Why not do that face rig thing so it can look like doc is playing it
“In 1921, early suffragettes often donned a bathing suit and ate pizza in large groups to annoy men…it was a custom at the time.”
TIME TO REVIVE A CUSTOM
Throwback to the time my poor German teacher had to explain the concept of formal and informal pronouns to a class full of Australians and everyone was scandalised and loudly complained “why can’t I treat everyone the same?” “I don’t want to be a Sie!” “but being friendly is respectful!” “wouldn’t using ‘du’ just show I like them?” until one guy conceded “I suppose maybe I’d use Sie with someone like the prime minister, if he weren’t such a cunt” and my teacher ended up with her head in her hands saying “you are all banned from using du until I can trust you”
God help Japanese teachers in Australia.
if this isnt an accurate representation of australia idk what is
Australia’s reverse-formality respect culture is fascinating. We don’t even really think about it until we try to communicate or learn about another culture and the rules that are pretty standard for most of the world just feel so wrong. I went to America this one time and I kept automatically thinking that strangers using ‘sir’ and ‘ma’am’ were sassing me.
Australians could not be trusted with a language with ingrained tiers of formal address. The most formal forms would immediately become synonyms for ‘go fuck yourself’ and if you weren’t using the most informal version possible within three sentences of meeting someone they’d take it to mean you hated them.
100% true.
the difference between “‘scuse me” and “excuse me” is a fistfight
I’m not virus free. But BOY I was scared there for a moment, haha ^^’‘ Apparently, after following that link from my inbox, some message about ‘‘Is this you? LINK’‘ I somehow downloaded a spambot-thingie to my blog, that somehow reblogged several pictures, that would lead people to pornsites if looking for the proginal source. It was very easy to remove luckily, and the pictures itself should be harmless, as far as google says.
But if you ever get a message saying ‘‘Is this you LINK’‘ PLEASE do not click it, i would not wish this mess on anyone. Geting thingss without your approval reblogged felt.. Really invasive ^^’‘thank you for sticking with me, I’ll be more careful in the furture, for sure.
