As a joke I built an extension to the GitHub CLI called “omens” so you can run “gh omens” before you’re planning to use GitHub and it’ll tell you if it’s likely to work in idiomatic Aussie.
As an example:
$> gh omens
reckon github's about to go full bin chicken

- VladVladikoff 22d ago>go full bin chicken LOL is this really something Aussie's say? That’s hilarious!
- denkmoon 22d agoBin chicken is local slang for these horrible birds ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis ), and “go full x” is also a common utterance, but I’ve never heard them said together like that.
- FridgeSeal 22d agoIbis’ are fantastic creatures, and don’t deserve the scorn you’ve heaped upon them! Their bin-chicken status is testament to their adaptability, but it’s essentially our fault they’re that way.
- SugarReflex 22d agoThey really are bin chickens for a reason. I remember in Lakemba in Sydney watching a young child trying to shoo an ibis from a bin where it was having its lunch. For a very long time I believed that they had migrated from Egypt because of their long beak - I think I asked my Mum once and she in tiredness just affirmed it.
