Phrases and figures of speech that you like and enjoy using.

May 06 2016

Seeing as the one's you dislike are numbering a few...let's hear the flip-side of things. Personally, I think swear words are great when used appropriately and cleverly, and not much is out of bounds. Good taste is the only rule I try to follow and stay within the boundaries of...and that depends on the circumstance."Can't be fucked" is a useful one...as are "Yeah..naah" and "Naah..yeah". I love Australianisms...using them appropriately doesn't make one a yobbo.

    The budgie die ? is a favourite in response to no shows. From an old codger at a petrol station in a country town in Winter...Scarcity of heat today.. When I asked my mum what something was...A wigwam for a gooses bridle,she would say....I have never heard anyone else say it. A favourite word which is a whole sentence in itself is ,Excellent ! 😀 Q...nice topic btw Kool.

Being a mixed race couple i find it amusing when i speak to my partners family and i am Aussie, so Australian sayings like "mad as a cut snake" make for mixed reactions from the inlaws. All i do is watch the "badger" (a perth rugby player) interviews and he gives me all the aussie lingo ammo i could possibly want for a family dinner.

    Quoting 'Grouse33' He speaks three languages but English is not his first. He emailed me a request and had to ask people what my response of 'no wuckas' meant. - Posted from rhpmobile I get this a lot. I favour other nationalities let's say, and one guy makes me laugh, I encouraged him to ask me if he didn't understand the English words or slang. He speaks and writes really good English, but some of the slang gets lost in translation. Surprising too how hard some things are to explain. They just roll off the tongue for us, some we've been saying all our life, but they quite often interpret differently. One such exchange recently I think revealed he thought I was getting a bit serious, hard to say for sure, but I think that was his interpretation of my words. But my words were my normal sexy talk, slang sexy talk though. Slang is a whole other language. I like it when they trust me enough to ask instead of not really knowing. Scary though the difference from our meaning to their understanding of it

    As someone who gets occasionally paid to use "bad" language, I love it all. Making people laugh while telling them ridiculous , slightly exaggerated stories is the best drug on earth. Too me there is no such thing as it...words are words and remember a great phrase by Ricky Gervais "just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right" Swearing is great and a huge stress relief when used correctly.

    I too love words. Or to be more honest, I love how they're used, how social trends or whatever...forces that are bigger than any of us individually...can give them new contexts of use, if that makes sense? How words can...not necessarily lose their original meaning...but rather, gain new meanings and popularity as well. I use many of the words used here from time to time...but the appropriate occasion to use whichever words is key to thier use for myself. I won't go into those appropriate occasions, but knowing what is enough, what is trying too hard, etc is part of the joy of language, I find. I only speak English and I love that groups of humanity can make a shared language individual.

    ...pretty familiar with the phrase "Fuck me dead", and of course, it doesn't imply what it's literally saying...but rather that it's a useful emphasis term, usually when a bit surprised too.But I've also heard a variation that goes "Fuck me, six days from Sunday." I thought on that one the first time I heard it...and it's not bad, I thought. Six days from Sunday... Yep. That's as far from Sunday as you can get. Kudos..

    Quoting 'Koolgrey' ..."This shit just got real!" I wonder how a non-english speaker would take that one. Literally? 😊 That just reminded me of when we had a german female backpacker living with us for a few months in Darwin.She always wanted to do everything we did, which was fine we enjoyed showing her around and taking her to see the sights. One day i was packing the ute to do a rubbish tip run, she asked me what i was doing and i replied "just doing a dump run".Well she had a perplexed look on her face and me being male didn't think much of it, my partner asked her if she'd like to come along and normally she would jump at the chance but this time she was a little apprehensive and my partner said "come on it's not that bad, it just smells a little". So looked stunned but agreed to come along, upon arriving at the tip she still looked confused until i got out from the car and started throwing all the stuff in the tip (garden refuse) and she howled with laughter, to which my partner said "whats so funny?" she replied i seriously thought when he said dump run that we where going to go take a dump out somewhere in public like in the bushes somewhere and then run away. We all laughed to which the other people around us at the tip looked confused. When she departed Australia she wrote a book for us, combined with stories, pictures and drawings. On the top of each page was a little stick figure running across the pages until it did a dump and then run off when you flicked the pages quickly.
