Yes! There are people who "Australianise" their decorations, but that's not Christmas to me. Christmas in July is kind of popular - people have Christmas food, not so much decorations, to take advantage of the winter feel2 -

I had a pair of Adidas kangaroo football cleats once; they were awesome
Probably. They sell kangaroo ball coin purses in tourist shops...1 -

My favourite Aussie wording is how we'll always say the opposite of what we mean. Example:
If you're having a bad day...
"How's it goin'?"
"Not to good mate, not to good."
If you're having a good day...
"How's it goin'?"
"Aw yeah, not too bad"
It's like we can't be completely committed to if it's a good or bad day until it's over.3 -
So does kangaroo taste like chicken? Anything out of the ordinary here in the States we say tastes like chicken ie dog,cat, rattlesnake, ect.0

No, nothing like chicken. It's red meat, with a strong taste. It kind of stinks actually, but it's ok when cooked in to things. I'm not a massive fan of it cooked as a steak1 -

Does it drive you crazy when you tell people from a different country that you're from AUS and they say "Oh! Do you know so-and-so?"1

Was hoping for something more colorful like "He needs that like a 3rd armpit"1
