huh I wasn’t far off I would have guessed aussie as a regional option because so much of their slang I hear is just “abbreviations” even if it doesn’t make the word or syllables shorter
I don’t want to hide behind ignorance but ya I’m really not that good at making jokes most of the times but I don’t think I’ve ever made anyone upper with them
That’s cool. This sub\community is very lighthearted. It is also very international. Cool tip: if you happen to catch yourself on a word or phrase that wasn’t inert\commonplace\or a opps-i-didn’t-know-it-was-even-a-thing… I myself just take the hit, put that in my to-do box, and move on. I have plenty other funny bones to contribute.

is “bants” a regional or generational thing?
