This appears not to be Australian or "from down under" at all. Apparently just a joke language, collecting clichéd, stereotyped Australianisms.
(Sydney here) I'm sure I'm not the audience for this, but this feels rather mean-spirited to say the least. It's feels like it's intended to be "punching down". I flagged it. Maybe I totally misunderstood. The 3 existing comments here give me the same feeling - poor/crass/pointless attempts at humour like what would ordinarily get downvoted, written as if they're witty and hilarious.
Sorry you feel that way, it is meant to be a low-brow joke language, but definitely not supposed to feel mean-spirited. The language spec was originally designed by mostly Australians.
Uh ok sorry. I guess the context for me is a string of 100% crazy mentions of Australia on HN lately - Australia is a totalitarian police state, Australians should all have guns to resist covid lockdown, etc. Apart from that, the usual dangerous-Australian-animal porn.
"This type of humor" is one thing coming from Australians, entirely another just claiming to be from Australia, like it seemed to me. Well, a lot of the meanings were suspiciously accurate, much better than you find on the usual "Aussie english for americans" web pages! Anyway.. good luck.
>Australians should all have guns to resist covid lockdown
You just _know_ where this comment is coming from, its so funny.
That belief that guns fix everything is something only two places can produce and one of them doesn't use the internet for the most part, let alone HN.
