The Anarcho Jesse Labor Note.

However, I would argue that the objection is not to money _itself_, but to "love of money", which is the root of much evil.

Envy roots pretty much all the rest.

Bob,

Can I be root? Then all your problems will be over.

Careful, in Aussie slang "root" has a totally different meaning that can't be explained here.

Gus, something to do with root chakra?

Or maybe like the German for "plow a furrow"?

It certainly does, so we'll stick to the accepted Linux meaning.

Curious minds want to know, what's the Aussie meaning? PM me if it's not safe for these boards.

Hans,

Pounds, Shillings*, Dollars [U.S., Canadian or Aussie], Euros or any convertible currencies will do.

ta,

Come on, I promise I will close my eyes while you type it. We are all adults here, how bad could it be? I see worse from the U.S. VPs in public or addrressing a Senator's questioning.

* aka Sterling, but I prefer this spelling it being so fitting.

We may be, but not everyone who comes here is.

The Australian slang dictionary may be of service: http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html

No, no direct link, for the reasons discussed above.

Now I have to consult two dictionaries (the other one being the Urban) before feeling safe to type a word here...

"dictionary"

Or is that also against the TOS?

If a visionary is someone with a grand vision, then a dictionary must be someone with a huge diction.
