Unnngh is oof on steroids.

Growing up in the upper Midwest I’m a bit disappointed that Uff da and ope aren’t in there. Well, ope is, but in reference to “open”. Ope is similar to oops.

I see that cattywampus is in there. I think I’ve heard it as kittywampus as well.

Damn autocorrect! You’ll = y’all

[6ppc]

Still got it wrong! It’s caddywhompas!

I hope vomit is still in the dictionary. Gag.

I've got a suggestion for them:

Wuhan [woo-hahn]
noun

1. a lab-created virus that was used by the Chicoms (synonym for "commies") and the Democratic Party (see "Chicoms") to destroy liberty, the American Way, and Donald Trump.

2. a conglomerate city in the capitol of Hubei province where the Wuhan was created.

This has been going on in Australia for 50 years now.

Servo = Service Station (gas plus food/drinks)

Maccos = McDonalds

Strine = Austalian

Arvo = Afternoon

Sanger = Sandwich

Chook = chicken

It was a culture shock for me when I was there. Same language, but everybody talking it and I didn’t understand!

There may be some controversy on the definition(s) of “yeet.”

Cambridge Definition is more like what I’ve heard:

yeet
verb [ T ]
slang
uk
/jiːt/ us/jiːt/
to throw something with a lot of force:
He just grabbed my phone and yeeted it into the river.
Yeet me that water bottle.

[one guy in new jersey]

True dat.

[moovova]

Perfect.

[darkangel82]

That’s “oeuf.”

[null and void]

I don’t mean to egg all y’all on, but that’s enough of the French jokes.

One egg is enough...
