A note to non-Australians

[deird_lj]

Whenever I see you guys talk about "rooting for someone", I start snickering - much in the fashion of a teenage boy.

"Rooting"? Over here, it's the crudest way you could possibly discuss having sex.

Feel free to keep saying it (after all, it's a perfectly legitimate word for you guys) but please be aware of the effect it's having on Aussies...

So, "Root, root, root for the hoooooome team," is even more meaningful and dedicated down under? *snickers back atcha*
