      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.

        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.

        We call a rifle a rifle here,

        Because we actually understand them and we don’t think they make our dicks magically bigger

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

      source
      • boonhet@sopuli.xyz ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        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

    source
    • trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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 ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ 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.

      source
      • Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world ⁨21⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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?

    This is pretty racist, I think.

      As an Australian citizen, I decree this not to be racist, and that you would find life far better if you removed the stick

        As an Aussie, you might need to get checked, mate. This was a joke.
