Everyone else said, "Didgeridoo?" Which is this:
I said, "Billabong?" Immediately after I said it, I thought, "WTF is a billabong?"
Then Lynne turned to me and said, "What IS a billabong?"
Being in polite company, I said, "Um, I'm not really sure."
Now I know.
What I really want to know is this:
1. Do they really speak English in Australia?
2. What causes those weird connections in your brain to mis-fire and supply a completely wrong word to your tongue that you immediately have to spit out and .5 seconds later wonder if that really was your voice you heard?

That was a joke, right? We speak English quite well, more like the English do, in fact. We don't have weird foreign words like Chicago, Minnesota, Los Angeles or San Diego in our language. :)
Crap. Now I have that brainworm back - Waltzing Matilda. It lasted two days last time.
