blueboysixnine (01/03/2016) [-] From what i hear of you murrikans you call it "micky-Ds" which is just way too many syllables for us. Maccas is the superior nickname

kadish (01/03/2016) [-] Grog was the most popular pirate beverage in the Tri-Island Area. It was also one of the most caustic, volatile substances known to man. It is made of "a secret mixture that contains one or more of the following: Kerosene, Propylene Glycol, Artificial Sweeteners, Sulfuric Acid, Rum, Acetone, Battery Acid, red dye#2, Scumm, Axle grease and/or pepperoni".

carneymaster ONLINE (01/03/2016) [-] i like that pepperoni can be substituted for axle grease or just be added to it.

Grog is a type of alcohol... Like rum, or spirits.
Rum is translated to the same name as "room" in norwegian (rom), and when I saw a movie starting with a sailor that drank too much rum and the doc told him to stop, I thought they meant that he drank entire rooms, or entire rooms filled with alcohol and it was about as confusing as it sounds.

I remember a german backpacker getting drunk with me and my friends, he was amazed that we had a drive through bottle-o
was a little worried when he grabbed a knife to destroy an eminem cd, was hoping he wasn't going to get all crazy and start getting stabby

derpthefifth (01/03/2016) [-] I get that it's weird, but honestly if you can understand contextual speech, accept that it's exactly what it sounds like (firewhirls) and you know grog is (or at least was) a kind of alcohol it's not so strange really.... Not anywhere near as bad as trying to understand a Scotsman talk anyway, now there's some people who really don't ******* make sense.

in Aus, we aim to shorten everything to 6 letters or less. Mcdonalds is too long, so BIG M, or MACCAS. Kentucky Fried Chicken is called KFC.
Servo stands for "Service station", which is the old name for where you go to get your car serviced, maintained, tyres, fuel, check tyre pressure. Noone really uses the "Service station" word anymore, really too old school. If you say service station to someone in Aus, we are just gonna look at you like you are some kind of retard.
Its the same with names. If you visit aus, and your name is Jennifer, or Benjamin, your going to have to accept Jenny, or Ben.
