Twenty years ago, during the first episode of a mockumentary-style sitcom Kath & Kim aired on national broadcasters, there are many new languages, clothing and suburban folklore to absorb. It was May 2002, and the classic episode was titled Sex . We learned to say Cardonnay and “Look at me”, talk like Prue and Sue and call ourselves sneaky fools, and don’t forget “I have feelings in my waters”, love to dance off the beaten track and guys propose to their girlfriends at Harvey Norman’s Store every where.
