Fucking Americanisation
What the bloody hell is going on?
Is nothing sacred?
Why is everything becoming Americanised?
The latest disgrace in the Americanisation of Australia is the importation of that damned acronym “SUV”.
The only time that I tend to watch commercial television is during the cricket season and this year it seems that we have stopped referring to 4WDs as 4WDs.. possibly due to the bad connotations that the word conjures up in the mind of the environmentally aware/pedestrian and smaller vehicle safety conscious Australian.
This…
… is a 4WD. It is not an SUV.
Harold Scruby – sit the fuck up and take some notice of this deceitful attempt to get more of these annoying mechanical hulks onto our roads.

I don’t mind hearing SUV instead of 4WD. I’m not an English language nazi, and in fact, I enjoy seeing our language change to reflect sociological changes in our communities. I understand your angst, and I understand that everything evolves.
