What's your opinion about Black metal ?

Can you translate what she was saying? It was seriously incomprehensible to me.

"When I held up the banana and saw a string hanging down with little spiders on it. Just thought they were horrible little creatures from the end of the garden outside. Just hasn't crossed my mind at all that they were such serious spiders."

"They rang us and said you need to evacuate the house immediately, they are the most poisonous spiders in the world."

"It could have been my 3-year old son eating that banana. My husband and I, we've been talking about it and yeah there are no words to describe the kind of feeling. Absolutely terrified, shell shocked."

Has there ever been an Australian president or prime minister or whatever you call them that had memorable lines?

Thanks, I could almost hear the "horrible" but wasn't sure, but I never would have gotten the rest of that.

"I'm feeling a little peckish so i'll just go right ahead and eat some chocolate chip biscuits and candy floss." thank the gods that we took their language and have been fixing it ever since.

we say chocolate chip cookies tbf. but cookies are a type of biscuit

She wasn't the easiest to understand and isn't representative of how the majority of people speak in this country. I mean she's not even British! But I can't believe you found it incomprehensible.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

What is she?

 

[CiG]

Maybe if you didn't hold up Midwest reporters (a profession where they literally take speaking lessons to make sure they're as clear as possible to as many ears as possible) as your norm, you could understand her. After watching that video though, I don't think she has a British accent, sounds like some kind of weird European broken English deal to me.

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah, I'd guess she was from some Eastern European country but I'm not sure.

Hahaha. He sounds like an utter pillock.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

To be fair, homeschooling and internet forums have damaged my ability to converse normally through speech. I struggle with a lot of kinds of voices. Sometimes it's like I have to memorize the sequence of words spoken in a sentence and visualize them as text before I can understand what they actually mean.

 

[CiG]

Seriously though, Robert Menzies is probably the most significant historical prime minister of Australia and right-wingers over here still share around his speeches on communism.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Yeah, I'd guess she was from some Eastern European country but I'm not sure.

To be even more fair, my family regularly watches foreign films and there was one time that they were watching some Portuguese film and I thought it was Hindi. Though I watch enough anime these days to discern Japanese from Chinese.

not over here it's not.

And yes, you guys have adopted a lot of our fixes. Nothing wrong with that since English is still a "live/living" language so you shouldn't be surprised that we tidied it up a bit and tried getting rid of all the foreign influence. I mean dont get me wrong, If there's one country i would love to visit if i came out to europe it would be england and you guys are also my favorite group of people form that shitty region, but fuck do you guys sound funny and in all honestly, broken.

there are sooooooooooooo many different british accents and dialects though. literally drive 30 minutes down the road and you hit a totally different accent and fairly different vocabulary. some of them are completely atrocious but others aren't so bad. okay, most of them are pretty bad.

some sly investigating led me to discover that the woman who found the spiders was called "consi taylor". definitely not an english christian name that i've ever heard, but i'm not sure where it's from. doesn't really look like it's common anywhere based on a google search. either way, i think she might actually be retarded and you guys aren't very nice.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Taylor isn't an English name?

 

[CiG]

Pretty sure soft biscuits (referred to as scones in most of the commonwealth nations and England) are still called biscuits in Scotland.

Taylor isn't an English name?

Wiki:

Taylor is a surname used in the British Isles of French and Latin origin which originated as a Norman occupational surname (meaning tailor) in France It is derived from the Old French tailleur ("cutter"), which is in turn derived from the Late Latin taliator, from taliare ("to cut").

I've been trying to find a video of a scouse accent to see if HamburgerBoy can make it out but I can't find a suitable video. I hate that accent, the Geordie and the fucking Welsh the most. I love the Irish accent.

Taylor is, but she clearly got that from her husband!

Scouse:



This is a classic.

Yeah that's because you guys are surrounded by the rest of that shitty continent and their languages have bled into yours. I've even heard some people say that most old school brits from way back wouldn't even understand most of the people out there today and that they would have much more in common with proper American English than most of the bastardized language/dialects that are used there today.
