We never named ourselves "Down Under" It's other countries!

We actually don't like that term, and have never encouraged its use. You say it must be embarrassing, yes it is when you don't want to be called that!

Lol, we never call ourselves that unless we're using it as a joke. We just call it Australia, or Oz. Never Down Under.

Australians have never used the term 'down under' because Aus isn't 'down under' to them, it's just normal. It's Americans that came up with that term.

I have never heard an Australian refer to Australia as 'down under' and yes it is embarrassing so fucking American people should stop saying it!

wait, why do the Australians call it Oz?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(allybally :)): Because we're lazy. Why bother with three syllables when we can just say the first one? That said, I've never really called it Oz.
