In General:
  
1.       Never take an open stubby to a job interview...  Stubbie - Small beer bottle
  
2.       Always identify people in your paddocks before shooting at them.
 
3.       It's tacky to take an Esky to church. Esky - cooler with ice in it
 
4.       If you have to vacuum the bed, it's time to change the sheets.
 
5.       Even if you're certain you're included in the will, it's rude to take your ute and trailer to the funeral. Ute - Small truck, utility vehicle
 
Eating Out:
  
1.       When decanting wine from the box, tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to bruise the wine.
  
2.       If drinking directly from the bottle, hold it with only one hand.
  
Entertaining at Home:
  
1.       A centrepiece for the table should never be anything prepared by a taxidermist..
  
2.       Don't allow the dog to eat at the table, no matter how good his manners.
  
Personal Hygiene:
  
1.       While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this should be done in private, using one's OWN ute keys.
  
2.       Even if you live alone, deodorant isn't a waste of money.
  
3.       Extensive use of deodorant can only delay bathing by a few days.
  
4.       Dirt and grease under the fingernails is a no-no, it alters the taste of finger foods and if you are a woman it can draw attention away from your jewellery.
  
Theatre/Cinema Etiquette:
  
1.       Crying babies should be taken to the lobby and picked up after the movie ends.
  
2.       Refrain from yelling abuse at characters on the screen.  Tests have proven they can't hear you.
  
Weddings:
  
1.       Livestock is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
  
2.       For the groom, at least, rent a tux.  A tracksuit with a cummerbund and a clean football jumper can create a tacky appearance.
  
3.       Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks and shoes for the occasion.
  
Driving Etiquette:
  
1.       Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles, even if your gun's loaded and the roo's in your rifle sight.
  
2.       When entering a roundabout, the vehicle with the largest roo bar doesn't always have the right of way. Roo bar - Bar at front of Ute to deflect Kangaroos
  
3.       Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
  
4.       When sending your wife down the road with a petrol can, it's impolite to ask her to bring back beer too.

Thanks for the update,  I've had several (utes) over the years and have one now, just didn't know it.

I think I was up to speed on the other definitions that were (not) quite typical over here.

I bought my first (ute) a '71 Chevy Blazer way back new..........have owned 4 more since then,  just never caught on to that term.........SUV would have meant more to me.
