Also please tell me where you're from, cos I hear on Tumblr that this phrase is Aussie but I'm Aussie and it doesn't sound fucking Aussie to me. Do foreigners know this? This just seems like a normal fucking sentence.

I notice none of you have told me where youre from, so first of all, disappointed

But secondly of all, what that fuck are you all talking about? Since no one said otherwise, imma assume this is common internationally and you're all just specifically not culturally engaged with your peers. No way first come blessed dressed is aussie slang. It's too normal

I'm American and I've never heard this before in my life until this moment.

I’ve never heard it, and can’t quite puzzle out what it means.

@derinthescarletpescatarian have you ever heard this one?

Yes, it's a very common phrase. I agree, there is no way this is an Aussie thing, if we'd invented it then it would be way weirder. Surely we stole it from the English or the Americans. Someone.

I would never have suspected it was Aussie from its, you know, general demeanour, but the responses being a mix of "I've never heard of this" and "What do you mean you haven't heard it?! I (Australian) hear it all the time (in Australia), literally everyone (in Australia) says it! Clearly it's the kids (non-Australian) who are wrong!" strongly implied this was one of those universal experiences where the universe was one country, and for once it's not the USA.

Oh, that and it makes no fucking sense.

Okay but what does it actually mean?????

I don't really know

Thought I did, but everyone's kinda disagreeing lol. I know both more and less than I did when I posted the poll!

they call my dick excalibur. because it sat in a lake for a long time . no other reasons

You know. Some people could really stand to get more comfortable with the idea of “you shouldn’t say that because it’s mean”. Especially with really common body shaming and straight up bullying lines.

“You shouldn’t make ugly bald jokes because what if a transman on T sees it!”

“You shouldn’t make virgin jokes because what if someone who’s asexual sees it!”

How about you just don’t make them because they’re mean. How about people can be balding or a virgin for a number of reasons and also don’t deserve to be routinely made fun of. How about saying that the reason you shouldn’t make x joke because it spares x specific identity’s feelings also let’s them know that you actually have no problem saying or thinking bald people are ugly or virgins are stupid or etc but you’re just not saying it in front of them. How about you understand this kind of body shaming and bullying especially in a very public setting online are always going to have way more unintended damage to people who did nothing wrong than damage to the person you’re upset with.

Sometimes the best reason to not make a bad joke like that is because it’s fucking mean.
