Hello! Just wanted to clarify that Steph and I both come from bogan families too, and our intentions in framing P&P this way was to totally celebrate that via Austen's excellent skewering of class stereotypes. Of course if intentions were wishes were horses then beggars would ride, we may have failed in expressing that and totally missed the mark, but we wanted to let everyone know that we were celebrating from within, not leveling derision from without.

A root rat is someone who enjoys sexy times behaviour with a vast variety of partners. It is a charmingly unisex term and can be used to refer to anyone you think is a bit of a slutbag.

Oh my, it is 4.30am Australian Eastern Standard time so I am a little woozie, but I'm so pleased everyone seems to be enjoying such abundant Bennett sheilas and equally proliferate Australian slang! I am of course more than happy to provide definition of any of the terms used here for the greater benefit of non-Australians. ENRICH YOUR LEXICON TODAY!
