HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted October 6, 2008 No we call girls in general birds. Saying she's "my bird" is the same as saying "my girl". Get it? I don't know why it's like that, it's far more common slang in the UK. We call actual birds with wings and feathers etc. chuzzwazzas. The origin of that term dates back to the old days when the Simpsons came to Australia. That episode was actually very historical for Australia as it solidified and created many of our customs today such as booting a criminal in the arse in lieu of the death sentence, doing business wearing Speedos in an inflated tyre floating in a backyard pond and of course kangaroo riding. Other than that, we're just like America except we say "aluminium". Make sense now? Cool. Hey! Shut yer trap and get me an icy pole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kind of like why do Americans call their significant other "Boo" "That's my boo!" It's just an inquiry of a mind that most of the time has proper English indwelled into her head.

Meh, were do any of these slangs terms come from? They all seem to relate to their respective meanings in almost no way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The last time I even remember talking to you was after you got all over Ross. Hold a grudge much? Haha "all over Ross." You mean after I made the a single joke about Scotland which you all decided to take completely the wrong way? And yes that was the last time you spoke to me. Shame the period of not speaking to each other had to end eh? Im sure we can get another one going very soon. And Im not a vicious hooligan (notice I can actually tell when someone is just joking around). Im a pacifist. I dont do violence. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You stopped doing all your *hugs* to everyone and ignoring people. I never really had a problem with you or thought we "werent speaking" whatever this is ridiculous. Even if I did make several jokes...theyre just jokes. And I only made one. And hugs are hugs. If you live somewhere where a hug means someones coming on to you then you live in a sad place. And I still do *hugs* to people. And Ive never ignored anyone And Im pretty sure you have had a problem with me at some point aswell Anyways Im getting my new pink tricycle delivered to me in a few days so noone can get me down. Not even my gf breaking up with me...much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
