I had a US colleague ask me today whether Australians really say "we're not here to fuck spiders", which they'd heard on an Instagram reel but thought was a joke. 😂
The fun thing that came out of it was them realising that "Preston doesn't swear" is actually a work habit I follow, not my natural state.
@giflian @backupbear to be fair we don't say the thing about fucking spiders very much, but not because it has fuck in it.
We do say the mutt's nuts, the dog's bollocks [both meaning the best], like tits on a bull [not useful/bad resource allocation], gone tits up [that's broken/the organisational structure has collapsed] and mad cunt [trustworthy and solid friend, great person].
