I'm afraid I don't understand this. Can you explain to me what that means and why it sounds Australian?

If you say it out loud, it sounds like an Australian saying "G'day, Mate".

Thanks!
Does "Good Eye Might" mean anything, or is it just to sound Australian? It doesn't make sense to me. :O

No, it doesn't mean anything. It's just three words that when spoken quickly together, sound like an Australian saying G'day, mate.

Yes, scifan is right! It is all about the phonetics of those words. The words themselves mean nothing....they are only there to supply the phonetics. It might sound very different with your accent? I'm not sure but I have a sneaky suspicion that your accent is making it hard for you to understand what it's all about! HAPPY birthday!!!did you get my emails?

It seems to me I took all the fun out of your post, because I didn't understand it. Sorry!

Yes, all of them, thank you!

I was trying to translate the words. That was the problem. It's not my accent that made it hard to understand, it's because of my native language.

I get that now! I only partially got the first time. Translating the words in to German would leave me even more confused!
Glad you sorted that out!
