Aussie?

In any case, you may not have good hearing, but at least you have good hair!

Gotta love the way australians think being polite and couth is achieved by using another word for f&^k that literally means f^&k.

"The gearbox is totally f&^ked! Oh, sorry Cheryl, didn't see you there. I mean it's rooted."

We have a long, proud history of screwing the queen's, sorry, king's english.
Kiwi! But yes, polite way of saying my hearing is fucked. Odd phrase... if I were to use that in the context of actual fucking, I'd consider it a vulgar way to put it!
