As an Aussie I will say this, an ad played on American TV 30-40 years ago does not reflect Australian culture.

We don't eat shrimp, we eat prawns (it was changed to shrimp in the ad to avoid confusing Americans, which is a bit ironic).

Barbie is the shortened word for barbeque in Australia, but we don't even cook prawns on the barbie, we either boil them or fry them on a pan.

This has been a PSA from an Aussie who has heard Americans making this dumb boomer-esque joke for their whole life; please come up with fresh ways to dunk on us, that way we can both laugh.

That said the picture is pretty funny.

Now now. No need to be rude. We don't actually think you do that.

We DO however think you lost a national war against a flock of emus, when you had guns.

[–] Noite_Etion@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love the emu wars, but calling it a "national war" is a bit of a stretch. It was 3 blokes with 2 guns between them, an "incompetent war" is a better descriptor lol.

Had enough ammo to build a house out of it

We call a rifle a rifle here,

Because we actually understand them and we don't think they make our dicks magically bigger

I'm not gonna listen to a PSA about a country that offers thongs and bottled water out of the same vending machine!

note for my fellow americans: thongs = flip flops.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Prawns? But those are the bald guys in chest. Why are you eating them?

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah we love to heart logical definitional explanations and such. Thanks

i love austrians

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

We had a very real effort to officially change the currency to the "dollarydoo"

I hope to see it happen in my lifetime

[–] regedit@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kid loves Bluey and my wife and I have started calling money dollarbucks. It's fun!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

I normally like living in the land of euros but Bluey makes me wish I could use the term dollarbucks instead.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not even Australian and I support this.

Funnier names for all funny money!

[–] kieron115@startrek.website 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

NOINE HUNDRED DOLLARYDOOS?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago

We joke, but we're actually jealous that Aussies have elected representatives that listen to them.

Those are prawn not shrimp

[–] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're the same thing. There's no real distinction.

Writing in 1980, L. B. Holthuis noted that the terms prawn and shrimp were used inconsistently "even within a single region", generalising that larger species fished commercially were generally called shrimp in the United States, and prawns in other English-speaking countries, although not without exceptions.[7]

Is Barbie the source of Mar-a-lago Face or Is it the other way around?

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I think it's more an expression of being wealthy enough for plastic surgery as the world is in decay rather than anything else.

It's a show of financial (and hence social) status, their version of claiming they have fuck you money.
