# 992 Taking the piss

# 992 Taking the piss

No I don't mean going to the toilet for some number one-sies, I'm referring to what we Aussies call taking-the-mickey, cracking-a-joke, sending-it-up. Taking the piss!!
It's our light hearted way of taking something which is fine in its own right and making it all kinds of MORE AWESOME! Having a go at something for a laugh.

Exhibit A (and a nice one for the festive season)
LMFAO's "Sexy & i know it" film clip.



Exhibit B
The Aussie taking-the-piss version of LMFAO's "Sexy & i know it" film clip.
Awesome.

# 1000 Super Bright Cash

Australian currency, well the notes anyway, are AWESOME.

In 1988 , the year we celebrated our bi-centenary the country got just a little bit excited. It was decided the Aussie landscape of our currency notes was a bit dull and needed some sprucing up.

Enter the Fiver, The Blue Heeler, The Red Back , The Pineapple and the Greenback.

Psychedelic Polymer banknotes!

They are SUPER Bright coloured, recyclable, much cleaner than paper money and can survive a spin in the washing machine intact.

Other than Queen Elizabeth on the $5 , it's pretty safe to assume a lot of Australians don’t have a clue who the people are on our currency. But who needs to know when you can spot what note it is from 50 meters away!

Aussie Money is AWESOME
