Not only the language but greetings in the form of particular handshakes that one may see in a rap video, etc. I occasionally remind the students that we are actually living in Australia. It never ceases to amaze when I see fashions inspired by US music and culture that incorporate beanies, hoodies, etc on a hot summer's day down at the beach. Fair enough mate, fashion is fashion, but heavy jackets when it is 35 degrees celsius? Even some of my colleagues frequently sprinkle their conversation with idioms courtesy of the Simpsons.
