Adjective that best describes an Aussie
 
Aussies love to use the phrase "whinging Pom" when anybody from UK says anything even vaguely critical about Oz.

So, to redress the balance, anybody got any suggestions for a snappy, put-down term that best describes the average Aussie?

Tres amusant :)

But it reminds me of "mediocre" - another apt adjective
