Aussie’s Slang Misfire: Office Drama Unfolds

Gary, the 27-year-old Australian, found himself in a pickle when his casual use of an endearing slang term backfired in America. After an awkward silence at after-work drinks, Gary was removed from the group chat and told not to join them on Fridays anymore. He apologized and explained the cultural difference, but while one coworker seemed to understand, he still hasn’t been added back to the group. Meanwhile, another coworker thinks the offended party overreacted and welcomes Gary to still join them. ‍♀️ Let’s see what the internet thinks of this cultural clash…
