Man, you Aussies would pull your fucking hair out if you ever heard the radio ads for "Outback Streakhouse". Just imagine the strongest, most annoying exaggerated Australian accent in the world, with the whole add peppered with "bonzer" and "sheila" every 5 fucking seconds.

The Outback is quality eating for college students. I'll thank you not to take our equivalent of a five-star meal for granted.

Mister Kast speaks the complete truth. I LIVE for a king-sized slab of beef and a "Bloomin' Onion." Actually, I'd say that it's pretty good food by ANY standard. Huge amounts of meat and grease and sauce, MM MMM!

Mind you, you should hear some of the ads for Irish pubs that we have to put up with over here.
After all, this is completely straightforward. What could possibly go wrong?

Don't get me wrong; the food is great (Rockhampton Rib-Eye!!) but the commercials are annoying!

Outstandingly good. Also used as a noun meaning ‘something outstandingly good of its kind’. Bonzer is possibly an alteration of the American bonanza, or from French bon ‘good’. In the early records the spelling bonzer alternates with bonser, and it is just possible that it is from British dialect bouncer ‘anything very large of its kind’. First recorded 1904.
Hundred-year-old slang. The term is no longer in common use.
