A whole different connotation

I received a message from one of the ancestry sites asking who I would ‘root’ for - England, Wales or Scotland being of mixed ancestry. I did a double take because that means something a whole lot different here in Australia where I have lived for the past 50+ years! Set me thinking of how sometimes there can be misunderstandings between nations. A Moslem friend mentioned it was rude to sit with crossed legs and feet pointing outwards which I hadn’t known. Funny old world.

I have to ask, nann88, what does 'root for' mean in Aus (if you can explain it without getting too graphic!). We're with family in NZ at the moment and I wouldn't want to make a faux pas! I know all about 'gastro' as the gc and their friends seem to come down with it constantly!

Yes - please do tell!

Just looked it up in my Strine Dictionary!

It means having sex 🙂

England, Wales or Scotland
Just say All Three, nanna8
