[The Grim Reaper]

I see. I was curious. So you would say it depends on the area whether that word is going to be used more often than not?

Not so much the area - more cultural heritage. I brought up the area because, since we're inland, we don't have the wonderful fresh seafood people closer to the city do, and so my friends just don't eat seafood as much.

So we're more susceptible to foreign influences, because we don't have a particularly strong stance on what to call the small shrimp.

Doing a quick Google, it does seem that here in Australia, we don't really get exposed to the small animals you might be thinking of. I've heard of brine shrimp, but I don't know in what context or which country. TBH, I didn't realise you could eat the small ones.

So I think it might be safe to assume that the Australian differentiation between large prawns and small shrimp is one that I'm not exposed to much, but which I can believe.

Here we gauge them according to how many per pound. 21-30 is small.

Ok, I don't know what the fuck I'm on about

Our shrimp are somewhat bigger than yours, but I was thinking of absolutely tiny things.

It's 6 am, so I'm probably not being very clear

Ok, I get it. I was just wondering if you'd call these prawns or just shrimp. I thought prawns was used to refer to all shrimp, indistinct of size but since I always saw the word used to refer to the big ones, I got confused.

I kinda guessed that when brine shrimp were mentioned.

those are shrimp.

Oh wow, yes, I was thinking of tiny baby shrimp

No, I would call those prawns personally, but I can see my friends perhaps calling them shrimp. Maybe.

To be honest, I doubt that they would - we'd probably agree on the use of the word prawn for them.

Personally, I call them all shrimp. Even the very large ones.

It was probably me. I was jut confused because I thought at first that prawns meant shrimp, indistinct of size and then saw the term used to refer to big shrimp almost exclsuively (every time I saw the word used), which is why I asked Grim.

Got it. Thanks for the clarification. I was under the misguided impression that prawns was used to refer too all kinds of shrimp in Australia. Idioms and me, we don't mesh well.

Yo es Tejanos. Yes I do.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Yo es Tejanos. Yes I do.

What I meant was in calling them prawns or shrimp. That's an Aussie idiom.

[Big Jim P]

Yo es Tejanos. Yes I do.

What I meant was in calling them prawns or shrimp. That's an Aussie idiom.

I understand.

Well, It is naptime. See you all later.

I'm confused but would posting a take on something the mods said about a report be construed as spamming?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Now I want paella

I have an easy recipe. You're welcome to it if you want to try to make one yourself or with your wife.

[The Grim Reaper]

Well, that commenting is done with. Ish.

Submitted it, at least. If I get up early enough I'll 'remember' to add examples >.>. It looks suspiciously like we got an extension I didn't hear about.

G'night all!

It's a report thread but I'm not involved with it. I didn't post but I almost felt like it.
