Big Brother Australia...A Bludger and A Dag



First word of the day..."Bludger".

This is Aussie slang for "a lazy person that always relies on others to do things for him", and is an accurate description of manchild Rohan, whose shiftless ways got him nominated for eviction by his fellow housemates.


The simplest tasks overwhelmed Rohan. Preparing food was too stressful. Setting the table for a meal was insurmountable because the concept of placemats was as baffling to him as long division is to a kid still learning simple addition and subtraction. And he can forget a career at Baskin Robbins unless he learns to take a proper ice cream order.

Our second word of the day is "Dag", which is Aussie slang for "a funny person or goof".


Xavier began his Big Brother experience as a "happy-go-lucky" dag that took to prison life in the Halfway House with good form, only to become "snappy" (which means the same thing in Australia that it does here) the following week. One bad week spent picking verbal arguments with the wrong people (Tully and Heidi) and offending his new friend Tim by sucking up to the "meatheads and the models" got him nominated.

What got him evicted? It seems that Tully's incessant whining is more entertaining to four percent more of the voting population of Australia than Xavier's silliness. Go figure.
