hey Area 7

hey I've got a nice term for non Aussies to learn

Derro

basically it's a bum or hobo short for derelict

lol I've never heard of that one

yeah I don't hear it that much these days, but my mother would use it all the time

The derro picks up a bevvie at the servo

while he's on his smoko

I was about to say, derelict as in a person or an object, or both?

smoko??

person

morning tea basically

especially if you're a labourer

there's smoko vans that go around to work places to sell pies and drinks etc

I feel like an Australian could just many anythin up and I'd believe it

you guys would be good at Balderdash

we'd never do that.....

To be fair, I kinda feel like that's what they do

well we have a kind of cultural thing with that

Yarns

it's probably why we're famous shitposters a part of our culture is telling bullshit stories

is yarns where you weave the best tall tales?

I literally had to write a yarn for English class in school 😄

I hated that part I am no good at yarning

Is this going to lead into a bit about "So the important part was that I had an onion tied to my belt, because that was the style at the time"?

the Simpsons episode in Australia is 100% accurate

well except the currency, we don't use Dollaridoos

yet

why are all the funny Australian internet people from Perth

well Perth is a strange place

that's it??

honestly I don't know that much about it, it's ridiculously far away

and not that important to most Aussies

it's as if it's another country

well it's not unlike the distance from New York to LA

actually it might even be a bit further

but unlike the US there's nothing in between

Well, people from NY or LA may say the same about the US

yeah I'm being much more literal

I mean there's the Great Sandy Desert
