Dear Mr Crowe, First, thank you for giving the world some of the best performances that modern cinema has produced. My favorite, or one of my favorites, of you, is in Master and Commander at the Far Side of the World. You have docked in Brazil, I believe, and you are tempted to stay over, but know you have to sail on. You see the island girl looking up at you, and look at her again, and then again. Every man in the world was in that place at some time in his life and regretted not staying one more night or whatever. What I would like to say is that I think a good career move for you would be to go back to the streets of LA, in an upgrade of your role in Usual Suspects. You need to get back to the lean and mean young Russel and do a thriller of all thrillers. Show us the space in your actor's mind you've been hiding away until now. Thanks for the slang. Be well -
After a sleepless night, I told an Aussie friend I was tossing all night. His wide-eyed look was strange , until he explained. I only meant I was restlessly turning around in bed, unable to sleep. His definition was actually more exciting. (maybe I should have tried that). I might have slept better.
You know a video is good when you find yourself just sitting there listening, not looking at the time, and then it's been over ten minutes...! Go Russel, excellent descriptions.
A Furphy is not "a mistake" "A Furphy" is a rumour that may or may not be true and originated in WWI Australian water carriers used "Furphy" water tanks on carts and would pass news along the front line as they delivered water that may or may not be true
Its a rumour that is typically a lie. Hence why many people, like myself, are used to using it or having it said, in a straight out lying only context.
I always thought "ropeable", meaning livid or very angry, was a proper English word until I moved to the UK. No, it's just an Australian and possibly a NZ word. There are so many examples that come up when you live abroad as an Aussie. Other words like "petrol bowser", "boom gate", "high beam", "breakdown lane", "whipper snipper", "crook", "sedan", and so many others that just result in blank looks. Oh and if you're an Aussie in the UK, I wouldn't use the expressions "I feel seedy" or "that gives me the shits" as they don't mean the same thing at all.
Nisha K both make sense 🤗 just because people in the US do something doesn’t mean everyone else needs to do it the same way 😂 or that one or the other is wrong

A mate of mine dared me to spaypaint a giant Dik n Balls on the side of the local Booze Bus lol they drove around with it on for almost a week before realizing what they were advertising lol
Billabong is a winding river where one of the bends gets eroded away at the neck, leaving a circular section in the river. Not what Mr Crowe described. Google it.
Pretty cool Rusty but the term "CHUR" means okay or approval of something. Example 1; Hows it going bro? Answer CHUR (okay) 2. Nice car bro? Answer CHUR. You can also use it to say Hello to each other too Maori fellas use this as a greeting. Example 1st guy: Chur 2nd guy Chur. Greeting 🤣
