would you understand their Brummie dialect

I went to university in Manchester and stayed there for 20 years...even after all that time, people would sometimes ask me which part of Birmingham I come from! Apparently, I have a slight Brummie accent so understanding it is not going to be a problem.

I'm more fluent in Brummie than I am in Aussie so understanding you eyepopslikeamosquito could be more challenging if we were ever to meet 😜

But yarnin' with you'd be hard yakka, you'd look like a stunned mullet. No worries mate, we'd go out woop woop for some amber fluid and chuck a banger on the barbie. She's apples, Bob's your uncle! :-) BTW, re Shrimp on the barbie, very few use the word 'shrimp' in Australia (the word most commonly used is 'prawn') and the phrase is often perceived as American (see also: Don't come the raw prawn). Updated: added reference to Shrimp on the barbie and Don't come the raw prawn 👁️🍾👍🦟	[reply]
