      intr.v. forged, forg·ing, forg·es
      1. To advance gradually but steadily: forged ahead through throngs of shoppers.
      2. To advance with an abrupt increase of speed: forged into first place with seconds to go.
      Therefore we sped into first place and it is marked forever in gold

        It's funny how one word can mean so many different things. Like forge. It's a big factory, a swindle or a rush to get ahead.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

              The English language is Terrible in that way, apparently the worst to learn.. That's an example I suppose on why.

                Actually we can blame the French. Or the Normans to be exact. After the invasion of 1066 the Norman invaders refused to use the same word for most objects that the Saxon invaded used. They thought it was below them.

                  Then, because it wasn't complicated enough, America started changing consonants and deleting vowels.

                    We do a bit of that ourselves. We use a combination of the British and US variations just to make a little more complicated.

                      The Australian language was quite good slang before the tv channels started with American soaps and news shows, now the spelling is butchered and a lot of americanisms have come across .. Pet hate offence and DEE fence or aloominum instead of aluminium, took me years to figure out they were the same thing.
                      I could go on but sadly Australia has lost a lot of its slang.
                      Maybe bring in a real aussie quote .. " become a bulldog member and avagoodweekend"

                        Not bad Ledge.

                        A lot of words we would consider American slang appear in books like The Sentimental Bloke and The Moods of Ginger Mick and literature doesn't come more 'capital A' Australian than CJ Dennis.
