    They're actually called prawns down under. So the quote is stupid. No one in AUS has actually said this, ever.
    It was changed for an Austrailan tourism commercial in the US, since it was believed that American tourists wouldn't know what the a prawn was. To be fair, Paul Hogan orignally said it, though he was probably not in Australia when he said it.

    mods should ban australians from making threads, expecially the bandwagoners who came on board when mills was sign....
    why should we get banned for supporting an aussie making it in one of the best teams in the NBA, let alone even making it to the NBA which is rare.. Patty deserves respect, even more so, because his doing it to rep Australia and Aboriginal kids..

    So if you don't respect us, then I would seriouslyremove ur flag underneath ur avatar cuz its disgusting how you show no aussie spirit.

    A spur is a sharp projection from the main. As in a bone or mountain spur. Is the main. The seconadry is a motivational device for large animals typically horses. This is the meaning the team uses. Initially spurs were simply semi sharp projections worn on boots and this is still true in some areas, the projections on fighting birds are also called spurs. The version the team uses have a many pointed wheel called a rowel. Spur can also be used as a verb meaning to use a set of spurs and or to cause something.

    That ties in to the fact that the original chapparral had a "spur" projection. Also, original owners Angelo Drossos, John Schaefer and Red McCombs suffered from plantar fasciitis - i.e. bone spurs. So did Duncan a few years ago.

    It all ties in.
