scotty guns are often refered to the muscle on your arms. sometimes people call thier muscular arms their guns. hence the joke. ---

Does anyone know why biceps are sometimes called “guns?” I hate that. “Hey man, lemme see your guns.” “Whoa, that guy has huge guns!” wtf??? I refuse to use that term. ---

Yeah, at first I thought it was supposed to be pointing to his boobs, but then I read the text and got the joke. ---

It’d be funny if it was a long sleeve shirt and the Gun Show was written on the sleeves. As it is, it belongs on a tig bittied girl. ---

American humour. Took me a while before I remembered that Seppos call biceps “guns”. So you’re not alone my pommy brethren. (Any more racial slurs I could insert here?) ---

Pom: I’ve never been sure. Some say Prisoner Of Mother England originally. Means English person, in any case. Seppo: Australian rhyming slang. American -\> Yank -\> septic tank -\> seppo. Common in the surfing community. A bit obscure, but probably more widespread than 10-15yrs ago. ---

Wow, Australians have rhyming slang, too? I knew British people did. Er, at least those that speak the C.ockney dialect. ---

Well, 200yrs ago we came from England. Probably a large proportion were Cockneys. So maybe that’s where the influence comes from. Serp might know more, being Scotch and all. ---

Septic has always been popular in the UK, and my granddad said it was from WWII. I think seppo is Irish or Aussie. [Dictionary.com](http://Dictionary.com) says for pommy: Shortening and alteration of pomegranate, Pummy Grant, alterations of Jimmy Grant, probably rhyming alteration of immigrant, and I’ve also heard that it comes from the French slang for us because we eat a lot of potatoes (pommes dsomething terre) which would fit in with ‘lapins’ and ‘rosbif’. Bloody frogs! ---

BTW, whether it’s threppennies or biceps that shirt just isn’t funny. Maybe UK humour is a bit different!😃 ---

UK humour would need the shirt backwards with TP stuck to his shoe with people laughing at him behind his back? Some UK humour I do not get at all, heh. Though I do like the Monty Python movies 😃 Note: I was joking in the first sentence 🙂 ---

Toby has an Australian accent. Hey, what do people from central USA’s accents sound like to you guys? I don’t mean that slow southern USA drawl stuff, I mean the standard American English dialect that is spoken on USA national news. ---

Accents interest me. Out of all the U.S. ones, I least like the “news” one. I find others much more interesting to listen to. E.g. Bostonian, southern drawl, valley girl, trailer park trash. I also kind of dislike the overdone hispanic ones - I don’t like “Holmes” inserted all the time :p. I actually prefer Canadian to American though, eh. Others I like: Scottish (best English accent ever), country Australian, Caribbean (although I know little about them). Ones I don’t: Seth Efrican and thuck Kiwi uccents.
