There are things you can’t say here that you can say on certain occasions back in Australia .Im mainly referring to my favourite two little words . Yep , one is fuck and two is ……….. c*^*t ( I still couldn’t say it ).They all swear and cuss here too , but it’s more selective . In general conversation the odd dropping of the ‘shit’ word may occasionally appear . Dang comes up a bit , and that is lame . The beautiful word ‘ fuck’ is a rarity and that nasty little fucker …. ‘c:;;t , is taboo. The bluntest , vicious , tastiest and most direct descriptive morsel in the Australian And British vernacular is a no no . Period .Take a situation that I decided to go to recently . I was down at Gary and Emma’s place (Aussies) and the guys ( drinking beer of course )were out talking shop on the balcony when Harvey Weinstein came up . One of the guys momentarily got stuck in describing his character . That’s when I stepped in and dropped the lead balloon . ” Yeah I know what your looking for . In Australia we’d call a bloke like him ….. A Cunt .”….. Gaz boy had a big smile as he understood entirely . The poms , they nodded , and then there was the stifled laugh with hand over the mouth by the yanks . It was awkward for a moment , but then we all nodded and laughed . Did I put my foot in it ? Almost . Yep even amongst the blokes with a beer in hand I think I’m gonna have to shelve my little ‘C’. girl until I get back home .
