Sure .. but where are your slurs, wtf is "Modern Australian cuisine", and does anyone give a toss about Melbourne (it was overflowing with pretentious hipsters long before Sydney)?


Well that was anticlimactic

Anyway the real reason I replied was because I'm sick of seeing this slur 'seppo' online because it's basically like the N word but attacking all Americans instead of just some of them, and in five years down under no Australian ever dared to use it against me in person, it's just pussy keyboard warriors who break it out.


> Well that was anticlimactic

Agreed. I was mildly excited when you promised slurs, disappointed that you had none - insults are considered an artform here.

> and in five years down under no Australian ever dared to use it against me

It's regional, in some parts of Australia it's as common as "Yank", elsewhere you'll never hear it <shrug>.

> it's just pussy keyboard warriors who break it out.

Again, if you're going to throw slurs they actually have to have some bite that'll stick.

Still, no hard feelings, have an upvote for participation, and hopefully I catch any reply you make, it was only by chance I saw "the S-word" on newcomments and followed up on it.
