We had a very real effort to officially change the currency to the “dollarydoo”
I hope to see it happen in my lifetime
Aussies are a strange beautiful people with ways that are alien to me...

Kid loves Bluey and my wife and I have started calling money dollarbucks. It’s fun!

I normally like living in the land of euros but Bluey makes me wish I could use the term dollarbucks instead.

Those are prawn not shrimp
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
They’re the same thing. There’s no real distinction.
Writing in 1980, L. B. Holthuis noted that the terms prawn and shrimp were used inconsistently “even within a single region”, generalising that larger species fished commercially were generally called shrimp in the United States, and prawns in other English-speaking countries, although not without exceptions.[7]

And yet any Aussie can tell you they are shrimp.

Is Barbie the source of Mar-a-lago Face or Is it the other way around?
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I think it’s more an expression of “being wealthy enough for plastic surgery as the world is in decay” rather than anything else.
It’s their version of claiming they have “fuck you” money.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Which is funny, because I have no money, and have no problem saying “fuck you” to anyone.
Kinda makes their most prized possesion meaningless, no?
wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 4 weeks ago
Well, don’t leave us hanging here. Are you gonna put another one on or what?

How do you know the 4th one wasn’t it?
GimmeUrBelt@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
This is pretty racist, I think.
FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
As an Australian citizen, I decree this not to be racist, and that you would find life far better if you removed the stick
GimmeUrBelt@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
As an Aussie, you might need to get checked, mate. This was a joke.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Against who? Barbies? Shrimp?
GimmeUrBelt@lemmy.today 4 weeks ago
Prolly the shrimp, idk

It never ceases to amaze me that of all the fucked up bullshit to come out of Australia… this is what we make fun of?
jimmux@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
Especially because it’s not even Aussie.
Curious to know what other fucked up bullshit you’re thinking of though.
FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The stupid idea that our wildlife is dangerous
We don’t have bear, mountain lions, coyotes, or Texans

Just wait. You’ll know when.

Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Now now. No need to be rude. We don’t actually think you do that.
We DO however think you lost a national war against a flock of emus, when you had guns.
Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Love the emu wars, but calling it a “national war” is a bit of a stretch. It was 3 blokes with 2 guns between them, an “incompetent war” is a better descriptor lol.
FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
We call a rifle a rifle here,
Because we actually understand them and we don’t think they make our dicks magically bigger
