I did get a customer complaint one time as well from a pregnant Karen who was deeply offended by coming in to rent a film and hearing Big Balls being blasted all around the shop. "No ma'am, it's about ballrooms and ballroom dancing!" She wasn't having any of it.

Seeing as she was up the duff You should have sang back to her "You had big balls, emptied big balls..."

Australian humour is either razor sharp black comedy or toe curlingly retarded, there is no in-between and there's far more of the latter than the former

What examples of the razor sharp black comedy are there? 

I was basing that off my interactions with Aussies back when I lived there!

"All the feels".

I could easily just say all modern internet cliches, but I choose to name them, one by one.

The term "sick" fucks me right off when used in any other way than to indicate being unwell


an an example
"man they're sick" = some boy racer has new alloys

etc etc

Incorrect use of POV all over social media lately drives me up the wall, along with 'not' such and such as the caption to a picture which is most definitely such and, indeed, such.

"Turning the sod" photo ops. Turning the sod is meant to indicate starting out with the first excavations on a greenfield site. Instead we get-

1. Fecking Enda Kenny trying it on for a vote stunt for something that still hasn't started 10 years later https://www.echolive.ie/corknews/arid-41794022.html

2. Bringing grass specially to a brownfield site, as there is no actual greenery or soil on site - see the above nonsense. And below also...

3. Again laying grass specially for a photo op, but 10 months after works actually started on site.

Then bullshitting about infrastructure bottlenecks being cleared for the development, when they made a mess of it and traffic is worse than ever. But yeah add 1,500 houses to the equation, that will surely work out...
