of their property and their human
family. Their high-spirits and eagerness to please make them an easy to train dog who will
generally show great enthusiasm for learning new things and being challenged on a daily
basis. Aussies excel in the show ring, trial arena, obedience ring, and they can be
wonderfully athletic agility and flyball dogs. Their high energy makes them a serious
candidate for lots of daily exercise and play. Aussies are generally good with children
and other pets, although they usually try to keep the “herd” together! With
strangers, Aussies can be aloof and show reserve but this should not be taken as shyness,
they are generally just keeping an eye on things and making sure that the new person is
acceptable before making them a friend. As a rule if you, as their owner, tell them the
person is acceptable they will accept your word for it. Once an Aussie makes a friend,
they are a friend for life.

Yes. They are. They’ve been in the DB for
the last 4 years or so. Their inclusion does not
mean that they ARE or AREN’T “Australian Shepherds”. They’re here
because their history, a good chunk of their genetics,
and large portions of their pedigrees are all intertwined with the Australian Shepherd.
So much so that taking the “mini portion” of the DB–which for all intents
and purposes is an impossible task–out for someone else to host as a
“Mini-Aussie” pedigree DB would substantially reproduce what already exists
here.

There are some famous foods in Australia as well. Most people have
heard of Vegemite, and if you were brought up with this spread then
it s a family favourite, otherwise it s certainly an acquired
taste. It s a black, rich spread used on toast in the morning,
something I try to avoid at all costs! Another famous breakfast food
is Wheatbix, a form of cereal that consists of a small, tightly packed
bar of wheat that is usually taken with milk or yogurt. Meat Pies and
Sausage Rolls are practically an institute in Australia, these are common
lunch or snack foods with mince meat or a sausage, respectively, encased
in a layer of pastry, similar to filos but thicker. And finally I can t
go past the Aussie barbie which many families conduct during
holidays and gatherings, the outdoor barbeque which features mainly
sausages, shrimp (that s where that saying comes from put
a shrimp on the barbie ) and various other cuts of meat. Well hopefully
you ve found out a little something you previously did not know
about Australia! Drop me a line at aussiegirl1616@yahoo.com with any

to control all kinds of livestock but especially cattle, the Aussie is
exceptional at moving large herds, pen and stockyard work, and at
flushing out stubborn stock in heavy brush which a person on foot or
horseback cannot penetrate. They are gritty dogs who’ll stay on the job
until you say quit. Stable, loyal, and protective, the Aussie is not an
obsessive workaholic. Aussies are happy go swimming with kids, guard
the pickup, or snooze on the porch when there’s no livestock job to be
done. For more detail, read the ASCA description of the working style
of the Aussie.

Aussie Necessities
lost our beloved Brook in January, 2004 to cancer. Brook completed 35 titles
during her career in ASCA, AKC, UKC and WWKC.
She was invited to ASCA’s first obedience finals in 2000, Georgia
Nationals, super dog division. Brook loved her food, of any kind,
never missed a chance to go swimming and was always kind, beautiful and
full of life. Brook was the reason Aussie Necessities was created.

I’ll bet Americans didn’t know the beef pie is but the tip of the ice-berg of
Aussie pie-ness. I find it is the variety of savoury pies that I
miss. The attitude that anything that might be served on a dinner plate
can just as well be popped in a piecrust, probably finds its American
equivalent in burrito-style
”
wraps
“.
These are basically just flat bread wrapped
around anything from chicken and rice, to teriyaki beef, to peanut butter and
jelly. As with pies, their contents range from the traditional to
“anything goes”. Wraps and meat pies share a similar philosophy; to provide a portable
meal you can hold in your hands.

about everyone and their mother knows that a Jeep TJ, right out of
the box is one of the most capable (if not the very best) off road
vehicle on the planet. Now, what if I told you that you could take
a stock Jeep, throw about $250 (shipped to your door) at it and make
it perform a hell of a lot better on the trail… would you be interested?
Well, with an Aussie Locker by Torq Masters installed in your front
Dana 30 axle, a hell of a lot better is exactly what you will get.
The Aussie Locker is strong, amazingly quite, easy to install and

Aussie Diary is the publishing vehicle for, well,
me, kier, Kieran Knox (click here for Bio)
. Sometime ago, I thought it would be cool to write a cookbook, but not
just a book of recipes - I m not really that good a cook. Nah, rather
than just blurt out a book of recipes, I thought I d mix it all up with
a bit of a story based on the silliness that my life so far has been -
a little raw in some places, a tad overdone in others. From standing
ankle deep in swampwater waiting to photograph a brolga to standing on
a wall at Angkor Wat holding a microphone that looks, apparently, a lot
like a weapon. I had an old typewriter, but, well, it was old and
needed a new ribbon - and where the heck do you get typewriter ribbons
these days? So my housemate, John, decided it was time we invested in a
computer - a big step, venturing into the age of technology - it was,
afterall, 2001.

Australian Shepherds are easy going, perpetual
puppies that love to play. Courageous, loyal and affectionate, they are
excellent children’s companions that are great with active children. A devoted
friend and guardian, for they are naturally protective. Very lively, agile and
attentive - they are eager to please, with a sixth sense about what the owner
wants. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and easy to train. Though
aggressive when at work with livestock, the Aussie is gentle with human friends.
Australian Shepherds needs lots of exercise and a job to do, as the breed is
very intelligent, active and easily bored. They can become nervous and
destructive if left alone too much without exercise. They are naturally
suspicious of strangers, so they should be well socialized as puppies. Working
lines of Australian Shepherds may be too energetic to be suitable pets. Some
like to nip people’s heals in an attempt to herd them. They are quiet workers,
unlike some breeds, which are bred to bark constantly at livestock. This breed
is not usually dog aggressive.
