In Australia, kids wear thongs to the beach.

In the US, kids root for sport.

Swap the country of either statement, and it gets super creepy.

What does "root for sport" mean in Australia!

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It means fuck. As a Canadian, I have no idea what it means in the USA.

Cheering basically. Unless cheering means something other than hoping your team wins.

Oh yes, that's not uncommon, brain fart

Yeah I was confused as well, mostly because it would be rooting for sports, we don't cheer as a sport. Well except for cheerleading and calling that a sport is contentious
