Why do the Aussies call the new-zealander sheep shaggers and vice versa?

Answer 1

That's also what some of the English call the Welsh. Probably because the sheeple seem to outnumber the people. They're just yanking their chain.

Answer 2

Australians call kiwis sheep shaggers in the interests of accuracy. New Zealanders call Aussies sheep shaggers because they do not have the imagination to invent their own insults (and, realistically, there is nothing about which to insult Australians).

Answer 3

The answer is simple. When after both of these nations were founded there were not enough women to go around. Sheep were carried on the voyages of those first settlers as a means of fresh meat on the long journey, those sheep that were not eaten were let loose and used by the unmarried settlers for many purposes.

Later different breeds of sheep were introduced to improve the stock. Many of these sheep were imported from the hills of Wales, as these suited the the conditions especially in N.Z. As you can imagine many Welsh men went there to tend the flocks. Funny you never see a Welsh Shepperd without his wellies on.

I Hope that this explains it all.

Answer 4

i thought the sheep-shaggers have been all in Derby. Thats what the Notts woodland followers have been asserting, besides. in spite of, i think of you need to have risk-free practices under the Human Rights Act to persue the activity as long as you provide sufficient training to the sheep approximately their rights and availability of knowledgeable counsellors. The persons who suggested the insult will, fairly needless to say, be subject to arrest, thinking, a criminal checklist and deportation if obtainable. The interior of reach council will divert money from the wellness facility on your area to establish a 'Sheep-shagger information team' and rent a representative to combat on your rights. you need to anticipate repayment for the harm and psychological injury the incident brought about.

Answer 5

If you're into rugby union and know about the tri-nations competition the new Zealanders ( All blacks ) are the " sheep shaggers ", the Australians ( Wallabies ) are the "shackle draggers " ( because of thier convict heritage ) and the South Africans ( Boers........ I think it's the proteas actually ), are the " bone tossers " .
