I get that taSman is a reference to Tasmania. What I don't understand is why.
Do Australians and Tasmanians perhaps refer to each other as being "across the ditch" (kind of like the "other side of the pond" relationship shared by Brits and Ams)?
...or dore Taz the Tasmanian Tiger (friend of Da'vI') leave a ditch in his wake? Been a while since I watched that show.

I laughed out loud when I saw this. The pun is immediately obvious to me as an Australian - I wonder if anyone else got it straight away?
