The Zondervan Academic team is taking a roadtrip this week with New Testament scholar, Michael Bird. If you've ever read his blog, Euangelion, you know that Michael is as funny as he is insightful. Keep an eye on the blog this week for videos with Michael (and on the Zondervan Academic Facebook page for the continuing adventures of Dr. Luther).

As an Australian I am not only embarrassed but I would like to say I have never heard anyone use the word gucci! Sheila is derogatory, and sticky beak comes from the 50's!
I would also like to point out that there is an L in Australia!

Sorry Mike, that probably read a bit harsher than I meant it! ;-)

Australians have the coolest accents.

I'm not where you're from Mark but maybe Mike being from Queensland influences things.
I still use sticky beak (which can be a noun or a verb) and I heard Sheila a lot in a non-derogatory way. But "guci" ... no, sorry, Mike, I don't recall that being part of Australian vernacular. Did you learn that one in the army (maybe from a guy in artillery who'd tested a few too many mortars?)?

Idioms... gotta love 'em. Dr. Bird is a English exegete, too.
Posted by: Josh Mann | Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 08:56 PM
Fellas,
"Gucci" is a well-known idiom in the Australian Army. But I admit it is not frequent in wider Australian linguistic usage.
Posted by: Mike Bird | Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 09:20 PM
So your teaching Americans how to speak a unique dialect of Australian English! That'll help them when they come down under! :)
But hey, we're from Queensland. We have our own dialect anyway. I don't know another state where kids take their lunch and books to school in a "port" which is placed on a "port rack". Queenslanders swim in cozzies and let's not get started about what the various states call the small red sausages!
Keep up the good work mate!
