It's no different to Dr Terry getting all bent out of shape about the term "Styleside".
It's not Australian and it's WRONG. Bloody missus said "Sidewalk" yesterday....

Before you know it there'll be an argument over pots and schooners

WTF is a pot? Isn't that something little kids sit on?

[Alien DNA]

Pots are about 285ml of beer, schooners are about 350ml I think....not to be confused with the potty

[HK1837]

Schooner is 425mL here. Middy is the 285mL glass

[Dr Terry]

What's all this 'ml' bullsh1t ?

A middy is 1/2 pint & a schooner is 3/4 pint.

Although I believe that the 1/2 pint glass is called a schooner in SA, is that right ?

I don't actually get "bent out of shape". It's just like sidewalk & diaper, they're not Australian !!

Isn't a ute a ute ? Why does 'styleside' need to be added ?

Dr Terry

[Dr Terry]

Grrr !!

I don't go there very often, but I ventured over to oldholden.com & the first thing I see is somebody talking about a "well body" ute.

WTF is that & how does it differ from a styleside or a normal ute ?

Last time i checked Australia has vans utes and one tonners and foot paths
no stylesides no well bodys and no sidewalks
bloody hell

[Valencia]

And its a bloody middy or a pint of beer
end of rant

[adam perth]

the 285 ml is a 10 ounce beer!! ... The West Australians call it a middy..... but it gets confusing, when I first moved over here and drinking mid strength you had to ask for a middy of mid strength!..
In Tassy it was a 6, 8 or 10 ounce beer (10 oz with or without handle) and a schooner is the big glass 425 ml
