Nah, perfectly correct response as pure as the driven snow. Brownie Points in Oz
always refers to gaining kudos towards your next merit badge. That at least has not been subverted yet.
Until US TV subverted our national psyche no Aussie had a clue what the F*ck a 'brownie' was besides an annoying pair of girlie kids in Nazi Brown Shirt uniform flogging biscuits (yeah not cookies as confused cultures call them) at your door or something to avoid looking at in the dunny bowl. Now along with the confectionary, the US based web health sites are bombarding us with advice to look in the bowl regularly to assess our 'inner karma' but to avoid eating confectionary 'brownies' at all costs.
No wonder we are so confused and worried about eating **** now!
