Aboriginal

Refers to being 'native' to an area. Can relate to any native population in the world. Commonly used in Canada and Australia. Is mostly connected to the First Australian Nations.

The Aboriginal people of Australia - some proper terms for Aboriginal people include :- Koori (NSW & VIC), Murri (QLD), Palawa (TAS), Nunga (SA), Nyoongar (South WA) Archaelogical evidence shows existence of Aboriginal people here up to 60,000 years ago and the time keeps extending. This is older than anything previously found in Europe, Asia and the whole world.

Aboriginal people are survivors. The whites took the land, shot and killed our people, raped our women, took our children and now want to wrap our culture in bubble wrap and sell it to Japanese tourists. We are the oldest continuing culture on earth.

Aboriginal people are proud of who they are. We have a lot to offer Australia. We know things about this land that whites haven't even dreamed about, and care for country better than anyone.

"what is your background"
"I am Aboriginal"
"Why don't you go poo in the bush"
"Yeah? Gladly. But you white fellas won't let me"

Cunt

Refers to a woman's genitalia. However seldomly refers to a woman. If referred to a woman, considered highly offensive. In the US 'cunt' is seen as an extremely offensive word. However in Australia, 'cunt' is a common term used by males to refer to their other male friends. Seldomly used on women. Can be used to denote an idiot or someone you despise. Usually this person has done something significant to be called a 'cunt'. Older generation of Australians who prefer using the word 'mate' detest this word, however the younger generation are using this word more frequently.

"Oi Cunt! How are ya?" (Aussie young Bloke 1)
"Good mate!" (Aussie young bloke 2)

"Who's the cunt who stole my fuckin' carpark!"

Emo

A subculture common to kids born post 1987 who want to identify as a 'punk' but have little knowledge of the origins of the word 'punk'. More than likely they grew up listening to other soft music like the Backstreet Boys and Christina Aguilera, but realised when they reached high school that this was no longer cool. So they start listening to bands like My Chemical Romance and Panic at the Disco or Jared Leto's band because they feel morose and suicidal and that their lives are not worth living. They then start dying their hair black and wearing 1990's punk clothing (skate shoes, heavy chain belts etc) usually consisting of black, red or white. They see themselves as being 'goths' because boys apply eye makeup reminiscent of Robert Smith from the Cure, but highly unlikely whether they actually know who this is. They believe they are being 'alternative' and 'edgy' however they are overwhelmingly conformist as they all look the same, dress the same and listen to extremely soft core, pansy, fluffy pop music disguised as 'punk'.

"My son is trying to look like Jared Leto, wearing makeup and listening to Fall Out Boy all the time, I think he's become an emo!"
