revbouncer 1,431 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) We Aussies can seem like a strange lot to outsiders. It's because we generally are very blunt and call things as we see em, usually with some colourful adjectives to enhance the expression of the comment. We love our lingo and love it even more when migrants adopt our style of communication, showing us that they're really trying to be good Aussies. Here's a thread for ALL things Australian, feel free to add your own Aussieisms or just comment on the posts. I'll get it started with some of the new politically correct terminology they'd like us to start using in the workplace...

Skorpion 2,499 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) At my last job, the managers actually sent that out as a memo. A serious memo. Im not going to go much into how bad political correctness has gotten, but has anybody heard the new 'Baa Baa Black Sheep'? 'Baa Baa Raindow Sheep' because saying 'black' makes it racist. Completely overlooking that raindows represent the LGBT community. Seems like poorly thought out political correctness to me.

revbouncer 1,431 Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Whats a Cane Toad? And does it kill you? It does secrete a poison that some people lick to get a high. Unfortunately it is an introduced species that went wrong and the poison it secretes kills our native wildlife. They're now a pest in plague proportions. 1 Quote Rev's Races Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinister 2,578 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Love the ice filled Ute. I wish GM would quit screwing around and start importing those. I love El Caminos. Sorry to hear that PC has spread across the globe. It drives me insane. I know that most Aussies shake their heads at how America portrays them. I love the country and the people and one day I will make a trip there. As I told Rev one day, if the mother in law insists on moving to Florida, I will be moving my family there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omarcomin71 3,837 Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 I knew there was a reason I liked you guys. On mic my language is fairly mild-mannered, probably cuz I'm still fairly new to the crew. But IRL it's the exact opposite. Fuck political correctness! I think I'd feel right at home in Australia. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revbouncer 1,431 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Taronga Zoo are currently hiring Funnel Web cleaners. There is a high turn over of staff, so if you miss out this time, I'm sure it won't be long before your services are required!

revbouncer 1,431 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) FFS as if the Sydney Funnel Web isn't bad enough. Check out the fucking size of the Northern Tree Dwelling Funnel Web found in QLD and nth NSW and look at those FANGS! It can be up to twice as big as the Sydney Funnel Web, with much larger fangs, therefore it injects far more venom so is actually considered even more deadly that it's Sydney cousin! Also the females are just as venomous as the males unlike the Sydney version where the males are 5 to 6 times more venemous. Still wanna visit Australia Rose?

djw180 6,841 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just remembered this. I heard it told as a joke, but it is supposedly genuinely written by an Australian girl and handed to an air stewardess to pass on to the pilot of a plane 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
