No Australian has ever christened their son with the first name of our estwhile host Mr. Petersen.

A young man given that name here would likely never last it through high school, and would legally change it by deed poll the moment he could. I'm sure the OZ readers here will concur on that.

And to tell an Australian woman "she has a nice fanny" will probably have you arrested here. A very different meaning to the US version.
