Can't believe everyone here missed BASTARD ... you dumb bastards
The descriptive term "bastard" has been used in Australia for well over 100 years in various circumstances. One of the most famous occured during the controversial Bodyline (cricket) series of 1932-33, the English captain Douglas Jardine was said to have visited the Australian dressing room to complain bitterly to his counterpart Bill Woodfull that an Australian player had called him a bastard.
Woodfull turned to his team and said: "Which one of you bastards called this bastard a bastard?"
