when I came to Australia looooong time ago, one of my new aussie mates called me "a funny basterd".... I almost knocked his front teeth out
Lol, it's true, in Australia you can call someone a sick c@&T and it's a compliment, lol,
Honestly, where I work, you have to have an extremely thick skin, nothing appears to be off limits, by everyone,
Every insult under the sun is dished out on a daily basis,
Mum jokes, wife jokes, race jokes, personal illness jokes, sexuality jokes, there is nothing at all politically correct by the constant barrage of insults handed out day in day out,
At the end of the day, it's all said in fun and deep down everyone has respect for each other and would help each other out without question, like family,
I think insults are only hurtful if handed out by someone who you don't know well enough to have developed a true mutual respect.
It's funny how I laugh at stuff they call me, that I would knock someone else out for saying the same thing,
Like I said guys, respect is a massive thing, it needs to be earned and then you can go hell for leather,
