Title
Salute from the Poms (The Sun)
Text
Submitted by Mariketta
Source language: English

We hope that they enjoy their long, long shinding and crack a few tubes for the Poms!
Remarks about the translation
POMS: è l'acronimo con il quale vengono chiamati in tono beffardo gli australiani originari della Gran Bretagna.

E' la frase finale di un articolo di giornale che parla di quando la prima flotta britannica è arrivata in Australia.

Title
Salut des Rosbifs
Translation
French

Translated by Tantine
Target language: French

Nous espérons qu’ils s’amusent pendant leur teuf interminable fiesta et qu’ils éclusent quelques cannettes pour les rosbifs.
Remarks about the translation
"shinding" is probably "shindig" - fiesta, fête joyeuse, bringue...

"crack a few tubes" refers to opening a few cans of beer

"Pom" is Australian slang for British immigrants
