This week the girls take aim at what it means to be Aussie as f**k...
This week the girls wanted to honor their homeland and discuss some of the weird and wonderful things that make people think that's Aussie AF (As F*ck)!
But first, what were we drinking?
Sarah was drinking Somersby Blackberry Cider

Amy was drinking Wiley Rooster Merlot
Bianca was drinking Zilzie Pinot Grigio

Amy kicked us off tonight by describing what it means to be Aussie AF and then discussed some of the strange lingo Australians are known for.
Some examples include:
G’day = good day
Barbie = BBQ
Chunder = vomit
Dunny = toilet
Fair Dinkum = meaning it's real or true
Durry = cigarette
Bottle-o = bottle shop or liquor store
Daks = pants
Yakka = work
Shelia = woman
Tucker = food
Cobber = friend
Bonza = good (use this word more people!)
Relos = relatives
Bum nut = chicken egg (this was Amy's dads favourite along with holy snapping duck shit)
Bogan = which is our word for country folk, rednecks, or someone who is very Aussie but a bit backward
Woop woop = which means in the middle of fuck knows where
Sarah enlightened everyone with the almost surreal story of the Great Emu War. This war was fought by the farmers and Australian military personnel... only to lose to the emus.
Bianca took aim at the very poor taste "sport" of dwarf-tossing. Dwarf tossing is a pub attraction in which people with dwarfism, wearing special padded clothing or Velcro costumes, are thrown onto mattresses or at Velcro-coated walls.
It is illegal or banned in a lot of developed counties. But, not in Straya! Laws may prohibit dwarf-tossing implicitly, but there are no explicit laws preventing a consenting dwarf from being 'tossed'.
So remember to get consent before you toss!
