From another page of Australian slang: "Brown-eyed mullet : a turd in the sea (where you're swimming!)"

Why is this deserving of its own slang? How common is the occurance?

― Remy (x Jeremy), Sunday, 20 March 2005 08:22 (twenty years ago)

The beauty of Australian slang is that the occurences are always commonplace; yet they are portrayed with such pungent laconicism that one sees them through new eyes.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 21 March 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

I know you think it's a real drag
To suck my cunt when I'm on the rag
Quit making up stories, ah, give me a break
'Cause I really don't believe that you've got a headache
You tell me it's gross to suck my yeast infection
How do you think I feel when I gag on your erection? ugh!
You're wasting your tongue with lame excuses and lies
Get your face between my thighs

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 21 March 2005 03:28 (twenty years ago)

why on earth was I was thinking it might've been some bread-baking subculture, similar to all those girls who go to clubs and knit nowadays?!

― 'haitch' (haitch), Monday, 21 March 2005 03:37 (twenty years ago)

They're those big girls you see wearing capes, formless velvet dresses etc, who are into roleplaying, writing fan fiction about Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy banging and have very questionable hygiene.

Haitch, you're not too far off.

hi edward hows the gong?

what position you playing jim?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:29 (twenty years ago)

The gong is fine. So close to Sydney, yet so far from God, as they might say, if they said such things. Who are "they"?

Sitting in my "office", marking papers, stealing sugar sachets from the staff kitchenette, pondering recent socially awkward situations, blaring crap pop singles on iTunes and trying to re-record the voice-mail message on the phone extension but HATING the way my voice sounds each time.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:30 (twenty years ago)

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. One of my students asked me in a tute yesterday: "So, when are you going to be giving a lecture in this subject?". My answer: "According to the schedule, um, never. Thankfully.". Unfortunately, when my supervisor heard about this, she grinned and said "Always next session!". Eek.

I do NOT record or amplify well.

My brother bought a vocoder thingy. Except you had to assemble it. He never assembled it. Would talking through a wad of paperwork do the job? The one that's there is so bad, I must do something soon!

I should probably NOT mention cute undergrads. I got accused of giving a high mark to one because she was "blonde, pretty and 18". I mark blind, though, honest, guv.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:50 (twenty years ago)

Obviously this isn't standard practice.

― Kate's evil twin (papa november), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:51 (twenty years ago)

it must be hard to see the papers.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 8 April 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

Indeed. Actually, I just don't look at the student name when I mark. Which is complicated because SOME PEOPLE PUT IT IN HEADERS/FOOTERS AARGGHH.

As it turns out, the student in question IS blonde, pretty and.. 19. Such keen insight from my colleague, who was actually just joking.

HI DERE TEH AMAZING TAD

― haitch (haitch), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Tad, are people constantly asking you how you feel about the pope having died?

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:12 (twenty years ago)

no, not really. i also don't live in a predominantly polish-american neighborhood. (NYC's polish neighborhood is greenpoint, over in brooklyn).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

i'm of a mixed mind of it, myself. i'm grateful for all that he did for poland before 1989, not to mention some of his stances on social justice. on the other hand, i didn't like his positions on abortion, birth control, dissent w/n the church, the pedophile priest thing, etc. add that to the fact that i'm not AT ALL religious (interesting fact -- the unitarians started in poland!).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:16 (twenty years ago)

I just thought perhaps people at work were asking you constantly. I've been asked AT LEAST TWENTY TIMES. "Yes! I have a Polish name! Yes! I _was_ Catholic. But they basically kicked me out for being a Child of Satan, so they can all rot." would be my dream response, but I am mild mannered.

― edward o (edwardo), Friday, 8 April 2005 01:20 (twenty years ago)

i was at work on saturday, when he died. and i did get into some interesting conversations w/ some co-workers -- one of whom is jewish, another eastern orthodox -- wr2 JPII, polish people and jewish people, the church, etc. all friendly and respectful, of course. anyway, one thing that i DID admire in JPII was his ecumenicalism and how he tried to improve relations between the church and the jews.

i was mostly sad in that with JPII dying, another link to my grandparents is gone. i still remember how ecstatic my grandmother -- who was born in poland -- was when JPII was appointed, and how her home had all sorts of JPII-oriented stuff (including a big painting of the pope). she died in 1994, and now the pope is gone. :-(
