Hey guys! As promised, here is my real IDK post. Enjoy :)
1. If you ever say 'Stralia - prepare to be disowned! Do you think a real Aussie has time for enunciating those 'L's? No. It's 'Straya (Or Straya if you want, who has time for the apostrophe?)
2. If you come to Australia, be prepared for snakes and spiders and other bugs to be literally E V E R Y W H E R E
3. You should be scared shitless of most of these mentioned bugs and snakes and arachnids because they're fricking deadly. (FACT: Australia has the top 11 deadliest snakes. Of the top 25, only 4 aren't found in Australia)
4. Yes, we are all cynical/bitchy/mean/sarcastic but you get used to it. And we're only truly horrible to the people we really love.
5. Aussies are also the most chilled, kind and laid-back people you will meet (probably)
6. We have our own version of Canada; it's called New Zealand
7.When most non-Australian celebrities try to do an Aussie accent, they sound like Kiwis
8. We call people from New Zealand Kiwis
9. Yes, we like alcohol (WELL NOT ME PERSONALLY BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN)
10. We have emus. If you do not know what they are, I will put a picture on the side. They are to be feared and respected. (FACT: There was an Emu War. It resulted in emu victory.)
11. It is bloody hot and we DO have complaining rights. It gets into the 40s and 50s (degrees Celsius. 40* Celsius equals 104* Fahrenheit, 50*C=122*F) and people casually have their thongs melted to the bitumen and fry eggs on footpaths
12. We call flip flops 'thongs'
13. We have dingoes
14. A dingo once stole a baby. This has created many jokes and much interest in dingoes and babies.
15. We have loads of scary or deadly animals. These include koalas, snakes, emus, platypi, dingoes, Aussie people, goannas, kangaroos, the temperature, crocs, octopi, spiders, jellyfish, bees, sharks, shells and of course, dropbears.
16. We say things such as Oi, G'day, mate, barbie, Aussie, garbo, servo, bottle-o, arvo, avo, beaut, ripper, bloody and crocs (the animals)
17. Yes, we swear a lot. Get over it
18. Our media is the absolute best
19. OUR ACCENTS ARE NOT CUTE
20. We have our version of the 4th of July, it's called Australia Day and is on the 26th of January
21. Our cops are pretty cool too
22. We are NOT a mini-USA or a mini-England, we are AUSTRALIA.
23. Yes England technically rules over us but they're more like an older cousin that's just kinda there if we need
24. Our national anthem actually goes "Australian's all let us rejoice for we are young and free... (etc)" It isn't Waltzing Matilda. However, ask ay Aussie ad they'll tell you Waltzing Matilda is our unofficial anthem.
25. We make loads of terrible puns
26. We have hail the size of pool balls... and we regularly get hit
27. Aussies get hurt a lot (probably because everything is trying to kill us - the animals, the weather, the people) but we just shrug it off
28. We do not, EVER, say "Chuck another shrimp on the barbie mate" in a nasally Kiwi accent (except to make fun of it). They're called prawns, and we don't barbecue them (well I don't even EAT them but my brother and dad do)
29. We all came here from convicts and criminals.
30. We are the greatest people you will ever meet
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!
