A gloriously dramatic Australian internet-slang term for any venomous snake — and Australia has plenty of them.
A gloriously dramatic Australian internet-slang term for any venomous snake — and Australia has plenty of them. The phrase captures exactly the vibe: something noodle-shaped that will absolutely murder you. It became a viral internet sensation around the 2010s as a kenning (a poetic compound description), spreading globally as English speakers discovered Australian wildlife truly does seem intent on killing everything. Equal parts funny and accurate. Often used affectionately by Australians who have resigned themselves to sharing their land with death noodles.
