As a Canadian I just want to be called a cunt by Aussies.

Funny , this is an Australian image.

A Canadian would never be offended by this. I love those silly Chazwazzers - A Canadian
ArdentSlacker
pretty sure that's a toboggan.
Musabb
Canadian here. Not even remotely offended. It’s a nice compliment.
BurnieCinders
Aussie jokes often identify who can't take a joke. Some people are too sensitive to be friends with.

Yes, it was intended as such. My mate married a Canadian and she could swear and be a lot more cruder than any of us.
OccultRitualCooking
I mean, as nations we are basically close brothers. It makes sense.
MineRover
Controversial take: New Zealand is to Australia as Canada is to the United States. Canadians are Winter Kiwis.

Ever been skiing in Canada? Did you notice that about two-thirds of all the people working at the resorts were Australians? There's two places in the world you can go to find college-age Australians on working holidays, and that's pubs in the UK and ski resorts in Canuckistan.
FlyingGiantElk
It’s a bit crass to say they are rooting for the soccer team, but I have to ask, who is getting rooted for the soccer team?
tea3agger
Soccer mom's, that's who
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
I do like how a lot of people overlooked that. Maybe they meant they want to root the whole soccer team
YeahNahWot
My grandmother used to "root around in drawers" looking for things.
majorminers
Looking for her rootin wand no doubt.
kadaeux
Don't listen to the parrot, he's a fucken liar.
dripstone
When my aussie friends living in the UK had a kid I sent them 'Roots' baby clothing.
katoutwo8
Friend wore her Roots cap while visiting Australia. They were amused, she was horrified.
HeyOP
But how much friendly conversation from smiling, gleaming eyed strange men was she treated to prior?
katoutwo8
Thank goodness, just smiles and the odd chuckle.

Does "rooting" for the soccer team have another meaning than "cheering for"? I'm a confused yankee..

FlyingGiantElk
Yeah rooting means fucking. You’re not rooting for a soccer team unless you’re treating your wife’s lady bits like a clown car.
flipflopped360
It’s even in lyrics from U.S.’s most famous baseball song, “Take Me out to the Ball Game” which was written in 1908. Final stanza lyrics are “Let me root, root, root for the home team, if they don't win, it's a shame. For it's one, two, three strikes, you're out,. At the old ball game.”

As an american: Whut?

Australian: "Go Canadian soccer team! I want the Cold Aussie team to win!" Canadian: "That term is offensive to us!" Australian: "Shut up, you Snow Hillbilly!"

46 year old Canadian here . You can’t offend me . My generation is the last of the “go outside and play/ come back for supper/ drink out of the warm garden hose/ punch the bully in the face” people. Everyone relax . We will be fine .

I've always thought it was Canadians and Kiwis who were alike? Both the kinder version of their loud neighbour.
gimme
Whoaaaa Australia does not want to be compared to USA.
FuzzyAdventurer
Everybody is wrong here. Aussies are Sun Irish and Canadians are Snow Irish. Scots are just Mountain Irish.
jeejeejerrycotton
They're all English to me and most of human beings alive today. Yes that includes the Irish, unless they don't speak English.
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
So Irish are... elves?
Toffeeaccident
Lowland Scots are drunk(er) Irish.
Cilvaa
Does that make Americans Gun Irish?
Skawomplious
I'm on board with this.
MrSmilingDeath
And then the Gun Nation attacked
Linduvan
That tracks actually because if you ask any Canadian, American or Aussie they'll happily tell you about their Irish ancestor a few generations back. We're all a bit Irish because the Irish shagged everybody back in the day.
FuzzyAdventurer
Rawdogging it too
geotard
and the Irish are drunk
MapleSyrupMafia
To be honest, as a Quebecker I don't feel offended. We're a bit like Australians, we don't speak proper French just like they don't speak proper English. What are they going to do if it pisses them off? Boomerangs don't work as good in dense cold air...
phuzz00
I've had several French mates who've been over to Canada and they have not had anything nice to say about the way you speak French. But that's the French for you ;)
TheFleets
That's okay, we don't have anything nice to say of them when they prance around our universities saying we do everything wrong from speaking to food.

ChristopherHallett
That's missing a section for the white part of the flag - "the countryside"
transientmind
Before my parents had me, they toured France. They said everywhere they went they would try to speak French, but as soon as the French realised they were Aussies and not English, they’d immediately brighten up and switch to speaking English themselves. Not sure if for my parents’ sake or just to prevent them from mangling the precious language any further. Probably both.

Pretty sure half of Canada is married to an Australian so, pretty accurate.
ChristopherHallett
Lol one of my friends from Queensland moved to Canada, married a nice girl, had a kid, and has now moved back home to Australia with his new family.

Just the one Australian?

Yeh, Kev. They just love him for some reason.

What can you expect from someone that spells out countries names without using a capitol letter. Even his own name. :P
FrogBotherer
Maybe his keyboard is broken.

Is the capitol letter the one that determines what order the others have to line up in?
uhohnsaisonme
What's the letter of the seat of the US Congress in Washington DC?

I used to have an aussie friend who explained to me what a Bogan was, and that she was terrified of them lol. I guess they're rednecks to the nth degree.

arfysdad
So, like Floridians from the panhandle, with Confederate flags, and red hats, and married to their cousins?
thatsnotflyingitsfallingwithstyle
Imo (as an Aussie) it can be used affectionately too. I love the bogans in my life. And now that I'm in the US I try to sound more bogan
blessedarethecheesemakers
lol, I thought is was a play on words with toboggan.
HardlyCushing
Explain it to me like I’m five
DeadeicPrints
Imagine if redneck or hillbillies had their own rednecks/hillbillies that they were terrified of.
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
You're five? You probably have better grammar and vocab than bogans.

Basically, they're shit-cunts.
Oh, you meant like a non-Australian five year old.

Canadian here, I don't know what we're meant to do with this. You can't threaten an Australian, there's nothing I could do that's half as bad as they encounter walking to school as kids.

You could tell them to go to America.

You dead right cunno. Much love fron us desert canucks.

My understanding is that getting insulted by an Aussie is a sign of affection. Also applies to Scots.
coothlesscthulhu
Beyond a harsh winter and maybe some bears, your country produces some of the best snipers in the world. So there's that.
StellarJay77
This is because we really like to find a warm comfy place and stay put because there aren't many of those. But sometimes you gotta take an enemy out who's nowhere near your warm comfy spot. Hence sniping.

Sure you can, threaten to send them to the Arctic in the middle of winter. That would terrify most Australians.

Threaten to bring them here. They'll freeze.

apparently Australia is the country that the community feels the most similar to canada. Ill take being compared to australian a lot more than americans

Really? I would bet good money on a moose winning vs a kangaroo any day. I also don't take offense being called a cold Australian either though.

Yes, swooping magpies.

They're okay, good cunts really, just got to respect they're space during nesting season.
CaptainThePirate
It’s well documented that Australians are afraid of Tasmanian devils, because they sent most of them there. :D

SunBrolem
I read somewhere that when dealing with kangaroos, wallabies, etc, standing straight up is a threat display, which is why they try to kill you, but if you just hunch over and bend your legs they are a lot more chill
Freyja33
You can't really blame that Wallaby for being pissed though given the circumstances
xerolf
just realize how dreadfull canada-amounts of snow is to an aussi for them to recognize you as equals.
SlutAtNight
Canadian here, and absolutely thrilled to have my soccer team rooted for, and called a snow Aussie!
danparadox
introduce them to a hungry grizzly/polar bear/wolverine/urban raccoon...I mean, we got choices
Sorcatarius
Not moose or geese?
danparadox
as a canadian, I CAN intimidate a goose. A moose, I could see an aussie getting along with. The others are hungry because then they'd think the aussie's food
Kingstonboy
My neighbor in Nova Scotia. Sorry for potato, mega-zoom. Def not fren, would not touch.
PrincePiggo
That'll just result in several viral videos of Aussies punching the crap out of any or all of the above.
danparadox
Aussie vs. Racoon or Wolverine....that's a fair fight. the other two...
Kingstonboy
priceless, calling them "Cunts" for good measure.

It's fine, I'm friends with an Aussie. He almost died daily in Canada in the winter.

Fuck me man. With El nino this summer I'd say we (southern Australia) will bet getting plenty of days over 40 and probably some over 45.
TheRealFireFrenzy
-53 is an AWEFULLY specific number

I was still able to get my truck to start. I'm not convinced it would have at lower temperatures. The engine really didn't like it.

Itwasmyname
We have a Texas if you'd like. Apparently it has snowed there at least once https://www.weatherarmidale.com/Qldsnow1.htm
Scrier
You genuinely can. We're unprepared for it. I was just having that exact conversation with a Canadian and a Russian. What even is a snow tire?
4EverZw
A snow tire is a tire made of hardpacked snow galvanized with maple syrup. The syrup helps the tires stick to the road in icy conditions.
MattTheMoseyer
Thank you. As a Texan I had only heard snow tires mentioned in movies and television and wasn’t sure what they were.
4EverZw
So seriously, they're a tire made of a softer rubber with higher traction on ice. Also tends to have deep grooves that catch and keep rocks, so they act a bit more like the superior studded winter tires. Btw, that softer rubber wears away quickly on dry pavement in warm weather, so changing them out in spring saves the tread.
YeahNahWot
Couple of days of negative temperatures would pretty much wipe out a good percentage of us.
