No peeking now:
“That funny moment when your walking into the servo and a unidentifiable car shows up, they broke into oportos, while they were in there I stole the keys to the car. Waited for them to run out. The passenger jumped into the car so I punched the **** out of the junkie and they ran off. I chased them but because I’m fat they got away haha.”
Stubbies and singlets party? That sort of gives it away really.
Uthat is as comprehensible around here as Received Pronunciation.
What’s your point – are you racist Tim?
FYI Karl Stefanovic is a twat. Weapons Grade
Yeh. “Servo” means something completely different in every dialect and perversion of English other than ‘strine.
From youtube/reddit:
Stubbies = In this context rugby shorts also worn a lot by tradies (craftsmen). Also can refer to beers more commonly.
Plugger = Foot falcons = Thongs = Flip Flops
Servo = Petrol (gas) Station
Oporto = Fast Food Chicken Restaurant. A poor man’s Nandos .
Blow out = Ripping a strap out of a thong like this . Usually happens when Barry steps on your thong as you’re winding up for a stride.
Moot =Vag
Danga = dingleberry = shit nugget that (usually) gets stuck to your ass hair.
Moot Danga -= well I’ll let you add it together. This one is a deep deep cut, I’ve never heard it in the wild.
Servo: another example of the annoying habit of Australians reducing every noun to a single syllable with a vowel on the end. You even see it in adverts. It’s like being in a country of mongs.
Made perfect sense to me! Then again, as far as I’m aware we’re the only country in the world that has shortened McDonalds to Maccas in the popular lexicon. To the extent that some stores have bought Maccas signs and the company uses it in their Australian advertising.
Ltw get’s a double thumbs up for local knowledge
Cheers DMS – best bloody country in the world 🙂
Tim N: And road signs. In Perth we saw an illuminated diversion sign to ‘Freeo’.
My favourite Oz advertising jingle (from, I think, the late 80s):-
I have to say your sconza
Absolutely bonza.
“Cheers DMS – best bloody country in the world”
“Best bloody country” is hugely preferable to British or American equivalents.
Dear Lord, that interview video is brilliant. It’s up there with the Aggers and Johnners “Leg-Over” clip – impossible not to laugh with them.
