There are two people in australian history who are not getting their due respect. In all fairness if i had not wondered who was on the $100 note, and hence googled it, i would not know them either. But now that i do, i suggest a new phrase to enter into our slang. Instead of referring to money as "the benjamins" and trying to be american, i think that we should be proud of who and what we have. And in the situation of having a sum of money we should use the phrase "rolling in the nellies"* after Dame Nellie Melba. And although i have overlooked Sir John Monash, it is only because saying "rolling in the johns" does not sound as cool and also comes off a bit queer.
*Must be said with the maximum level of bogan accentuation.
of course in the bogan accent! :D
