17 Aussie-Only Things The Rest Of The World Won't Get
So, today I'm here to debunk this ~conspiracy~ — not with a world map or any explanation about our history but with a list of experiences that only exist in Australia. "Walking around with your dogs (toes) out and touching bare concrete." "Swapping dinners with whoever's sitting next to you at a wedding." "Eating crisp potato wedges with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream." — u/lewin11This is actually an insanely delicious combo and it breaks my heart that not everyone's experience it. A hot potato wedge that has a perfectly fried crust, dipped into cold sour cream and sweet chilli sauce is TRULY tangy, sweet and satiating. "Drinking a lemon lime and bitters anywhere that serves it." "Slapping beetroot on a burger and accepting its presence in each bite." "Half-flushing the toilet after peeing." Cheering "hip, hip, hooray" after singing someone "Happy Birthday". Voting during political elections is compulsory. Saying "heaps", "I reckon" and adding "but" to the end of sentences. — u/Nebs90, u/flintmichigantropics "We also are the only ones who use 'but' at the end of our sentences. 'It's the same size but' or 'it's not that interesting but'. When I lived overseas and added a 'but' at the end of my sentence everyone would look at me and ask "but what?" Haha I don't know, maybe that's just a WA thing but."— u/Warm-Candle-6615Here's an example: I reckon putting heaps of chicken salt on your chips is sick but. Smothering your hot chips with ✨CHICKEN SALT✨. Calling this symbol ❤️ a "love heart", not just a "heart". "Cooking on a free (or coin-operated) electric barbecue at the park." Dancing a very specific sequence of steps to "Nutbush, City Limits" by Ike and Tina Turner "Try talking to an American and asking them if they can do 'The Nutbush'... The looks... ohhh the looks."— u/FantasticOlive7568We learn this sequence of steps — called 'The Nutbush' — from a very young age and continue to dance them at school discos, weddings, events and more. Even if you try to forget it, you can't stop yourself when you hear the opening beats to "Nutbush City Limits". Begging your parents for a price-y themed bag full of merch and/or candy (AKA a showbag) at every carnival and fair. "Playing cricket on the beach on Christmas Day." Drinking cappuccinos sprinkled with chocolate powder. And finally, eating French toast as a savoury food rather than dessert. What was the most surprising thing on this list?
