Stuff Australian people like.. Ending words in a vowel!

There is a noticeable connection between Australian people's habit of shortening words and ending said words in a vowel. For example.. Chrissie : Christmas, Cockie : cockroach. There are some exceptions to this of course, like Hoon : hooligan, but you would need to search long and hard to find such examples.

Some have speculated that due to the english language being wide spread in it's geography and use, some words ending in a consonant have snuck in under the radar. A few of these infiltrators are tolerated as inconvenient but no great threat to the people as a whole.

There is evidence, although inconclusive, that if this phenomenom were to grow any larger from it's current negligible percentage, there could be a national depression leading to, among other things, indifference, sadness and quite possibly violent outlashings. This however would be unacceptable to the gatekeepers of the Australian people, also knows as Bogans.

Thus the bogan is constantly working at shortening words and making sure they end in a vowel as often as possible, this is probaly the most work a bogan will ever participate in their entire lives.
