<br>Subject: Oz Catch Phrase in the making
<br>
<br>The Australian Football League, practitioners of a very popular local
<br>code which combines Rugby and Gaelic football, ran a TV campaign about
<br>12 months ago which had sports "stars" like John McEnroe saying things
<br>like "These guys call the ref names and get away with it? I'd like to
<br>see that" The second sentence being a common format to each.
<br>
<br>This appears to be becoming a catch phrase, often employed in "letters
<br>to the editor" contexts.
<br>
<br>>From a suburban newspaper:
<br>
<br>"Hopefully the "blokey" image of SOCOG and other Olympic organisations
<br>can be rectified before 2000!
<br>Mr Richardson needs to have a mayoress appointed to "balance" the
<br>Olympic village style.
<br>I'd like to see that!"
<br>
