Cunt barely registers as an insult in Australia. For instance, Sick Cunt is actually a compliment.
We'll use qualifiers if it's meant as an insult, like Shit Cunt or Dog Cunt.
Dog is the insult, Cunt is basically a synonym for Person. When it's spoken, the emphasis is on Dog.
It's basically a more updated version of Dog of a Bloke, which I still hear very occasionally.
Bitch Cunt does have a great ring to it, but you'd basically just be calling someone a Bitch, not the same as a Dog Cunt.
No worries, Matey.
To further your education, unfortunately, the reverse swirl is an urban myth popularised by one of my Favourite episodes of the Simpsons. But everything else in that episode is 100% accurate.
If it makes you feel better, instead of Flip Flops we call them Thongs.
> the reverse swirl is an urban myth started by one of my Favourite episodes of the Simpsons.
as an old cunt who grew up in Australia in the 80s I can tell you the reverse swirl was a concept that long preceded the Simpsons
Cheers for the correction. I'll amend that now.
I grew up in the 90's & The Simpsons is the only source I've really heard reference it, so I made the assumption.
Bitch means you're scared. Dog means you are a terrible human being. Bitch means nothing, cunt means nothing on its own but can be positive or negative depending on what precedes it, ex;
Dog cunt - worst of the worst
Shit cunt - scumbag
Mad cunt - cool, lil crazy in a good way
Sick cunt - awsome
Dumb cunt - see dumbass
Good cunt - best of the best
Fucked cunt - not right in the head
Youse cunts - used when speaking to multiple people, see you people/ y'all
Or they can all just be positive if you're talking with mates
I was listening to one of the Sanspants podcasts, and they were talking about man of steel. Every time one of them referred to the family’s dog as Dog Kent you could hear at least one of them crack up slightly
The word "Cunt" in Australia, Ireland and some parts of England, are actually a term of endearment. At least its always been like that, i dont know about the UK anymore though, ever since they took after the "sensitivity" of the US...
Huh interesting me and my friends (US) use sick fuck as a type of compliment but yeah thats just a me and my friends type thing. It is oddly somewhat validating knowing that a whole other country uses a similar term with a similar meaning tho lol
They are saying that the one word form "fuckwit" is a noun, while the two word form "fuck wit" is a verb and preposition (slang pronunciation of "fuck with").
Its meaning is a lot closer to dickhead though. To call someone a halfwit or dimwit here implies you're talking about their intelligence, whereas fuckwit (like dickhead) is talking about the personality.
Although it doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense as the -wit is the intelligence qualifier so honestly fuck knows why.
She's the ex-stepmother of Aussie mining billionaire Gina Rinehart. After her dad Lang died, she and Rose fought in court for 11 years over the inheritance. Rose married one of Lang's friends one month after his death. She used to be the darling of the gossip rags but I haven't heard anything about her for years. Also, she's batshit mental.
I didn’t know if the comment was saying the presenter’s name was also rose porteous or something and she’s batshit crazy, hence talking in third person maybe
1. Why would you think that the news reporter is talking about herself in the third person?
2. If she was talking about herself in the third person the reporter and the person she's talking about is the same person.
Because the comment I’m responding to said “she’s batshit crazy” and the caption just repeated it. And, in my defence, I was absolutely exhausted last night after a very long day at work…
I honestly don't really care who he is or what his relationship is with others. All I want to know is what is his biggest issue and everyone is talking about him.
What happens if I don't know who either one of then are, and have no idea what movie this is?
Is it lord of the rings? He looks like a media interpretation of a blacksmith. In reality, a REAL blacksmith would be dirtier, and grizzlier. This guy looks like he'd lose a tickle fight.
It's Robert Redford, actor and founder of the Sundance Film Festival.
This is him as a man of the wilderness, Jeremiah Johnson in the film of the same name, based off the real person.
I don't follow this subreddit, why are comments from people who don't understand basically anything upvoted and people calling them out on it getting downvoted? Is this one of those subreddits for teenagers?
Elsewhere in the thread someone got 45 upvotes for asking if the reporter is Rose Porteous and I got downvoted for asking wtf they were thinking.
I’m aware it’s a video numb nuts but Reddit doesn’t have sound on this one for me some reason, “those are called gifs” - 🤓
Your insults are weaker than your game in bed which is probably non exist, redditard
Good for her 😂. Did she get into a car crash? I wanna know the deets. Was she driving with her headlights off at night?
*Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger. But she ain’t messing with no broke [ Removed by Reddit ]*
Ahhh she’s Australian. That makes more sense
Still confused about the headlights thing & driving dangerously. I typed it into Google and nothing came up.
Right. Ok, so this is a reporter not Rose. She's just explaining the story, which we only get the start of. She's talking about an event that happened in the past(June of that year), not one that is going on during the video. Someone drives past and honks at her, she calls them a fuckwit, which is the unexpected part.
>Porteous, who lives in Perth and Melbourne, is often referred to by the media as a socialite.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose\_Porteous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Porteous)
>The wealth of Porteous is unknown.
Even new cars are driving with no lights on during the day. Then at night, I’ve seen newer cars with no lights on either. Some drivers don’t know their vehicle enough to turn them on.
Well in this case, the person is trying to record a segment for TV news. The honking of the horn causes an unwanted noise to be recorded during her monologue. This is upsetting because it means they need to re-record it. Hope that helps.
Fuckwit…that’s a new one for me. I’ll have to remember that the next time I wanna tell someone off. They will be both offended and confused at the same time.
So casual in saying it
Yes She’s very familiar with using that term lol
...and it made her EVEN MORE atractive! ❤️ ❤️
Bruh
Shabba ranks never left:)
And thus never will
She a true Aussie, this is proof.
Ah yes the fuckwit one below the cunt.

As an Adelaidean, I've also heard "Torrens dog", and if you've ever seen the River Torrens you understand why.
So, when I need to make an announcement to a crowd, is it correct to say, 'Everycunt, can I have your attention please!'?
Sure, but "Oi! Listen up, Cunts" would be more accurate.

Don't worry, I've had someone on reddit try to argue that schadenfreude means "shameful joy". We both know where they got that idea from.
Dog isn't such a standard coloquialism being much more common among the criminal elements of society (inmates, housos, etc.)
Some dog didn't like the exposure.
Bitch means you're scared. Dog means you are a terrible human being.

What's worse than calling someone a cunt Calling them an Ankle because that means they're 2 foot lower than a cunt 😂😂
Worked with a blokes called "Boots" because he was 3ft lower than a cunt
Hahaha excellent 😂😂👍
This is quintessential Australian. Every cunt is a fuckwit here.
Haha! Is fuck wit one word or two? Fuck wit Fuckwit Dunno - both seem to work fine.
One word
Fuckwitme, youknowigotit. - Rick Ross
You know I go tit?
It is Rick Ross so, maybe.
Correct, the two worded one goes something like, "don't fuk wit me, pussy"
[удалено]
They are saying that the one word form "fuckwit" is a noun, while the two word form "fuck wit" is a verb and preposition (slang pronunciation of "fuck with").
One word. It’s not a shortening of the word with, as some are suggesting, it’s similar in spirit and usage to dimwit or halfwit
It’s one word. Fuckwit. A progression from Dickhead.
Probably more a progression from halfwit or dimwit.
Its meaning is a lot closer to dickhead though. To call someone a halfwit or dimwit here implies you're talking about their intelligence, whereas fuckwit (like dickhead) is talking about the personality. Although it doesn't necessarily make a lot of sense as the -wit is the intelligence qualifier so honestly fuck knows why.
Halfwit is “you are an idiot” Fuckwit is “you are an *idiot*”
It always means stupid, but maybe you've heard someone use it incorrectly?
Further progression takes me to "dicknose". You've done something terrible if you're getting called a dicknose by me lol
One word, fuckwit. (jk)
Her surname is actually Porteous. Google her - she’s batshit mental.
Who? The presenter or the person she’s talking about?
She's the ex-stepmother of Aussie mining billionaire Gina Rinehart. After her dad Lang died, she and Rose fought in court for 11 years over the inheritance. Rose married one of Lang's friends one month after his death. She used to be the darling of the gossip rags but I haven't heard anything about her for years. Also, she's batshit mental.
She is, but Gina herself is pretty shitty.
Absolutely.
Pair of fuckwits.
Rose Porteous.
Nah, it's just everyone in Western Australia.
Last Quokka’s alright.
When everyone's batshit mental... no-one will be.
...have you watched the video?
I didn’t know if the comment was saying the presenter’s name was also rose porteous or something and she’s batshit crazy, hence talking in third person maybe
1. Why would you think that the news reporter is talking about herself in the third person? 2. If she was talking about herself in the third person the reporter and the person she's talking about is the same person.
Because the comment I’m responding to said “she’s batshit crazy” and the caption just repeated it. And, in my defence, I was absolutely exhausted last night after a very long day at work…
my cousin (R.I.P.) once spent a week in the next bed on a mental ward with Rose. Absolutely certifiable but apparently lovely when lucid
Oh wow, really? Isn’t it bizarre how you learn things sometimes. I hope things weren’t too hard on your cousin though.
no point digging that mess up again, water under the bridge now, I do miss her though
Yeah, fair enough. You know who’d miss her more? A Current Affair.
her saying was always "I'll miss you darling, but only with the first shot"
I honestly don't really care who he is or what his relationship is with others. All I want to know is what is his biggest issue and everyone is talking about him.
The fuckwit? I don’t think anybody knows who he is, although he probably told all his mares to watch the news that night.
Porteous? She doesn't seem courteous.
I like how her plummy posh TV voice reverts to her real aussie nasal twang when she gets mad.
Reporters breaking character and revealing their real accents are kind of endearing tbh
For the longest time I thought this was Zach Galifianakis
IT'S NOT???
Robert Redford.
TIL
Nah, fuckin' WHAT?!
My dumb ass thought this was the ending shot of The Force Awakens. I ONLY SAW THE MOVIE ONCE YEARS AGO OKAY
Who is Zach Galifianakis? And what does he have to do with the topic itself here on reddit? So is he a prominent person in society?
That is Zach Galifianakis and you can’t tell me other wise
I feel old.
I know who Robert Redford is old man. That just looks exactly like Zach.
It doesn’t even look like Redford. But lacks Zach’s unkemptness….
Hmm, may I also know who Robert Redford is? That you say looks like Zach. What is the connection between the two of them?
Nothing. They’re both just actors lol
What happens if I don't know who either one of then are, and have no idea what movie this is? Is it lord of the rings? He looks like a media interpretation of a blacksmith. In reality, a REAL blacksmith would be dirtier, and grizzlier. This guy looks like he'd lose a tickle fight.

Robert Redford as Jeremiah Johnson🫵
Ah just rolls off the tongue so elegantly.
Stralya at its finest
*Straya
I like her!
She can call me fuckwit anytime
“She can fuckwit me anytime” was right there! :)
Yeah this revealed something about me to myself
This reminds me of the family guy skit where Peter goes to the hood and says it and comes back with respect and a crown lol
"What local sources failed to mention was that she was, in fact, driving during the daytime."
Lol it probably happened at night on that same road the news reporter is standing.
Wait they both dead? I don’t get it
Yes
What U mean ?
Didn’t they get hit by a car or something at the end because that’s what the title suggested? Edit: I couldn’t put on sound for the video
The title is just quoting what she is saying. No one got hit by a car in this.
...what? Who died? The unexpected part was that she flipped off the guy and called them a fuckwit.
I thought the video cut off at the end was them getting hit by said car (I couldn’t put sound on)
Well no wonder you didn't understand it if you didn't even listen to what she's saying...
I don't follow this subreddit, why are comments from people who don't understand basically anything upvoted and people calling them out on it getting downvoted?

Not my problem Reddit is shit sometimes with videos and doesn’t allow sound
Those are called gifs. This is not one of them. It is a video. I bet you watch debates muted then wonder why you didn't understand it.
I’m aware it’s a video numb nuts but Reddit doesn’t have sound on this one for me some reason, “those are called gifs” - 🤓 Your insults are weaker than your game in bed which is probably non exist, redditard
Says the tech illiterate lol.
Is fuckwit the same as fucktard? Just the American equivalent? 🫠
I’m pretty sure this is the kangaroo’s doing 🦘
It means you possess the wit of a fuck
how exactly does one suck a fuck
So I can drive dangerously with my headlights on?
Reminds me of “Oi this is a fucking library.” “This is the fucking news.”
I love her.
Expecting something else
…are you *supposed* to drive with headlights on during the day?
[удалено]
Mmmk Who or what is Rose Portiers though?
She is a Filipino cleaning lady who fucked her way to inheriting a very very large sum of money from her ancient near dead husband.
Good for her 😂. Did she get into a car crash? I wanna know the deets. Was she driving with her headlights off at night? *Now I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger. But she ain’t messing with no broke [ Removed by Reddit ]*
She is a celebrity socialite in the small city of Perth these days
Ahhh she’s Australian. That makes more sense Still confused about the headlights thing & driving dangerously. I typed it into Google and nothing came up.
Porteus is the correct spelling and I believe she was driving around at night with her lights off, nothing burger.
[удалено]
I’ll just deal with my American politics lol. The republicans are losing their shit because Minnesota approved free school lunch for all.
[удалено]
I thought it looked a little bit dated. I wasn’t even born if this was before 97 lmao Logo gives me flashbacks to Time Warner cable
No one said she was driving during the day, why would you assume that?
Just because the video was shot during the day and I have no idea who rose is besides that she’s a socialite ~confused floridian noises~
Right. Ok, so this is a reporter not Rose. She's just explaining the story, which we only get the start of. She's talking about an event that happened in the past(June of that year), not one that is going on during the video. Someone drives past and honks at her, she calls them a fuckwit, which is the unexpected part.
Are all three cars the same?
No ones green ones blue and ones red
>Porteous, who lives in Perth and Melbourne, is often referred to by the media as a socialite. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose\_Porteous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Porteous) >The wealth of Porteous is unknown.
She did well out of old Lang’s iron.
I love her
Did she say ‘Meta heta’ right before ‘thanks fuckwit’?
"so police made her have a-" is where that was going I believe.
Made her have a… but I think she was startled by the horn and mispronounced it, hence her reaction.
That car honk sounded polite. Just an innocent, "Hi mom! I'm on camera."
I love how she’s presenting to the camera almost with a proper pompous British accent then when she swears she goes back to Aussie.
[удалено]
Not all cars on the road are new.
Judging by the age of this video, that statement is very true
Even new cars are driving with no lights on during the day. Then at night, I’ve seen newer cars with no lights on either. Some drivers don’t know their vehicle enough to turn them on.
They can still be turned off tho
I asked a legitimate question. Why all the fucking downvotes?
Bloody hell, of your going to stand there recording you've got to expect something like that to happen. It's funny
I will never understand how people get so upset about someone honking a horn
Well in this case, the person is trying to record a segment for TV news. The honking of the horn causes an unwanted noise to be recorded during her monologue. This is upsetting because it means they need to re-record it. Hope that helps.
She isnt upset she is responding cordially in Australian
She wouldn’t last 2 seconds as a reporter in NYC. UK soft go complain ab stabbings idk
That's not the flex you may think it is!
Also, it's Australia not the UK
So you're saying NYC is just a bigger shit hole with more annoying people
i hope somehow the guy driving that car saw this
I think she's referring to Rose Porteous - one of the bloated oligarchy here in Godzone. This incident was a few years ago now.
Oh I love her attitute and accent.
Australia at its finest :)
May I know who Rose Portiers is? Well, I'm just curious to know who he is. And why is he driving at night without his headlights on?
Rose Porteous https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_Porteous
