Ooops - translation....

sledge: Verbal abuse of one sports player to another in order to break focus on the play. The Oxford Australian lists it as a cricket term pertaining to a fielder heckling a batter. However, I heard it on the news with regard to a footy player sledging another player, i.e., insulting someone on the opposing team in a moment of heated play. This is identified as a uniquely Australian colloquialism.

A "stick-your-tongue-out" smiley would be perfect for this moment . . . .

That's right, I never looked at it - had no time, just thought a funny response was in order. Too close to Surgut, case closed.
