The question that stumped God

I have one of the worlds greatest questions ever asked, and I EXPECT Sobek to at least comment on this one. lol

In North America, we refer to Australia as "down under", so...

Do Australians refer to people in the Northern America's as "Up over"???

SEE! THe SWEETEST QUESTION EVER, RACK YOUR BRAINS! RACK I SAY!!!1

I believe I saw this on facebook(correct me if im wrong). All I could do was laugh my arse off. We may be the land down under, but we've never given another country a like term

(And just to be sure, I asked around

) I suppose a few could, but it's not a "thing" if you know what I mean.

Where did you hear this?

Thats a common joke in Canada and the USA, we all wondered. Lol Ill go to school and tell my friends, maybe... you Aussies should start calling us "up over" lol.

Never thought of calling the US "up over" Other words have come to mind over the years

but that wasnt one of them... heheheh.

I dont mind Australia being called the land down under.
I just keep humming that song from "men at work"

I've always known that Austrailia was more than "That 'Men at Work' song", "The Outback" and Fosters beer. (Which you probably can't even buy in Austrailia) Oh dear. I always wanted to know what Austrailia is REALLY like.
