True Blue Aussie

Hm. I'm becoming Australian-ized. (Not surprising: been here eight years.)

When something goes missing, I no longer say that it's "gone missing".

I say that it's "gone walkabouts".

("Anyone seen my pen? Seems to have gone walkabouts.")


Got the phrase from my wife -- but it's pretty standard.
