Andy the Australian Accountant"Gidday mate, good to see ya! Did you see the game last night? That ref ought to be kicked out of the league! I actually think he might be blind, fair dinkum. Fair dinkum? That's something all of us Aussies say, fair dinkum, and no exceptions!" |

The best response to build rapport:Right on, that ref was out of line. He's a flaming drongo! Correct! This line is good because it mirrors Andy's language patterns. He is speaking in a colloquial manner which is a strong mirroring point. It is especially important to not take a more formal speaking manner than someone who is trying to be friendly, because it is a sign of rejection and condescention.
