Non-responsive

This is How It’s Done.

The simplest question – what are your thoughts on the minimum wage? – and he doesn’t remotely answer it, he says he’ll say stuff about it in two weeks and then he repeats his usual string of beads. Positive statement – putting people to work – record numbers – greatest economy histry of our country – China virus – bans on China – lotta things right – great job. He’s the kid who didn’t do the homework, not once in awhile, but always.

    An ignoramus, a dickhead and a galah. What more can be said?

    An ignoramus, a dickhead and a galah walked into a bar.

    The bartender said “Get out, Trump.”

    galah? My search tells me that is a cockatoo? And an attractive one? Could you be referring to something else, since that doesn’t appear to apply to Trump.

    I think it’s Aussie slang?

    As someone who definitely didn’t watch Neighbours when he was a student, I can confirm that “galah” is Australian for both the bird and a foolish, annoying person.

    Galahs are pretty pink-and-grey cockatoos. They are also extremely stupid. In Adelaide I have seen galahs wander into the road and proceed to hold up the traffic in both directions, refusing to move. I’ve seen galahs wander onto a footie pitch in the middle of a match and not get out of the way even when one got killed by the ball. I’ve been held up delivering the mail by flocks of galahs; one flock in particular seemed to decide that hearing my motorbike coming was the cue for them to spread out across the road and footpath to stop me entering an estate to deliver mail. Shouting and honking the horn had no effect. The only thing in their favour is that they’re not aggressively stupid, just stupid. Hence being the nickname for stupid people.

    Thanks. Would it have been too much for Google to have told me that? All I got was the bird.

    Guess it’s sort of how we use dodo here.

    Perhaps they are not stupid at all, but take great enjoyment in infuriating members of the species Homo sapiens!
