Don't you just love it when someone who doesn't know the local vernacular opens their gob and sticks their foot in it! LOL! It's the same when a Brit comes to Canada and says, "I'll knock you up sometime."
The important thing is whether one is the "rooter" or the "rootee"
So, I guess it means something completely different when I hear that an Aussie's pride for his country is "deeply rooted" in Aboriginees where the first Europeans set down their "roots"
CHIMO!
