Did you see the episode on "Vipers" the other night??? Well, he was handling all the usual viper snakes, but THEN...he visited an Air Force base and flew in an F-14 Viper jet fighter!! they took him to 8+ G's (G-force) and he passed out...it was pretty crazy!!!

Kitari Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Okay so I'm not Australian, but I did grow up in a British household and the slang is sort of the same. "Croikie" or "Crikey" as the English would say is a slang/reduction of "Jesus Christ" that makes it sound so much cooler and a bit less blasphemous! Bit like "Bloody 'ell" or if your Northern Irish, saying "Fickin" instead of Fuckin. And that, boys and girls, is your insanely ficked up Common Wealth Language lesson for today.

Douglas Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 LOVE your new avatar! LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! Does anyone really know what "croikey" means? Is it like saying "holy shit batman"? Whenever I watch croc hunter, I try to substitute "croikey" with what I would say if I were the ultimate croc fighter! And a big hello to you too, h!
