According to stereotype, spoken Australian English is thought to be highly colloquial, possibly more so than other spoken variants. Whether this idea is grounded in reality or not, a substantial number of publications aimed at giving an overview of Australian English have been published. Many books about Australian vocabulary have been published, beginning with Karl Lentzner's Dictionary of the Slang-English of Australia and of Some Mixed Languages in 1892. Several similar books soon followed, including a relatively modest but authoritative work by E. E. Morris: Austral English: A Dictionar ...

The story is told mostly from the point of view of Kitty Pryde, who is the newest recruit of the X-Men. Professor X introduces her to her colleagues, who are fighting in the Danger Room. Present are Cyclops, Colossus, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Storm and Wolverine. Kitty is afraid of Nightcrawler because of his inhuman appearance. In the meanwhile, the X-Men's archenemy Magneto breaks free from a prison transport, courtesy of his Brotherhood of Mutants (here renamed the Brotherhood of Mutant Terrorists) consisting of White Queen, J ...

Many distinctive Australian words have been driven into extinction or near extinction in recent decades under the homogenising influence of mass media and imported culture, because of changes in fashion, or have fallen into disuse as society changes. Those who like or use these words regret their passing but informal vocabulary is by nature ephemeral. Some examples: block – as in 'do the block', to parade around or be on display, especially in public bodgie - bad or poor quality (adjective) or; a ...

Australian words - Cricket. The game of cricket is immensely popular in Australia and has contributed a rich vein of slang to Australian English. Some of this is shared with rival cricketing nations, like the Poms and the Kiwis. Australians can be bowled over (taken by surprise), stumped (nonplussed) or clean bowled or alternatively hit for six (completely defeated). When answering questions, one can play a straight bat (or a dead bat) (give a noncomm ...

In January 2002, Marvel Comics began publishing a manga-style comic book series partially based on the show. It was abruptly cancelled after the 12th issue. X-23, an original character introduced in the later part of the show, first appeared in comic books in NYX, albeit in a slightly different version than in the cartoon, and got her own self-titled comic series in 2005. Much like Harley Quinn of Batman: The Animated Series, a character created for the cartoons has entered comic continuity. Rece ...

X-Men: Evolution is set in the generic city of Bayville. Contrary to most X-Men continuity, it is not clearly established where the city of Bayville is located, but we are led to believe it may be in the New York area. Furthermore, in the early part of the series (until the end of season 2) most people are unaware of the existence of mutants. It is also important to note that "The Brotherhood" team is not known as "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" within the context of this series. They are not a team of terrorists or mutant supremacists, instead, The Brotherhood is made ...

The cartoon met with mixed reaction. While the animation was top-notch (especially for the late eighties), several points were criticised as being arguably campy, even downright cheesy: The opening melody was perceived as childish - a far cry from the catchy tune of X-Men: The Animated Series three years later. Kitty Pryde was constantly portrayed as a hapless damsel in distress - although her comic counterpart had become a tough ninja assassin. Wolverine talked with a thick Strine accent although he is ...

A common feature of traditional Australian English was rhyming slang, based on Cockney rhyming slang and imported by migrants from London in the 19th century. Rhyming slang consists of taking a phrase, usually of two words, which rhymes with a commonly used word, then using the first word of the phrase the represent the word. For example "Captain Cook" rhymes with "look", so to "have a captain cook," or to "have a captain," means to "have a look." Rhyming slang was often used to create euphemistic terms for obscene words. In recent years this feature of Australian English has ...
