Enterprise bargaining

1. Where the boss sits you down and tells you how you will be paid. or screwed over, there is no "bargaining"
I prefer to call it "entrprise shafting" and hey, if you don't like it, theres the door.
2. Nothing to do with star trek, Pickard, or Kirk haggling for new phasers.

This enterprise bargaining is so win win, i work an 80hr week for the pay of a 40hr week, fantastic!

XXXX

Beer made in Brisbane. Its popular there, but so are a lot of other things which others may frown upon. It has a lot of chemicals and preservatives used in it due to the Queensland heat, so the taste suffers. Source of many jokes, "Why do queenslanders drink XXXX?"
"Because they cant spell beer"
Etc, etc.

XXXX is ok if its cold, i much prefer it to that VB shit!

Stoke-on-Trent

Recently voted "The worst place to live in all of the U.K." In no way is related to the Australian saying "i'm stoked"

I drove through stoke on trent, it looked like all the buildings needed a good wash to get all the soot off them.

Loud american

The loud american is an obnoxious buffoon, one who, even though may be in a quiet room feels the need to talk at the top of their voice, also known to excessive bragging. Compounded when combined with the Ignorant american

NOTE: Not all americans are loud, some seem to be actually quite normal, it just seems the ones on holiday wherever i am happen to be of the LOUD variety.

I was in an airport waitng area once with about 300 people, i was at one end and at the other a pair of loud americans were clealy audible over everybody else's chatter.

Thong

Australian for cheap rubber footwear, known as flip flopsor jandles in New zealand, dunno what yanks call them.

I laugh when yanks get confused by the sign in aussie pubs that say "no thongs" at the door.
