Gold Coast Local Customs: 21 reviews and 22 photos
Queenslanders in general have a very odd habit in speech. Rather than place the word but at the beginning of a sentence, they put it at the end which often makes people think they still have something to say. For example:
"Shall we go swimming today?"
"It's raining but."
This leads the uninformed to think that the speaker is still going to say something like:
"It's raining but we are going to get wet anyway," when really they are saying "But it's raining."
Apparently this drives most people crazy, especially Victorians. That's their own fault for liking AFL but. ;-)
