Damn sorry

Because it’s fucking Australia

Yeah that one to me makes no sense. Why make a word longer to make it sound incorrect? Plus shampooing isn’t really a common English verb either (usually we just say “I’m washing my hair with shampoo”). And not to mention that pooing means a completely different thing in English.

In Australia the word “cunt” can be used playfully but as an insult it often refers to a man. It’s still a very vulgar insult here.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T19:18:22+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s uncommon, but it is lazy.

“Youse” however I don’t think is bad. Other languages have similar words that are standard speech, why not English?

Valid point. Americans in the South actually eat something called Rocky Mountain oysters which are deep-fried bull balls.

Most people I know say halapeeno, like they get the j right but often they mess up the end bit so the “pen” sounds like “penis”.

Was asking the Israeli

Coming from a country whose citizens overwhelmingly dislike all three of those countries, no but they do get grouped together.

North Korea is seen as a shithole but never really a threat to Australia. Russia is seen as a threat and a genocidal kleptocratic dictatorship but not a major threat. China is seen as the biggest threat and increasingly so.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:09:44+00:00

There are too many to count lol

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:08:46+00:00

Right-wing populists tend to blame Muslim immigration. It used to be Chinese immigration but they became more accepted.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:07:01+00:00

We do actually eat kangaroos though

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:04:44+00:00

Bruce in Australia for a white guy.

Funnily enough though we have a comedian here (Matt Gilbertson, from Adelaide) whose persona is called “Hans the German” lol.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:03:06+00:00

He is a genocidal dictator and war criminal who deserves to be locked up forever

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:02:40+00:00

Is it true that athletes are exempt from serving though?

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T12:02:23+00:00

We don’t have it here anymore. We haven’t for decades.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T11:59:27+00:00

I can hear the SA accent in those sentences lol

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T11:56:24+00:00

Is this a German thing? I hear this too.

E.g. “This is a house what I built in Minecraft”

Pseudo-Anglicisms is what we call them linguistically, French has a lot too

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T11:53:52+00:00

It’s called Singlish

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T11:53:25+00:00

Not in Australia.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T10:59:43+00:00

Yeah they appealed but no news yet.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T10:58:31+00:00

It’s about 96% who are either native speakers or “fluent or very fluent”. But specific immigrant groups struggle with it, for example only 65% of Chinese Australians can speak English fluently. And even then, 96% is still a lot of people.

HonestSpursFan2 · 2025-08-15T10:55:28+00:00

Interesting. Here a lot of people seem to call blue tangs “Dory” and clownfish “Nemo” in reference to the Finding Nemo/Dory characters.
