The 'Ask JimAndFrank Thread' Cause Why Not?

I take it that it means something totally different down there than Americans think it means, or is it similar to what we call "four-lettered words" (not exactly swear words, but not quite clean either)?

'Thunderbox' means 'toilet', but we usually just call it a 'loo' or a 'dunny'. Thunderbox is a fairly stupid name.

I was under the impression that's what it meant, but I wasn't aware that it was apparently stupid, lol. Then again, America has a problem with cutesy abbreviations for words because people are too lazy to say actual words.

Aussies are the rulers of shortening words due to laziness.

Is it true that in Australia there's always a spider near you, and the birds are creepy-looking?

Yes and no, the bird's aren't creepy looking, but magpies do give you a creepy look just before they dive-bomb you and try to poke your eyes out for getting too close to their nests in spring.
