I pronounce it like "father" unless I'm referencing Bananas in Pajamas. Then I pronounce it the other way to rhyme. This is the only true way.

but... 'father' *does* rhyme with 'bananas' D:

Hooray for using generic, offensive-to-anybody-not-just-specific-minorities insults!

I'm not convinced that attacking some aspect of a person is going to change anyone's mind, because we've spent basically the entirety of time since language was invented trading 'fat shit' for 'needledick' without anybody suddenly becoming not-a-jerkface. If we instead stick to our generic OTANJSM insults, we can eventually phase out the others, through a sort of herd-immunity-crossed-with-Newspeak thing, because hooray 1984, I guess.

but then, I'm not a sociologist, and maybe I just take a disproportionate amount of delight in describing people as meatbags and/or performance art.

Roast lamb is pretty sweet; like a regular roast, except you dig about stick about 6 inch-deep holes in a leg of it with a paring knife, then jam half a clove of garlic and a sprig of rosemary into each one.

I also use lamb mince (ground lamb if you're silly American) in place of beef mince pretty much anywhere, but that's just because it's often cheaper here in Oz.

Greek-style is marinating in olive oil and lemon juice, then grilling or barbecuing; this works best with the more expensive, boneless cuts.

Lots of people seem to like shepherd's pie; I'm not personally a huge fan, but it's just lamb stew with mashed potatoes on top.

I say y'all all the time, and I'm Australian. I figure, if the American South comes up with a legitimately useful usage of a word that avoids the ambiguity inherent in using 'you' for plural and singular, may as well give it to them.

I also say 'mate, but only really with strangers i.e. when I'm at work. Also only to men, generally.

Today was the last day of semester for uni, so hooray for that.
