Irreverence?
No respecter of authority the Aussie larriken is the stuff of legends. There's a certain vicarious thrill experienced by Ron, Gordie or Bazza at seeing company executives fisticuffing away on the street or giving the Bronx Cheer to pompous Colonel Blimps.
However a funny thing happens where kids are involved ;this is where irreverent behaviour is not the done thing. In the womb, Aussie foetuses are already genetically equipped with footy boots, tennis racquets,cricket bats and budgie smugglers. They are then moulded and shaped by the elder generations based on sporting models and heroes. This is where larrikenism stops. Dead in its tracks.
Bad show , Nick! (Kyrgios).Not a good example for kids. The fact that he is temperamental hasn't helped..if he were to win a bit more might it be a different story?
