Imagine being one of like TEN new countries in the last century-odd and deciding to make your "culinary contribution" to the world rebadged marmite and sprinkles on buttered bread.

Fucking travesty.

Also FYI marmite/Vegemite are what are called "woodchip products", in that they are artificially created markets for waste products from the primary use

@arichtman I'm pretty sure the term 'grub' is Australian, is also pretty, and would probably be a hard sell.

@arichtman by the way, is it true that australians greet each other by saying "oi cunt"?

@getimiskon only if you're very friendly. Otherwise it's life-or-death after you say that.
Hope this helps :)

@arichtman yeah, it reminds me that people here call others wankers, friendly or not

@getimiskon huh... I'd assumed the Greek equivalent of wanker was Mykonosian or something (this is a joke, I'm stretching for it here)

@arichtman it's "Malakas", it literally means "wanker". The funny thing is that there's a city with a similar-sounding name which I jokingly say to some people " hey, are you from that city?"

@arichtman oh, by the way, it's funny you're talking about that island. As far as I know it was a destination that originally gay people used to go to, but for a long time now only rich tourist scums spend their summer there

@getimiskon ohhh yea I recall that from high school slurs and racism. It's super funny here cause the Greek community younguns can sometimes be quite into their heritage but then the visit Greece proper and get fucking ragged on cause they learned Greek from their nonna/grandma and so they sound like old people over there
