Wasn't the meaning clear enough but the word combination simply unfamiliar?
Aren't expressions like "fair dinkum" the ones I have to look up? 🤔0 -
What did you find as the meaning for that one when you looked it up?0
-
Is it the opposite of unfair dinkum?0
-
Isn’t it funny how you’d think an unknown word would spark all kinds of questions, but it turns out it just makes everyone speechless?0
-
Doesn't that scenario sound familiar to teachers everywhere?1
-
Although I can't explain my silence yesterday, does the fact that I got a sleep score of 91/100 for last night and am just shy of four hours of exercise today explain my silence earlier today?Isn’t it funny how you’d think an unknown word would spark all kinds of questions, but it turns out it just makes everyone speechless?
In the context in which I first heard it, didn't it imply fair/honest deal/trade? Didn't the word "dinkum" originally mean "work"? But given that it is supposed to be a common phrase in Australia, wouldn't it be best to ask an Australian for a more reliable definition?

As an Australian wouldnt I say fair dinkum means genuine, authentic, the real deal?
However it is more of an Australian 'stereotype word' rather than something you really hear people say much - does that make sense?0 -
So is that like "shrimp on the barbie"?0
-
did you know we don't even call them shrimps in Australia, we call them prawns?
and that phrase comes from an Australian tourism ad made for the US market (hence the word changed for American audiences) - it is not a phrase used in Australia at all?0 -
Wasn't I aware you call them prawns, and didn't reading about the tourism ad (which I don't remember) starring Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) explain why I knew the phrase? Isn't "prawns" used in the US as well but usually in reference to the larger kind, or on the menu at fancy restaurants?
So who's hungry for some tiger prawns now?

Doesn't sound like that goes well with coffee, does it?0
-
No, but doesn't coffee sound good after my Arctic swim this morning? 🥶0

FOUR hours of exercise in a single day?! Did you run a marathon or something?0 -
I'm going to go with "or something"...is that not more likely?1

I wish, but no, wasn't it a combination of yoga, walk/run, walk, strength training, cardio, swimming and water aerobics? 🧘♂️🏃♂️🚶♂️🏋️♂️🏊♂️🤽♂️0 -

I never cared for "participation ribbons", so would you just hang onto that for me instead?0
-
What’s worse: getting a participation trophy or holding on to someone else’s participation trophy?0
-
As a father who's held onto my kids' participation trophies, does that disqualify me from answering your question?0
-
as I go in fun runs with no expectation of winning but I still enjoy getting my participation certificate - doesn't that disqualify me also?
or is a certificate different from a trophy?0 -
Is it just me or does it seem like @nossmf and @paperpudding are after a disqualification trophy? 🧐0
-
A disqaulification trophy? isnt that an oxymoron?
but then don't some people say fun run is an oxymoron too?0 -
Wouldn't this be a perfect time for me to brag about the 10k Fun Run I participated in a couple months ago? Can I brag about coming in 2nd in my age group (without revealing the fact that there were only two in my age group)? Also, do I have to admit that I was the very last person (by a good margin) to finish the event? Given that, wouldn't you say the medal I was given was indeed a participation medal?

Did you have fun?0
-
Although I did have fun, wasn't I glad when it was over? 😩0
-
isnt it always nice to reach the finishing end in such things?0
-
Yes, and isn't it nice there's always another finish line to reach for?
How's your weather down south?0 -
Can’t ending also be sad?0
-
Is avoiding being sad the reason we work so diligently to keep this thread going?1
-
Did anyone else get a pumpkin spice latte today because why not?
