It might be a good idea to read a thread before posting on it?
Mike had already posted the research quote on the fourth page of this thread
I know I don't often post but I do read

As an example, I heard this, last Sunday,(put on yer best Oz accent)
"Hey `Arry bloke, you Pommy Cult! How are you farkin goin mate, flat out like a farkin lizard drinking or what, ye cult? Are ye geddin enough mate are ye? Hey, are ye? Farkin looks like you are. Lacky farkin barsted. Get this farkin tinnie India ya cult! Look at that farkin Sheila, mate, what?
Talk about two puppys under the blanket! `Strewth mate, I`ve gorn all stiff"
Mind you, that was the Padre, after church parade
Mrs Aitch was the picture of "Genteel Refainment" as she smiled, demurely at the Padre. Out of the corner of her mouth, she whispered" Tell the w4nker to fark off `arry, `e`s starting to get on me tits"
Aye,
Great story!:D I'm from Detroit. Bring me up to speed. What's a "cult"? A "pommy"? "Get this farkin tinnie India ya cult!" No idea what that whole sentence meant.
In England is it "ass" or "arse"? Over here, w*anker ain't even a cuss word. What does "strewth" mean?
I realize you guys speak the Kings English but now I understand why we had to change it a tad.

Go Bo-Sox.

This is what they mean
Cult = different way of saying a swear word which means womans reproductive organs.
Pommy = australian derogatory name for homosexuals.
"Get this farkin tinnie India ya cult!" = No bleeding idea
Its arse in england
Strewth is a general phrase used when things arent to your liking.
Anything I missed/got wrong?

The only time I have ever heard pommie used was in conjunction with poofta, so I thought the two words meant the same lol
