4. Oh LORDY. She was showing off her paintings.
That's only true in the UK, in the United States it's a "gang symbol" and if the tongue is used it's something quite vulgar. Otherwise I think that's just ridiculous...

5. And a big Eff You in Australia too.
Loosely translated it actually means. "Still got them Frenchy." It refers to the two fingers used to draw the dreaded English longbow.
