Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it’s opaque and convoluted. That’s what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you’re part of the culture.

If you’re eating with an Australian and they ask you to “pass the dead horse”, it means they think you’re Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won’t know what it means and they’re fucking with you intentionally.

nods Lady, of Gaga.

Fun fact: in the rest of the world it’s just called “licorice”. No black. That red stuff isn’t licorice at all.

Fun fact: Lady Gaga chose that name because of that song.

You can tell it’s made up because it has “it’s said that” in it.

Looks like one of these babies

Wow, haven’t seen a roflcopter in a long time.

It’s one word, all lower case, four words, all upper case.

The exception is password managers. It’s a very rare tool that makes things more secure and easier.

Your OS probably comes with one, and if not there are cheap or even free ones available.

My take is irrelevant. Here’s a reputable news source about the issue: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-08-04/paris-olympics-imane-khelif-clinches-medal-in-boxing/104181158

Tl;dr: she is and always has been a woman. The source of the controversy is the International Boxing Association, which claims she “failed an unspecified eligibility test to compete last year over elevated levels of testosterone.”

Later in the article, in reference to the IBA: “the Russian-dominated body — which has faced years of clashes with the IOC — has refused to provide any information about the tests, underscoring its lack of transparency in nearly every aspect of its dealings, particularly in recent years.”

Mate I appreciate that you seem to be coming at this with honest curiosity, but do yourself a favour and get this information from reputable news sources.

This whole thing is so polarised and so full of misinformation that anything you read from randos on social media you have no way of knowing if it’s credible or complete bullshit.

Was wondering how much is the contents and how much is the size so ran the conversation. Jesus christ 32 fl oz is like a litre almost! That’s huge!

Forget about what’s normal for getting over a fight. You know what’s not normal? Getting into a screaming match with your partner every month.

I really can’t stress enough, that’s not ok. Not a healthy relationship, not a safe environment for your children, and not a good example for them to follow in the future.

You need couple’s counselling ASAP because this pattern has to stop.

Nonograms are great for puzzles that are hard enough to be satisfying when you solve them, but easy enough to be relaxing. I use Picture Cross Color on iphone.

Completely disagree, but upvoted for having a well-argued, unpopular opinion which is kind of the point of this thread!

That’s just Australian for ketchup: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dead horse

We’re way ahead of you mate, all tobacco advertising was banned in Australia 30 years ago. Plain packaging is just the latest in a long line of moves designed to de-normalise smoking, and the tobacco companies have fought against it every step of the way.

I literally just googled “cigarette plain packaging effectiveness” and there’s tons of articles analysing it and they all conclude that it has made a difference 🤷🏼‍♂️
