Yo doodler, here in Oz (that's a hint about our location in our native slang) we have a whole industry devoted to the importing of 2nd hand japanese cars. We also have a habit of taking shortcuts with words (see above re location) as some people overseas can't say "orstraaayliyaaaah" . We like to keep things simple see, and down here (in "orstraaayliyaaaah") we all know that 'jap imports' is simply a local shortening of the term 'japanese imports', not a slagging off (derogatory expression) of the japanese culture.

CMYX5GO was POLITELY trying to point out that you may have the wrong idea by taking offense when none is intended... or in our language.....

fair dinkum (I am slightly incredulous) you are a nong (fool/idiot).... stop trying to start a barney (argument/fight) about sweet F.A. (*uck all = nothing). You haven't got a clue (no idea) what you're on about (poor knowledge on a subject)

Hoo roo (bye for now)

PS. we also use the term china (country in asia) when addressing a friend as it is shortened/rhyme for (china plate = good mate). try and run THAT one up a flag pole.......
