milton75 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 No surprise to find out a bush doof is s party in the outback; it sounds exactly like the sort of vowel-heavy rhyming nonsense so beloved of slow-witted Australians. So many of their place names and slang words sound like baby-talk, so this makes sense. It works perfectly with that slightly optimistic village idiot accent they employ. A bit like a highlander smiling at you with their vacant eyes as they excitedly ask if you want to go to the "chipper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like a highlander smiling at you with their vacant eyes as they excitedly ask if you want to go to the "chipper". While of course you're entitled to your opinion of 'slow-witted Australians', it is worth noting that many of the place names to which you refer are probably named so due to their indigenous heritage. Indeed, while places like Wagga Wagga and Ulladulla may sound like 'baby talk' to the uninitiated, it's worth bearing in mind they weren't generally imposed by the British colonial powers that settled the interior and are therefore unrelated to the modern society you've decided to criticise. But given the general tone of your post belies your incredible intellect and advanced cultural knowledge it's fairly difficult to see how serious you are trying to be. As to the original post, as plainly irritating as the dungaree-confused muppet is, it's all the more worrying to see how wound up other people get by something that doesn't materially affect them. But again, I suppose that's what social-media obsessed dullards fill their time with these days, rather than actually do something productive with their time.

He said as he got wound up replying to a post on a football website that didn't materially affect him, instead of doing something productive with his time.
