Australian humour is a very tricky thing to understand for outsiders. I was once accused of being racist for telling a story about how I joked that my black friend didn't need sunscreen. Unless you understand how Aussie humour works, you won't understand that I'm actually saying "I don't give a shit about what colour your skin is". For the uninitiated, much of Aussie humour revolves around how much you can "take-the-piss" meaning, "I know where your boundaries are, and I'll show you that I respect you by walking up to that line, but not crossing it". permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] ElHexo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 point 2 years ago* Was at the beach with some mates and had some sunblock, after I SlipSlopSlapped, I asked if my black mate if he wanted some, then quickly corrected myself saying "nah you're alright, anyone else?"
