Never Say “ Put Another Shrimp On The Barbie”

Source: https://i0.wp.com

This phrase was popularized by the 1980s Crocodile Dundee film, and used as a slogan to entice Americans to visit Australia. It stuck, though many Australians don’t appreciate lots of visitors always mentioning it thinking they sound like Aussies. In Australia, shrimps are called prawns, nobody local uses the word shrimp. Saying the cliche will surely not be appreciated, and won’t win you any friends down under. In the first place, why would you want to try sounding like an Australian? Be yourself, try not to look ridiculous. You will be accepted for who you are, and not whom you want to be.So bear that in mind, and enjoy your visit.
