Fritz is rugby league country. Devon southern Australia. Polony in WA.

It's one of the language markers you can use to separate Australian English into dialects.

How the Barassi Line doesn't have more land mines and armed encampments per square metre than the North/South Korean border is nothing short of a miracle!

What is the Barassi Line?

Did you know there is a globally unique line that divides Australia's sporting fans? Deakin's Hunter Fujak explores the Barassi Line.

...A particular eccentricity of the Australian sporting landscape is that, culturally, our football codes remain strongly tied to their geographic origins.


Australian rules originates from Melbourne, with the southwestern states as heartlands. The rugby codes made their Australian sporting debut in Sydney, with northeastern states as heartlands.


This phenomenon was dubbed “the Barassi Line” in 1978, describing a cultural dividing line based on football preference proposed to run from Eden, NSW, through Canberra and up to Arnhem Land. The term was first used by historian Ian Turner in his Ron Barassi Memorial Lecture that year...

That would play a part.

Straz (short for strassburg) and devon were two separate things. We had both.

We also had presswurst in the house quite a bit:

Looks similar to what I fed my kittens this morning.

“Pork German” was a rather nasty surprise meat.

Brawn is great. Made from simmered Pretty Collar (pork neck) or pork hocks or split head.
