“Heaps keen” was a phrase that left American friends very confused.
Heaps confused even.

my bf (mexican) thinks tha aussie use of heaps is extremely funny and says he loves me heaps all the time because he thinks it’s funny (he’s right)

I hear ‘heaps’ much more when I visit South Australia

garystark.bsky.social•115 days ago

Heaps more?

😂

I honestly thought about that as I was typing, but thought it would be too on the nose, since I'm not actually in SA right now.

One time I said something was "heaps far" to some people in the UK. Cue incredulous ridicule.

My year 4 teacher would go frothing at the mouth berserk if any of us used heaps. Now I know that she was wrong about a lot of things. Heaps is a great word

Brian Jordan Alvarez's Aussie weightlifter character does the "lifting heaps of keeelows". It's perfect.

Heaps really is a good word... I didn't realise it wasn't used in a lot of other places

My Australian accent is apparently subtle and when I lived in London there were a few times I got clocked as Aussie because I said heaps and not loads
