During my days surveying for oil in central Australia I worked in a camp
with several Australians. Some of them did indeed use the expression
"Come on, mate, don't come the raw prawn with me" usually when I told
them that Canada was a far better country than Australia. I also
discovered what the Great Australian Adjective really is.
