Ants that have the ability to *jump* (so called bulldog ants)...

You have some amazingly hot chicks that look stellar in bikinis!

Oh, rather I should have said amazingly hot sheilas that look stellar in bikinis!

You guys are the big guns in the South Pacific.

Your beer is almost as good as Canadian beer.

Your sailors can drink almost as much as Canadian sailors.

Your winter is superior to Canada's winter.

Australians are usually a friendly lot.

The word "OI" should not be used to hail a mate in polite company.

You have some tyrannical video game laws.

Sydney has some great steakhouses!

Your winter is superior to Canada's winter.

Does that mean better or worse? It doesn't really snow here (Except for a few isolated places) and the winters are cold as shit (in the south) due to the relatively low humidity. Come to think of it during the summer in the desert the nights often get to sub zero temperatures, boiling in the day and freezing at night.

The jumping ants are known as Jack-Jumpers.

I have only ever known them as "Jumping Jacks". Maybe its a Victorian thing?

Hang on, are talking about the same ant?

You mean the black ones with the orange mandibles? About the length of a fingernail? Jump around when you piss them off?

Down here in Tassie they're generally referred to as Jack-Jumpers.
