Do you have different baths over there? I think it’s pretty tub shaped

oh no, its not that... its not that the objects aren’t tubby, they are tub-like

it’s just that the australian (and i presume english) term... is bath

it refers to both the action (”i’m gonna go have a bath”) and the object (”hey does your bath work?” or “this house comes with a shower and a bath”)

#cutiepie-tro #and thats bath pronounced the way americans say barf #to answer ur question the shape of baths aren't different here #its just the word is different #cuz we all... talk differently #yeah american terms have slipped into australian culture #cuz we all watch tv so its unavoidable #but for the most part we use english terms #or our own terms/phrases #(eg. the shop(s) instead of the store #the big shops instead of the mall. #trackies or tracky dacks instead of sweat pants) #(yeah aussies either use very simple terms or stuff that sounds bizarre) #(i've have to repeatedly tell people that trackie dacks is not a joke. we do say that) #but yeah in general ppl of my generation and younger use a mixture of english and american slang because of media consumption #y'all see me talk in memes all the damn time #and yeah you guys rub off on me #hence why i almost said bathtub instead of bath like i normally would #and sometimes i'll just say a very american thing out loud and i'll pause like ???? #my mum - being english - is quite annoyed by the amount of american words i use #but whatever whether for poms or for american - i'm not changing my fucking accent or manner of speak for anybody #tho i do find myself replacing my aussie terms on here so y'all don't get confused #sometimes when im talking to americans i just say jello instead of jelly to save time #i mention cuz i've done that recently with my new american discord friends #i find myself saying ass a lot nowadays instead of arse #it feels wrong but ??? #yeah... i spend a lot of time around americans. so of course this would happen
