Silly Question of the Day

In the Australia Day advertising it says something about "having a democratic right to give a dead-arm".

What is a "dead-arm" and why don't I know about this sacred right - or do you need to be a teenage boy to get it?

Hi MG; as the mother of a 15yo boy, I can certainly let you in on the secret :) A dead-arm is the result of one person punching another in the arm really, really hard - the result = a "dead" arm ! Pretty simple, but there it is :) Hope you are having a great weekend.

Thanks TM - I thought it sounded something like teenage boys would get into :-) And I think I will personally skip this 'very' Australian tradition :-)

You have to hit the tendon at the top of your bicep, or is it tricep...as hard as you can, with your knuckles just right...hey I'm the only girl of three brothers...Its short, sharp hard...and you can use stealth ...& often twist arm at same time... and then run like blue blazes
