If you've heard of the word "Crikey!" and understand what it means, then congratulations... You're one step closer to being a master of the Irwinian vernacular! ^_^

The Columbus Dispatch has attempted to overcome this language barrier by kindly translating some of Steve Irwin's famous phrases into layman-speak...

"Isn't she gorgeous!" = This is a female animal.

"Check out the size of this bloke!" = This is a large animal.

"Have a look at this little beauty!" = This is a dangerous and repellent animal.

"You're OK, mate." = Don't bite me.

"Holy smokes, that was close!" = I barely avoided being bitten.

"Crikey!" = Wow!


Rest in peace mate... ^_^
