Strewth, I could go on forever but I wont, so, avagoodweegend. Now that explains a few things So it's not a Canberra thing, it must be a Will thing As for Australianisms, we tend to say 'No worries' a lot eg if someone says thank you, we'll respond with 'no worries' instead of 'you're welcome'. Also, remember that the bird 'emu' is pronounced 'e-myu' not 'e-moo'. I didn't understand what they were talking about the first time an American asked me about 'emoos'.
I just hope the kids being nicknamed "Ranga" feel as much affection towards orangutans as I do!! So it's not just in England that redheads are considered the one remaining group that everyone can make fun of with impunity then? As the mother of two red-headed, much bullied children I don't know whether that's reassuring or depressing.
Booksloth, in Australia it's the national pastime to "take the mickey" out of everyone and in general there is no maliciousness involved, but I'm very sorry to hear that your children are bullied for whatever reason. They're not now both in 30s but it seems to be pretty standard pastime to pick on redheads of all ages in this country. Sorry - I've been AFK a while.
I sure appreciate all the wonderful suggestions here. I'd take some of y'all up on the taped accent, but VBS starts next Sunday - so I don't think we'd have time. I'll let y'all know how Sydney goes over. Again, thanks for all the help!
Actually, I heard the other day that the Harry Potter series was considered unrealistic, I mean, who ever heard of a red-head kid having two mates? As a redhead who got picked on alot through school, i gotta say i feel for ur sons booksloth! Whoa, easy there Seanie, it's all good fun. In fact, my first wife was a red head. Hey, hey! I really didn't mean that comment about bullying to be taken quite so seriously!
As I've already explained at length in a PM to lovely Imager, my kids son and daughter, btw, Seanie were more generally picked on than actually bullied - though I do see and hear of 'proper' bullying too - and they were pretty well equipped to deal with it. I feel deeply for Seanie and anyone else who has suffered any kind of bullying at school or out of it but I suspect the kind of 'picking on' my two recieved was the kind where a scrap breaks out and the other person has to think of something to say so they pick on the most obvious 'difference'.
For all I know, my two may have responded by hitting out at the other person's weight or wooden leg, whatever was different about them. My point was that red-headedness just seems to be the one thing that can now be joked about, particularly in the British media, with impunity and I do feel for kids still at school today who are getting the fallout from this.
You only have to look at well-known redheads in this country I mentioned particularly in my message to I, people like the Duchess of York, Mick Hucknall, Chris Evans, all of whom have many more annoying traits than the colour of their hair, yet all of whom seem to be dislike mainly for being 'ginger'. In this country nobody is allowed to even notice if someone is overweight I feel okay about using that particular example because I'm not as sylphlike as I once was myself but picking on their hair colour is fair game.
I just feel that if the words 'black' or 'fat' were substituted for 'ginger' in these jokes, there would be an outcry. I certainly don't want to put words into Seanie's mouth but I wonder if it's such 'good fun' for him as it is for bernsad?
My guess is that even if it doesn't actually pierce him to the heart, it's at the very least become a very old and boring joke. And I always thought 'put a sock in it' was an English expression. I've used it all my life. I've heard it here in Chicago. Seems to be universal; it must be needed everywhere. And here I've always thought being a redhead was sort of a privilege granted to only a few.
