note for y'all: I'm gonna be completely absent from here for like, the next two months or so because of exams + school trip + more exams so don't fire me from RO plz

Ginger

into the sun with you

Redz

that's about accurate actually considering where I'm going

Ginger

~~I thought you were already Australian~~

Redz

yeah I am but I'm going up top of Australia where it's like really freaking hot

Ginger

"up top" is an interesting phrase to hear as a (usamerican) southerner

Redz

02:50

well what else should I say?? northern area??

Ginger

admittedly I am a very northern southerner, but we talk about going "up north", not "up top"

@Redz you're not doing anything wrong :p

it's just the dialect difference that's interesting to me

lyxal

@Redz That's Americans for you. You say something completely normal and they get their knickers in a knot

Unrelated String

@Ginger Sounds like something that would refer to an elevated mountainous area, and only in a really joking way

Ginger

yeah

lyxal

Well I promise we ain't having a lend of y'all when we say up top

Ginger

02:56

it's pretty funny to me that I occasionally hear my location referred to as "down south" even though you can go a lot farther south from where I am :p

lyxal

@Redz now is this Darwin kind of up top, or Queensland?
