After extensive research by multiple teams of highly trained and experienced humorists, comedians, academics, and other experts, the main difference was found to be that British humour isn't funny.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I made further modifications calling the "C"unt word the vigina word. I hope that satisfies your politically correct sensibilities.

Nothing more intriguing then a lady that farts; whether South African or Aussie, doesn't matter.

Flawed logic here. If you cannot determine one or the other what makes you believe it's either. There are many other possibilities.

Should have been clearer. I think she is Aussie (granted she could be a Kiwi but's it's same difference)
The Missus thinks she is Saffer.

The word "hoover" for vacuum has never been part of the Aussie idiom except in the Pommy diaspora. This is probably larger in Oz than RSA. The Kiwis use "hoover" more frequently so don't rule out Kiwi.

Of course just like United States inhabitants and Canadians or Texans and Mexicans.

What if she said "Nielfisk"? What would that make her?

Ah, but this changes everything : She is now definitely Saffer. Even if she is Aussie.

Maybe she's a Kiwi! Or Zimbabwean. Or from Luton.
