Aussie’s Share Creative Ways of Saying Someone Isn’t Very Smart, and We Cant Stop Laughing!

When it comes to friendly banter, Australians really have a way with words! Not only do they inject a healthy dose of humour into an insult, they also somehow manage to deliver it in a way that makes it feel more like a matey slap on the back, than a metaphorical punch in the face. Recently, people took to the Reddit group AskAnAustralian to share their uniquely Australian ways of saying someone isn’t very smart, and some them are too hilarious not to share.
