Well ... it'll be useful when I watch Masterpiece Theatre, maybe. (I never knew gormless wasn't normal American usage. Then again, I never thought it meant quite that, either. Been misusing it all these years. Drat. On the other hand, the possibilities for truly massive Australian/American miscommunication at a delicate time are really interesting, in a sort of weird way; I can't imagine what would happen if an Aussie asked an American for some Durex in the office. And I certainly never heard of mud-shark before; I don't care if it IS supposed to be American slang.)
