EMOs
You learn a lot on BE. Before this morning I didn't know what an Emo was and now know it is the collective noun (you know, like a murder of crows) for disaffected teenage youth wearing horizontal striped jumpers, skin tight black denim, Converse All Stars and lashings of black masscara.
Habitat is generally close to fast food outlets, notably Hungry Jacks in Queen Street Mall in Brisbane. Despite location, it appears that most emos actually eat little food. Depsite their skin tight jeans they still, however, manage to show about 6 inches of some cheapo Big W 'sateen' boxer between said jeans and ill fighting T shirts.
Not sure how widely spread they are but also spotted in Perth. May be venomous but have been known to give directions in absence of same advice from local police officers.

Re: EMOs
An American lady asked me what an 'Emo' was the other day whilst I was on the local lookout. Finally I realised she meant an 'emu'.

Also dyed black hair worn across face making walking difficult, hence sullen expression.

That's one of those things with Roy Hudd's arm attached to its nether regions isn't it? Or was it Rod Hull, always get those two mixed up - one a humorous comedian with a carrer spanning some 30 years and the other a lump on the backside of an emu.
Am i right in thinking Rod Hull died when falling from his own roof whilst trying to improve his TV reception?
Sorry, I seem to be mixing thread topics again....

I have considered buying one of those learn English tapes made by an Aussie and practicing for hours each day so at least I'm understood *sigh*.

You'd certainly think he was used to a bad reception after years of that outdated act...
Did Emu (or an Emo) do it?
