The Perth Thread

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD. IT's ACTUALLY ABOVE 30. WE WILL ALL DIE. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR PAIN

The way they carry on sometimes it's like it's the ****ing apocalypse.

 

[Shane Hird]

The first year I moved here it was in mid January and I thought I was going to die when the first 38 degree day came along.

Like sticking your head in an oven at 180 and breathing in the super heated mother ####ing air.

 

[Off The Couch]

I love the heat - bring it on

 

[Righteo]

Parms

 

[LukasTheGreat]

What do people call the hot chip inside bread? Chip Buddy? Chip Sandwich?

 

[Beerfish]

Parms

Calm your parms?

Isn't it chip butty? Bread butter and chips?

 

[Silent Alarm]

It's chip butty but I always thought it was a tongue-in-cheek thing. That's what the English call them, kind of thought you had to say it in a shocking Mancunian accent.

Parma also. Always said it in WA and say it in Victoria as well. To me, "parmi" is as stupid as "kinder." The point of shortening a word is for vocalisation. You wouldn't vocalise "parm-ee-jana," you say "parm-ah-gana." The same goes for kingergarten; it's never "kin-dee-garten," it's always "kinda-garten." Those pronunciations exist all over Australia. It's not like people in camp parmi say parmigana differently.

Also re: sausage sizzle...

The event is called a sausage sizzle. "Alright boys, everyone needs to do at least two sausage sizzles this season for fundraising" or "...a Bunnings sausage sizzle." No lie about that. What I was trying to say, is how can you eat the event? You don't eat a restaurant, you don't drink a pub (unless you're sucking Revolver dry chargers 09 ). I was trying to say, what do you actually call the thing you eat? "Just had a sausage in bread" is appropriate, don't think it's that bizarre or weird.

Sometimes things don't make sense but still enter common language. It probably started as something like "I'm going to grab a sausage from the sausage sizzle" and was just shortened to "sausage sizzle" because saying you're going to grab a sausage from one is redundant as that's all they serve.

It's just something that has evolved over time. The fact it doesn't make logical sense as such, doesn't mean it's the wrong colloquialism.

Heaven.

Especially if they are swimming in gravy..

This makes no sense
Parmigiana = parmi
Kindergarten = kindy

Parmi, sausage sizzle, kindy and yes it's going to be ****ing hot next week. Love the blokes who work in aircon complaining already about it

Anyone know of any decent American restaurants with some decent buffalo wings?

There's this joint in East Perth that does great ribs. Not sure about the wings though and can't remember what it's called.

Hope this helps.

Tony Romas has the best buffalo wings hands down. DeCribs ( restaurant the poster above me is talking about) does decent wings too.

Varsity bar (Nedlands or Northbridge) and Brooklyn Bar in Claremont also go pretty well.

 

[Beerfish]

DeCribs

That's it.

I didn't realise Lone Star was still around. They one at Innaloo closed years ago as did the Whitfords one.
