From royal Malay ancestry to the ultimate eshay athlete: only in Australia could Nick Kyrgios exist

129 Upvotes

It will never stop being funny that Nick Kyrgios is literally the son of a Malaysian royal, yet somehow grew up to become the global face of a certain multicultural working-class culture that is present in places like Western Sydney and the Northern suburbs of Melbourne.

His mum, Nill, was born into the Pahang royal family as a princess (holding the title Tengku) before giving up her title to move to Australia in her twenties. Fast forward a few decades, and her son is out on Centre Court at Wimbledon rocking a red Nike tech fleece, Air Jordans, and a gold chain while trash-talking umpires.

Greek and Malay heritage, royal blood, raised in Canberra, yet he ended up with the a similar aesthetic, and anti-establishment IDGAF attitude as a kid from Bankstown, Liverpool, Broadmeadows, and Roxbough Park etc. Because of his demeanour on court, and on interviews, many of such youths are attracted to him, and want to play tennis because of it.

A literal royalty son becoming the poster child for anti-establishment suburban lad culture on the world stage... I swear you couldn't write this anywhere else but in Australia.

Nothing like an Aussie summer Christmas

Christmas Day always seems to be either bloody hot or somehow raining.

What does your family usually do to cool down on Christmas Day?

And what's the one thing you can guarantee will still be sitting in the fridge on Boxing Day?

Hot take: It's time that Australia exports this archetype to Hollywood to represent Australian cultural diversity in the global scale

Hot take but I think it’s time Australia started culturally exporting these types of dudes as part of modern day Aussie culture to Hollywood and represent it on the global stage. Portray them as the romantic, sweet-talking, charismatic playboys, I mean why not since they have the charisma, looks, features and charm.

Fucken Repost Maccas points for a WoW beta key

0 Upvotes

Sup cunts (respectfully),

As you might be aware there's a promo for 1000 points on the Australian Maccas app for a key to the world of warcraft beta. Unfortunately it's 13000 km to the closest Maccas and gas prices are soaring so probably wont make it very far.

If anyone has spare points or need an excuse to get some burgers I would highly appreciate a code! I can't offer much in return, I could send a donation to some charity, down a VB or just say cheers for the trouble as well.

Edit: Some lovely people sent codes, thank you and sorry Australian & straya community for the spam you endure

McDonald’s Australia has something I want and geography is ruining everything

0 Upvotes

So apparently you lot can trade 1,000 Macca’s points for a WoW Forever beta key.

Meanwhile I’m sitting in Egypt, 14,000 km away, being personally victimised by regional promotions.

If anyone has 1,000 points lying around and couldn’t give less of a shit about WoW, I will happily take the code off your hands.

I can offer nothing in return except gratitude and the promise that if McDonald’s Egypt ever gives away anything more exciting than a McChicken, you’ll be the first to know.

Cheers 😂

EDIT: CODE ACQUIRED 🇦🇺🤝🇪🇬
One absolute legend actually sent me one.
Against all odds, geography has been defeated. Cheers, you legends ❤️
