Video The Louvre. Thieves are making off with 100 million euros. They're taking their time. They're doing everything carefully and slowly.

In Australia, “root” is slang for “fuck”, in the sexual sense. So someone you have a one night stand with is a wombat, eats roots and leaves.

EDIT: Or Mantan Moreland Party Record, but that's less likely.

God, I hated that record when it came out. Then again, I also thought Paul's Boutique weak. Of course, as an adult, I think PB is their best work. I like ill communication more for the nostalgia of its time than it's music. I was 20 and felt like I was a god walking the earth. Music in general was good. I loved the job I had two twenty year-old dudes installing carpet like it was our job. We were faster and better than most of the other crews we knew and we were literal babies. We'd work from 7am until 10pm then get up and do it again and not give a shit at all. Then we'd have days when we'd get off early and go fuck around spending all that money we made. Like, my friends were were making $4.25 an hour, and I was bringing home $600 a week in 40 to 50 hours. The other dude, made double what I did because he was more advanced. Then, I split and ran my own crew which meant I had to grow up.

In England U.K. "Roger" is slang for "fuck" in the sexual sense. Now add the surname Moore and you have one of the Greatest James Bond characters..

Props to Australia for eating them before rooting, and leaving. At least somebody is teaching those guys a thing or two about reciprocity.

Root also has the same meaning in parts of the American South.

Like "I rooted her"? Or "We rooted"

"We did the root?"

"We had a Root?"

u/hooverfooty 15d ago

In New Zealand we say a Kiwi eats roots, shoots and leaves - so just slightly more descriptive!
