Suburb nicknames...

No mention of Frankghanistan? Have heard it hundreds of times

Have never heard that one, but heard Coburgistan plenty

 

[Doss]

Glenvale Rd?

Honestly can't remember, it was eight years ago when I went there.

It's the steepest road I've seen in Melbourne. Up until the early 90's it was unsealed.

Have you come across Myoora Drive and Wainwright Ave in Mooroolbark?

They're both sooooo steep you'd be careful walking up or down both.

 

[chargers 09]

Never heard it called that in the 20 years I lived there.

Frankghanistan for Frankston
and
Bosnia for Boronia are two of my faves cause their both wartorn hellholes. Other highlights from melbourne include

Dandenong = Dandehole
Monbulk = Monbogan
Coldstream = C**tstream

I'm now in QLD and some of my favourites are

Nambour = Nambong
Woodridge = Stabridge
Chermside = Germside
Maleny = Mull-any

Frankston has always been Frankgahnistan to me.

Some of the best are shopping centers

Doncaster- Shoppo
Chadstone- Chaddy or The Chad
Highpoint- Knifepoint
Fountain Gate- The Babysitter
Eastlands- Wasteland
Southland- Greecelands

Winthrop - Chinkthrop
Leeming - Lee Ming

We so lacist.

 

[Papa G]

Paralowie - Paralousy.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Winthrop - Chinkthrop
Leeming - Lee Ming

We so lacist.

The Winthrop one is just shit, offensive and shit. Like it doesn't even work. Lee Ming is good, not so harsh and actually plays on the word. Calling Winthrop Chinkthrop sounds like something from a bus tirade video.

Some people pronounce Cockburn as Co-burn. I guess it softens it a bit.

Victoria Park is the home of the Yakuza. Don't be fooled by the pleasantry and quaintness. The whole Albany highway strip is one big drug cartel.

Rockingham is Britain. So is the far northern reaches of the city urban sprawl. It's really a strange phenomena. Them brits love living next to the ocean... Ocean Reef for instance.

Franga, Skankston, Drugmana, Crimebourne, Scumerville, a Cockortwo, Dandebong, Carrum Down Syndrome

Is it not meant to be pronounced Co-burn? Then again, Lalor in Melbourne is usually pronounced Lay-ler despite the fact the man it was named for pronounced his name Law-ler.

Paralowie - Paralousy.

If it's also known for drunks then Paralytic.

Water falls in a Reser-vwah but people live in Reser-vor.
