Yeah, and "down under" here is my puss, not an entire country.

i am intrigued by difference word usage among English-speaking people.

so how would an Australian say

i can't reach that shelf.

reach for the stars.

that boat is out of my reach.

when will a child reach puberty?

i am trying to reach Sydney.

if 'reach' means retch?

She's full of shit LC.

I frequent an australian coin forum I talk with australians on just about a daily basis, and I can guarantee you that aussie is lying out her ass on this one.

So fuckin' what about what a bunch of dipshit coin assholes say. Just because they don't use that word around you doesn't mean it isn't used, dumbass.

All you had to do was google it and it would have came right up. I found it in about two seconds. Aussie is right, again, it IS used in place of retching. STFU.

Thanks Duch. LC, because Australia has so much slang, the word reach on it's own, just means reach.

The word 'root' in Australia also means 'sex'. Here are some terms 'go get rooted', 'he's a real wombat, eats, roots and leaves'. 'Do ya wanna root?'. the list goes on and on.

I agree. She's a stupid bitch who only has her word as "fact". Besides, she's a proven internet liar.

Not sure: Retch: [Origin: 1540–50; var. of reach, OE hrǣcan to clear the throat (not recorded in ME), deriv. of hrāca a clearing of the throat; cf. ON hrǣkja to hawk, spit]

and

This is extremely common in Australia. In fact probably more common than its proper usage. e.g People will say “I dry reached after smelling it” or “I was dry reaching” meaning to gag to the point of vomiting. I assume this stems from the verb to reach; as in a quick forward motion, similar to that of gagging (dry retching).


"var. of reach" ~ Is "reach" the original word and WE are saying it incorrectly? Nah, stupid stuff speads easily. Like "rediculous."

hey Dickie!



today is National Margarita Day! ole!

Oh LC, now I'm craving chips with guacamole and hot salsa.

I think Dick got a headstart on the celebration:

You are assuming I care about what you think.

Meh. Australian ebonics.

My post was in support of IMaDick’s postion. Unfortunately, it seems, once again, your need for center stage dictated a perception of me actually giving a damn about you AND your beliefs. How sad. It’s actually quite pathetic. Or is the proper Australian jargon for your continued behavior, “wretched”?

Okay. That was a bit of a reach on my part. Especially, since I lack your extensive medical training.

I love Sterling. Does that make me ghey?

What's a postion?

Why? How? When? What? Are you sure?

I adored Tiki to no end. Sterling is Tikiesque.
