Do Ozzy’s say “shrimp on the barby”?

[Zimm]

SheZimm is saying that’s bullshit, and I’m saying Australians do everything stereotypical that is attributed to them. (Good thing they aren’t kiwi’s, ‘cause we know what gets attributed to them). I told her I’d ask them, and defense said they are know to lie. I think it’s all a setup.

Nah, marketing gimmick dreamt up to try to get you guys to fly the 14 hours down under. A shrimp to us is about 1-2cm long, we would be putting prawns on a BBQ if we ever got sick of steaks.
However we do wrestle crocodiles and have kangaroos bouncing down our city streets.

Mmm prawns. A conversation diversion, but this is the pub after all. I’ve never liked Indian cooking, but I assumed it was the American version. So, I ended up have curry prawns in Swansee, Wales, and I went back 4 times in two weeks. The prawns were out of this world. All the Indian cooking was fabulous… here, there are 100 dishes all coming from the same pot. Same flavor for everything.

We put prawns on the BBQ, not shrimps.

The word was changed to shrimps for Paul Hogan's ads to promote Australia to Americans.

SheZimm is dux on this one: shrimps are for the Chinese fried rice.
We put prawns on the barbie just before we get stuck into the Ben Ean with the Sheilas.

While we’re on it… “Ozzy” is a recently deceased singer (RIP). Oz produces Aussies.
“Australians” is what our pollies call us when they want something.

Ozzy was the guy from Black Sabbath.
Then there is Austen Tayshus

What are the truths to all the Yanks stereotypes.
Are rednecks all married to their siblings and brewing moonshine in a wooden outhouse?

 

[Krabby]

Yes.

As for the original question, despite what actual Australians are saying, they’re lying as they do, they most certainly say that. I believe it’s actually on the back of their money. Who needs E. Pluribus Unum?

I distinctly remember a commercial for Ozs national culinary pride - Outback Steak House - where a man drinking Ozs most beloved national libation - Foster’s Original - ordered us to in-fact “put another shrimp on the bah-bee!” People inside my television never lie, unlike Aussies.

The funny part about nicknames, is, unless you’re a made man, no one asks your approval. It just happens.

You’re Ozzy’s.

 

[Coullabus]

Can we trust American lexicography? They say trunk instead of boot, pants instead of trousers, but at least they add an ‘e’ to Whisky to differentiate from the proper dram - their vernacular avoiding damage to Scots heritage
With Australians allowances are made for their use of spoken language.

SheZimm “did you ask if it’s prawns on the Barbie?”

me “no”

Her “why not”

Me “why would I? That wasn’t the discussion”

Her “men are assholes. Ask”

Me “no”



So naturally I’m to close to retirement to pay off another one, so, is it “prawns on the Barbie”?

If an Aussie was going to cook a small aquatic crustacean on a barbeque they may use the phrase "prawns on the barbie", but we would use the phrase about as often as you guys might use the phrase "squeal like a pig, boy". I am sure that some where, at some time, in some social situations the phrase is used but not very often.

USVI is part of the US, so I'm guessing that has been said plenty of times at an Epstein party. Just check the files.

We don't really use slang for our seafood, a prawn is a prawn is a prawn. But we use the term prawn in our slang or idioms, such as "don't come the raw prawn with me, mate" or "I'm off like a bucket of prawns in the sun" or you might say someone looks like a prawn (nice body, unfortunate head).

And rooster instead of cock. Cock being a Viking word.

"Why is a rooster called a cock?
The word can be traced through the Middle English cok, from Old English coc, cocc 'cock, male bird', from Proto-West Germanic *kokk, from Proto-Germanic *kukkaz, probably of onomatopoeic origin. It is cognate with Middle Dutch cocke (also meaning 'cock, male bird') and Old Norse kokkr."

"The word rooster is an American invention"

Because they can't bring themselves to call it a cock.
What's that restaurant chain again?
Not Los Pollos Hermanos

I wonder why residents of Cockburn in WA pronounce it "Coh-burn"?

C’mon gents. BBQing prawns is some sort of Peter Russell-Clarke effort. Be serious.
