  10. hamjudo says:

    When I lived in the dorm in college, a matched pair of socks appeared in my laundry. It was a pair of blue socks. I did not own any blue socks before the sock space-time wormhole reversed, if only briefly. This happened only once. I checked, the world did not end. I do not know the meaning of this fearful omen.

    • psychz says:

      haha XD wow, I think that was the 1st Dire Herald of the Apocalypse (maybe the horses idea got shelved due to fear of PETA)

    • killersmerf says:

      Ah dont you know about the Pratchet theory for the creation of the universe?
      Its called “constant creation” were matter sneakes into the universe little bits at a time ‘ like lint and socks and coat hangers.

  11. New Zealander says:

    Being from New Zealand I thought the Austalian one was in the same context as the other ones, not the whole G’Day mate thing.

    What does an Australian use for Protection during sex?
    A Bus Shelter

    Why was Jesus born in the Middle East and not Australia?
    Because God would have enough trouble finding 3 Wise men, let alone a Virgin…

    *hangs head in silent mirth*

    • midian454 says:

      go pull on a wooly

    • PeteY says:

      It doesn’t matter if your a Kiwi bro or an Aussie mate. To everyone else in the world you’re just an Aussie

      • James says:

        Bahhaha, nice. Love the kiwi’s, but I’ve never got such a dirty look as when we asked the B&B guy what was good to see in town and he directed us to the giant kiwi fruit, to which I replied “I thought kiwi fruit was Australian?” (As a joke of course), he didn’t get it. hehehe.

    • in_a_box says:

      Ah, the Kiwis. They are just our poor cousins of the East.

    • killersmerf says:

      LOL
      Oh and dont read on if easy offended

      How do you get a New Zealand lass pregnant?

      (now this is your second warning dont read if your a soft)

      Cum in her shoe and let the flys do the rest!

      (told ya)

    • Annaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa says:

      Very, very lolworthy. I shall have to remember these.

  12. p0rkch0psandwhiches says:

    is this a jizz in your socks joke or a “i just did my laundry and I dont have a match for this one sock” joke?

  13. Gen says:

    I’m Australian myself, and I lol’ed xD my father calls EVERYONE ‘mate’……..

  14. hein says:

    me liky

  15. tibeQ says:

    lol

    that was clever

  16. that guy says:

    no one noticed that last bit that says docks?

  17. marxz says:

    maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!

    {waits for another ozzie to answer the maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaating call}

  18. Kittah Noir says:

    I work with a guy who even calls his wife mate. I hear him on the phone and presume he’s talking to a friend – but, no.

  19. lol says:

    Nice spelling mate!

  20. paul says:

    what are docks? i don’t get the docks part. and i thought the australian bit was a comment on australian promiscuity (for what it is, i don’t know…) I am confused…

  21. crazykitteh says:

    I can’t get over the fact that there are people that think insects aren’t animals. I understand separating the humans, because humans are arrogant enough to think we actually belong to a different kingdom, but insects? Come on. How stupid do you have to be?

    • Daemon says:

      It’s not as though the guy is going to write The Animal Kingdom and then socks, it would be a pretty pointless graph that wouldn’t make it anywhere near the front page. the guy split up the animal kingdom into a few subsections to make the graph more interesting. And according to your ‘logic’ Australians aren’t human, mr prejudice

      • Shadowbane509 says:

        Some native Austrailians are not, but they aren’t exactly human. Some don’t even look like they came from Earth!

  22. Craig says:

    Working class people say ‘mate’ a lot in Britain, do they?
    Well, the vast proportion of Australians say ‘mate’ whether they’re working class, or business class, or upper class, and to lower classes, or to upper classes….that’s kind of the point, it cuts across class. Everyone can be called ‘mate’ from your dad to your boss to your girlfriend to the Prime Minister to the stranger you pass in the street.
    I believe the guy who says he’s Australian and never says it, but the point is, he can. To anyone. And it would never seem out of place.

    Come on Aussie, come on!

  23. Fuzzy! says:

    So much nitpicking! Lighten up, this is the first chart that made me LQTM for the longest time!

  24. ANITA from MELBOURNE, AUST says:

    im from australia.
    youre all stupid.
    most americans cant find america a map of the world.
    that proves something.
    LEARN TO SPELL AUSTRALIAN.
    :L

  25. that guy says:

    SERIUOSLY, why has no one said anything about the Docks part on the end?

  26. John says:

    The only people who say “mate” more than working-class British people are middle-class British people trying to get ‘matey’ with the working-class British person re-tiling their bathroom…

  27. that guy says:

    Its right after Australian’s, im only the secodn person to mention it throught out all the comments

  28. that guy says:

    No i genuinely want to know that word is after Australian, it looks liek it says docks, or gocks. and neither make sense

  29. jonah says:

    Puck U Miss!

    “that guy”, ur either drunk or blind because it says socks….either way pirates should be up there with the outbacks

  30. that guy says:

    Well i am half blind, but theres no way it says socks, and why hsant anyone narked on that? psh

  31. that guy says:

    Psh, I’m not the only one thats said it, and yes, i will do just that.

  32. Bazm from the outback says:

    G’day mates, the average Aussie has many mates, therefore Australians rule the chart, get it mate? Also many Australians will mate with anything that moves making it more likely to physically mate. We also eat things that we mate with sometimes *burp*

  33. peter says:

    stupid just stupid

  34. Mark Hinojosa says:

    If navy guys are mates and australian guys are mates…

    What do you call australians that are in the navy?

    Double mates?

  35. esthertrojan says:

    FUNNY, FUNny

  36. Matt says:

    If you’re Australian and male, you’ve almost got to use the word ‘mate’ to survive, otherwise you won’t connect with most Ausssie guys. I wouldn’t say ‘mate’ to my close mates [haha] , I’d use names or nicknames, but if you talk to a bloke on the street you didn’t know, in a shop or in the pub you’d say “Excuse me mate, or hey mate, etc.” or something like that. It’s like saying neither of us are better than the other, like a brotherhood type of thing. You wouldnt use it in a job interview though! Rarely hear women use it, it’s more of a class determinant if they use it, like they’d be likely to be more working class if they’re calling you ‘mate’. I guess it’s a pretty good greeting, makes a stranger feel welcome, buts that what I noticed when in Europe, Aussies are more welcoming and trusting of strangers, but family ties are bigger there than here in Aus.

  37. Keegs says:

    So true mate. Look, I did it then mate!

  38. Snuffalupagas says:

    Bloody Oath mate.
    And it’s not just men that say mate, it’s the women too.
    Living in Canada now, people look at me weird when I say “How ya goin’ mate?” and then realise the accent……

  39. walrus overload says:

    lol we dont actually find “mates” (unless your talking about sex) we just call everybody mate (but not with that county accent[unless you live in the country regions] but we still have awsome accents)

  40. milly says:

    umm…it because Aussies have the slag MATE as in friend

  41. mik says:

    I love saying Mate. :D You make heaps of friends everywhere you go and you get accepted into groups much quicker. It’s almost like a password. Haha, the only thing that makes me shudder is foreign impressions of Australians. “Giday Moite!”. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes when The Simpsons came to Oz. “Naw, it’s just a little kick up the bum.” Oh btw, this Australia Day I’ll be at the cricket.. you’ll see me. I’ll be the drunken flag. :D

  42. Auzzie says:

    Us Auzzies are pretty damn cool.
    In Australia slang isn’t really slang because its just so common evrywhere. Young and old, rich and poor, battlers and cityfolk, important and unimportant (but please no one ever say ‘fair shake of the sauce bottle’ ever!). I love slang and evrything about, LONG LIVE SMUSHING WORDS TOGETHER TO AVOID FLYS IN YA MOUTH!

  43. wguergjkisfdjgkr says:

    aw, now i’m sad because all the socks are alone! D:
