When I think carton, I think cigarettes. When talking about beer I say 'case'

Recording acoustic shit. And drinking a soda. I am really fucking glad this fuming pile of shit known as easter is gone for another year. And my stomach ache is gone. I have school tomorrow, which really sucks. I hate Sundays, but if Monday is off, this hatred moves to Monday. Luckily, I only have two days of school this week- Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday night, at 3:00 AM, I will have to go back to school to get on the bus to Atlanta. It's an 8 and a half hour drive to Atlanta, maybe minus that half from my school. It's for band trip.
Why didn't they just do it on the week? Now I lose this weekend. Luckily, Saturday will be spend riding roller coasters.

I am aware of that.

Case is always specifically 24. Carton is less specific, can be a variety of different amounts inside.

 

[JontRevolting]

I dunno mate I'd be a tad peeved if I found any less than 24 in my carton.

 

[Mort Divine]

Case is definitely 24, but '12 pack' '15 pack' etc would be more common than carton here.

 

[JontRevolting]

It's always been 4x6 here to a carton as far as I know.

 

[CiG]

Carton here might mean a specific thing sure, I'm talking more universally. It's not defined, as a word, by any amount.

 

[JontRevolting]

Yeah you're right I have a habit of talking in slang on here, partly due to laziness and partly to try and be funny. I'll have to remember not to do that.

 

[CiG]

Do it more often. Useless American cunts can just learn.

 

[JontRevolting]

Learning slang from other cultures, now there's a completely ignored and interesting subject that I could learn.

 

[CiG]

I know a fuckload of foreign slang actually, prefer them for the most part to Australian slang.

30 can cases are referred to as "30 racks/a 30 rack" in some places.

 

[CiG]

30 rack sounds awesome.

 

[JontRevolting]

I was fond of Emu Export 30 can 'blocks' while in Western Australia.

For me it depends on the context and who I hear it from, it doesn't take much for me to go into a tirade based on looks and speech.

 

[CiG]

Damn that is pure rat piss! I have some evil memories drinking Emu.

 

[JontRevolting]

My memory is 10 tassie dope smoking scum in a house in vic park drinking this rat piss trying to find weed and enjoying eagle boys pizza.

 

[PrincessHades]

I have never heard beer referred to as a carton. Always a case, or whatever number pack. Sometimes, any package of beer is referred to as a "thing of beer".

 

[JontRevolting]

Thing is a pretty good term to use for just about anything. Get me a thing of vegetables or get me a thing of syringes, other terms are made up bullshit invented by people trying to make money by creating fancy words for a box to carry stuff in.
