A local Queenslander has recently revealed that he thinks he’s top shit by using the correct pronunciation for his home State.
Blaine Thompson (26) was visiting friends in the Betoota Ponds area when it became clear that he probably likes watching movies in other languages and visits art galleries out of recreation.
In what was supposed to be a tongue in cheek comment, Thompson remarked “how good’s Queensssland ay?”.
Smelling blood in the water, his friends immediately started screaming “QUEENLANDER!!” in his face like they were walking through the tunnels of Suncorp Stadium.
“Nah the big city fuckin’ changed him I reckon” says a close friend, who only wished to by identified as ‘2 Dicks’
“Like, who does he think he is? We’re all from the same area, we all talk the same. All of the sudden (sic) old mate gets a real estate job on the Gold Coast, and he comes back here talking like he’s Prince Charles or whatever.”
“It’s bullshit. I swear, if we don’t sort this out real quick, he’s gonna come back here with a plate of scones and be walking around asking for skim milk. I cant have that here”“It scares me. quite frankly”
Although the group still appeared to be having a good time, an obvious tension remained in the air.
“Im not saying he can’t keep hanging out with us, that’s fine, but at least pronounce the name of the state right. Fucks sake”
When asked why he was known as ‘2 Dicks’, the man simply responded.
“Can’t get this silly playing with one”
