Most Aussie guys EVER with a 'busted plugger'?? | American Reacts

[@grandmothergoose]

Translations: Stubbies = shorts (also a small beer bottle) Busted plugger = broken flip flop 000 = emergency (Aussie 911) Servo = gas station Oporto = a fast-food restaurant Tha Mootdangas - a fishing group/club Manager = girlfriend/wife/female partner Aussies have a strange habit of confronting criminals with whatever is available. Some notable incidents include: A Melbourne man used a coffee jar to fight off a car jacker An Adelaide man chased off a home invader with a didgeridoo A group of people in Sydney used a couple of cafe chairs and a milk crate to subdue a knife wielding murderer A Gold Coast grandmother chased, tackled and brought down a rather large man that had snatched her handbag.

Australian english, English english, Candian english & French-Canadian english, New Zealand english, Welsh english, Scotish english, Irish english etc. And of course a complete selection of the various American english dialects, like Southern, Bostonian, New Yorker etc. etc. The idea had me in stiches for a few mins, still chuckling a bit as I'm typing this out.

[@garros]

@@daniellesymons1569Back when things were a reasonable price, I wouldn't have dreamed of fixing some thongs, but now that a pair of Haviannas is about $30 or more, and whilst they are usually fairly good quality, they don't always live up to their brand name. I've had perfectly good pairs pop out within a couple of weeks, and I discovered that if you can get a good piece of robust plastic that's also thin enough not to ruin the feel of the thongs, you can superglue the clip in place and prevent wasting hard-earned money. When you buy so much online like I do, returning stuff that's worth that kind of money is a real pain the butt and hardly worth the trouble, so I've really appreciated being able to simply fix a pair in the circumstances I mentioned. But really, paying $40-odd for thongs, however stylish and/or blinged up they are is absurd, obviously, but I do it because I like what I like in t3rmw of style and comfort, as well as colour, and I have big feet and Haviannas have the sizes I need in all their lines, so it ends up being worth it for me as long as they live up to my expectations of quality, and they have been fairly reliable, to be fair. Let's face it, some people's feet are so disgusting and fungus-ridden that I'd pay more than $50 to shout them some thongs so their feet can bloody breathe and feel the disinfecting power of good old sunshine on them. lol It's cheaper than buying anti-fungal creams and seeing a podiatrist... not to mention having no friends because no-one can get near you hahaha

Ryan, 'pluggers' are rubber thongs, or as you call them, rubber flip flops. A busted plugger is one of the three rubber plugs that fit into the rubber base of the flip flop. If any of the base the three plugs are in splits around them (often from exertion, twisting it) and they fall out, they become unwearable, and it's often the toe plug. The hero then went barefoot. 😂
