Why the fuss about Salty playing an Australian....or perchance a real Australian ?

I like the crazy, but I like the believable even more. All in good fun.


I would like this forum to have an international feel to it.

I'm still not convinced. If you read or listen to speeches as much as I like to, you pick up on patterns and accents.

Not claiming to have an eye or ear for Australian English, but I have my doubts.

For example I recently overheard a nice young couple speaking. First thought was Colombian. Sure enough, a few seconds later, the girl says something to the effect of "back in Colombia."

Salty is Turkish. Originally Posted by eccieuser9500

Good scenes. Brad Pitt's italian accent is a hoot. Also the extreme humor about Mountain Climbing.

I can usually recognize a Colombian too, the females anyway. And I don't need no stinking accent to know. They're the best looking women in hooker bars. And the best looking women in Panama period. If you're walking down the street in Panama City and see an attractive woman, nine times out of ten she's a Colombian or Venezuelan hooker.

Trying to give the forum more of an international feel. Hasta la vista amigo!

I'm a phonetics hound, not a literal linguist.

I’m somewhat of a cunning linguist myself, bro.

How are you with the Slavonic accents?

And COYS!

I went to get some blood drawn once, and the main phlebotomist had an Eastern European accent. When she said most people generically guess she was Russian, I blurted out Macedonian. She smiled and said I was close.

I knew the region.

Conservative party = liberals = teal (formerly blue)
labor party = conservatives = blue????
Green party = liberals = green

so, the greenies pulled off a con job on their bullshit climate agenda.


but the real reason for the conservative parties defeat was their heavy handed covid lockdown.

Or maybe people in this country all of a sudden give a flying fuck about politics in Australia while the stock market is crashing, Russia is creating havoc that is affecting the global economy, interest rates are rising, the price of gas is ridiculous and inflation has skyrocketed more than it has in decades. But yeah; what's going on in politics in Australia?

Own it or don't post it, homeboy. No need to play stupid.

You have no clue. Just as you have no clue whether or not Salty is Australian. Yet you bring in up hundreds of times, like it matters or something.



Stay in your lane Lucas.
