trash etiquette

The question whether you are allowed to put your trash into your neighbor's trash bin after they have wheeled it out for collection.

Normally a neighbor's trash bin already wheeled out for collection is fair game. However proper etiquette is that your trash should not smell and be secured in a strong bag, so as not to stink out their bin.

Tim: Hey Joan, we've got some extra trash this week - I notice Graham's already put out his bin - you reckon he'd mind?

Joan: As long as you use proper trash etiquette.

State of Origin

A series of 3 Rugby League games held each year in Australia between teams from New South Wales and Queensland.

Started in 1980, the series has achieved legendary status and is now the showpiece of world rugby league. Teams are selected from the best players in the NRL, based on where the players played their junior rugby league. As a result the matches are usually filled with exciting plays, individual brilliance and memorable tries.

A similar concept was attempted by the AFL during the 1980's but failed dismally.

SOO (abbrev.) Individual matches are referred to as SOO1, SOO2 and SOO3.

Hey Davo, do you remember that Mark Coyne try in State Of Origin '94? What a ripper!

vettel

(verb) To knock your teammate out of a Formula 1 race by veering into him on purpose, when you're running 1-2. Usually happens because you are jealous of his previous victories and are sick of seeing him to finish on the podium.

Did you see that? Lewis Hamilton almost vettelled Jenson Button.

depoop

Verb. To remove a prawn's digestive system during the shell peeling process.

A prawn (or shrimp) will normally shit itself when it realises it has just been thrown into boiling water or on a barbecue. Therefore after the prawn is cooked, and you peel off the shell, you will find a string of black stuff running down its back. This can be easily removed by digging the index finger in just behind its head, grabbing the black string-like thing and pulling down towards the tail. This is commonly known as "depooping".

Hey, did you depoop this prawn? I see black stuff !!
