| As a joke I built an extension to the GitHub CLI called “omens” so you can run “gh omens” before you’re planning to use GitHub and it’ll tell you if it’s likely to work in idiomatic Aussie. As an example: $> gh omens reckon github's about to go full bin chicken —- You can find it here:

| >go full bin chicken LOL is this really something Aussie's say? That’s hilarious! |

| ▲ | denkmoon 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Bin chicken is local slang for these horrible birds ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_white_ibis ), and “go full x” is also a common utterance, but I’ve never heard them said together like that. | | |
| ▲ | FridgeSeal 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ibis’ are fantastic creatures, and don’t deserve the scorn you’ve heaped upon them! Their bin-chicken status is testament to their adaptability, but it’s essentially our fault they’re that way. | | |
| ▲ | SugarReflex 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | They really are bin chickens for a reason. I remember in Lakemba in Sydney watching a young child trying to shoo an ibis from a bin where it was having its lunch.
For a very long time I believed that they had migrated from Egypt because of their long beak - I think I asked my Mum once and she in tiredness just affirmed it. |
