Well look at it this way...you only got to buy one type of clothes! No summer shirts/winter shirts...no summer jackets/winter coats....think of the money you save!

nah - I think Australia is only refered to as "down under" - am I right?

I just call the US: The states

I find using "America" to be too confusing - as I refer to america as the whole thing (South America, Canada etc. included)

Don't really have a colloqial (sp?) name for you guys, what do you guys call the U.S.?

Well Big, from up here we call the continental United States the "Lower 48"
(Hawaii is just called Hawaii)

We don't refer to it as America too much. We do say Central America or South America. Canada is Canada and Mexico is Mexico.

Well in the "lower 48" we just refer to it as the US, no special term. The only place I know of with a "special term" is the Republik of Kalifornia, and that is sell explanitory
