My eldest got home from the gym and says “Tomorrow I’m going to feel like a cactus”. 🌵
Proud Aussie / American mum me says “oh yeah, you’re so close but that’s not quite to how you’re supposed to say it!”
He says “what do you mean?”
Sometimes I just have to google Aussie slang to prove I’m not making stuff up.
@BillyBones @Kungfupussy As long as the mutton shunter don't see us we'll be quite alright
@MrGoat @BillyBones she’ll be right, knackers
@BillyBones explaining how to say it was interesting
Do I say I feel cactus? No
Do I say I feel like a cactus? No
So I say I am cactus?
Yes…..
@Kungfupussy 🤣
"Conjugate the verb 'to go'. "
"Uh... ere, eo, is, it, imus"
Oh and you get extra points for the use of Sir Didymus ❤️
@BillyBones I was raised on The Life of Brian so nicely done right back atcha!
@Kungfupussy I enjoy teaching my teammates at work an assortment of Aussie slang (strictly the SFW stuff).
@kaehlys it’s the best! I sometimes lie and make up animal facts including that vegemite is made of koala’s noses but that’s for fun.
@Kungfupussy Eh, Down Undah is wacky enough as-is.
Still can't get people to believe that everything doesn't want to kill us 🤷
@Kungfupussy I pride myself on knowing weird slang from lots of places, but that's a new one on me 🤣
