Well? Whadaya think it is... bush week?

And so, is my blog. Kinda funny you know... that saying has been around in my family for years. Don't know who picked it up, or from where, but it managed to manifest itself into my vocabulary and become a random saying said once too often.

So what the hell does it mean?

According to WikiAnswers:
"People who live in the Aussie 'bush', ie: in the country regions of the nation, are considered by city people as their mental inferiors. Hence, 'Bush week' (when country people supposedly come to town) is postulated as the reason for unexplainable, weird or silly happenings" 
Hmm. Not sure how my ol' town folk gonna feel 'bout that response.

And according to VampireRave.com (don't ask me what kinda site it is - ask Google):
"Which means the speaker isn't easily fooled or deceived. It is usually a response to a questionable statement or unreasonable request." 

Still... it kinda suggests those from the non-metro areas may be somewhat a little simpler than their metro neighbours. Either way, it's a hysterical saying and it now the title of this blog.

And there you have it. Feel free to drop a line if you've found a definition of the saying that you think is worth publishing. I could spend time rummaging through the crap that Google populated when searched for the term, but ah, who's got time.

So, thanks for reading. Enjoy your stay.
