Wait, all Australians are great?! You really shouldn't brand an entire nations people .. blah, blah .. (Sorry but you walked straight into that one)
but hey, I know they're great, hey, you won't believe this but, I am Australian, in a very broad sense of the word. I just don't plaster my 'nationality' to my forehead.
'hesitate to brand an entire nation’s people'. Sorry what thread were you reading? Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough for yourself and Jackie, who failed to understand the use of 'shot' because it's actually an Australian colloquialism (to get back to language)
So: just the shot = just the ticket
no harm done ;-)
happy new year
p.s. what day is it?
