A lesson in Australian:
When an Australian calls someone a "big-noter", he is saying that the person is a chronic and rather pathetic seeker of admiration -- as in someone who often pulls out "big notes" (e.g. $100.00 bills) to pay for things, thus endeavouring to create the impression that he is rich. The term describes the mentality rather than the actual behavior with money and it aptly describes many Leftists. When they purport to show "compassion" by advocating things that cost themselves nothing (e.g. advocating more taxes on "the rich" to help "the poor"), an Australian might say that the Leftist is "big-noting himself". There is a recent example of the usage here. The term conveys contempt. There is a wise description of Australians generally here

About Me
- Unhypentated Canadian
- I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.

oh there you go again with your miserable whining. I thought this was a 'leftie' thing but see you proved yourself wrong again.
You bunch or moronic righteous righters are just incorrigible. You spend your days writing endless bits of drivel bemoaning how what ails everything is the 'lefties'. Oh quit your incessant useless moaning and do something useful for change...
I have seen 'big noters' of all political stripes you bunch of idiots!
If you need more examples look at the lying hypocrites we have in federal government 'big noting' their way through the biggest surplus in history in 2 short years!
They really should rethink the term 'conservative' because they make big spenders look tame in comparison.
I really have to thank you for two major reasons;
1)your comments (I am being charitable) are so similar I don't have to waste time replying to all of your ranting.
2) the tone and the observations (Again I am being charitable) really prove my point.
oh save your charity I certainly don't need it.
You have once again, like you have throughout time, (one only needs to review your responses...) responded the only way you know how. "you proved my point'. What kind of zero response is that? Is that the very best you can do? You whine incessantly about how this human trait or that character defect is only attributed to the left like some kind of hermit that never walks out their front door to realize that people of all political stripes are capable of it, and your only response is 'you proved my point'.
Why the hell bother blogging if you can't carry a conversation beyond that sort of click and grunt shit you see from forum trolls? Both you and idiot flaggman fly off the handle or get just plain moronic when someone disagrees with you! Do I think it's just a conservative thing? No, I enjoy a couple conservative bloggers who can actually carry a conversation! Did you see how Flaggman went off on that woman because he thought she accused him of her losing what she wrote??? Man what a class A goof.
"You prove my point." Walter, you never had a point to begin with. That's why I'm laughing at you. Again.
