At this stage you should probably be working on your pronunciation
One day it will just leap out of you and you will suddenly understand the language.

Hearing the word "unaustralian" makes me want to punch people in the cunt.
It usually means "anything I don't agree with and I can trace my Australian ancestors back at least 50 years."

Then stop saying it
Australia day used to be about having a barbecue with your mates. It still is, but a lot of people seem to be reading a lot of shit into it that doesn't exist without them doing it.

Sorry, I've had this discussion too much lately
Facebook was fucking bizarre this year. I don't want to take anything away from the terrible things white Australia has done to Aborigines because we still haven't come far enough.
Most of my boong friends love a good barbecue and I wish everyone would just chill the fuck out about it.

No, really, I just meant
when someone doesn't like something, so they just declare it 'unaustralian', like the US used to in the 1950s. Nothing more than that.

I really wish it could mean something strong but it gets thrown around by rednecks and talkback radio hosts so much that it's turned into a dog whistle for racists
It is a very sad state of affairs.

I've seen both flaming galahs and drongoes.
I felt ridiculously pleased when I got the pair.

Did you have to ignite the Galah yourself, or do they naturally spontaneously combust?

Well, they spend a lot of time sniffing solvents, so they are quite flammable.

I used to have to run at them swinging my backpack just to clear a path to get to the bus stop
Those fuckers get bold when they have the numbers.
