I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I’m all out of bubblegum.
Luckily, there is a whole section of the store selling gum, so I am going to purchase some more, but right after that, there will be ass kicking…

According to the news story, these two delicate young flowers were shoplifting. You can see that the first elegant female has something stuffed under her hoodie when she confronts the store employee with the fierce attack of “you chicken nugget”. The second one, with the extra allowance of forehead, can also be seen with something in her hoodie when she attempts to grab her friend.
I do enjoy the first employee literally laughing in the skinny confronters face, even with the slight push.

If girl #2 doesn’t have FAS I’ll eat a wombat.

Whatever happened to “retail therapy”?

If this were in the US, I’d be expecting a violent confrontation with armed store security any second there.

Nah. In the US nearly all retailers minimize liability by telling staff to never confront thieves.

well… not “figleaf of neutrality” but rather a bunch of lawyers who can recommend the reporters/writer’s dismissal if their edicts against liability aren’t always adhered to. (this from a descendant of old timey newspaper folks). even the loftiest of media hosts will ritually add “alleged” even if the blood dripping dagger is still in the hand of the video’ed.

What is FAS?

likely it’s a reference to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Which has a rather indistinctive set of facial indicators (i swear half of ‘hollywood’ might be suspected of it “Well, kinda fits the life-style maybe?” hmm)

Sounds more like “you fucken stupid maggot” to me, which isn’t a particularly common insult (and maggots are more associated with drunkenness in Australian slang), but definitely more common that “chicken nugget”.

Maggot and dog are pretty common in Aus prison slang and considered a lot harsher than the c-bomb.
I guess that a judgment statement around the facial features ‘caused’ by the mothers alcoholism is at least a step up from phrenology… science and all that. /s

It sounded like Chicken Nugget to my ear. If you google “fuckin Chicken Nugget” you’ll see the term has some currency too. Although, if someone said that to me I’d just smile because that kind of invective has no meaning to me. I’m just not up with the current pejoratives. Kid does seem to have some kind of behavior disorder tho. I’m curious to know which suburb?
