The perth thread

General Pub

Time to look up at stars and get deep. A place for discussions that are a little out of the ordinary and trying to solve those hard to answer questions that there really aren’t any answers for.

An example last night that I asked Rolly. If I am from Canberra - I am Canberran. From Sydney - A Sydney sider. From Melbourne - a Melbournian. But why on earth are people from Perth called Sand gropers? It makes no sense, it doesn’t obviously say that they are from Perth.

Also, this one may be a bit hard to answer, but I just asked a work colleague after watching a movie about racist people that clearly points out that people are racist to each other based on appearance which led me to think - Can blind people be racist?

Dunno, but how do blind people know when to stop wiping?

3

I’d say a blind person would be more ‘accentist’… As all they could go on would be the accent of someone???

Surely Sandgroper is slang though? Like ‘crow eaters’ etc

6

Correct.

A la Bananabender.

I’m guessing the correct term for a Perthian is Perthite.

Sandgroper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

this refers to ppl from WA actually.

I also jokingly suggested ‘Perthonality’.

fuck knows what version Perth ppl are meant to get.

For some reason they drop the ‘o’.
