As an Australian, I had no idea we even did this. I saw a reddit post asking why do Australians add a hard "r" at the end of some words, and I was like I have never heard that in my life. Turns out I had been hearing it all my life and never realised it!
Aussis tend to talk like a sentence is one long word. The intrusive R is added to stop the sentence from feeling disjointed when pronouncing it. The R helps to fill the gap in some places where this would happen. This isn’t done intentionally, its just organically happened. I find we try to say things in the fastest and easiest way possible, when the sentence is pronounced with each word clearly annunciated, it takes much longer and is more difficult to say. I think this is why we are so fond of shortening and abbreviating words too! It’s why we invented the word “selfie”, was much faster than saying “picture of myself/yourself”! 😂 We’re probably (probs) just too lazy/laidback to take the longer but correct route. Just make our own shortcuts. Ha! 😅
Thank you for making this short tutorial. I've met so many Australians that didn't believe me when I pointed out the "r" sound at the end of words that don't end with r. Now I have proof that I'm not hearing things that aren't there.
Reminds me of a British skit show I've seen, where the characters are Dot Cotton and Kat Slater from Eastenders. Kat always puts r's where there aren't supposed to be any, and Dot keeps pointing it out. The skit is hilarious!
As Canadian living in Australia I'm convinced Aussie's have been confused by their own accent. Two examples of common mistakes I see all the time are people spelling words incorrectly because of how they pronounce it in their accent: The word sought has been spelled as sort, as in this is a 'sort after' location instead of 'sought after' The other is with the word drawer, it gets confused with the word draw. As in "put the tool back in the drawer" I've seen it written many times as 'draw'
(I recently stumbled on this old video, and I just gotta say... a lot!) - For context: Canadian English is my first language, originally from Saskatchewan (one of the Prairie Provinces). And with that context established... - Intrusive _R_ isn't exclusive to Australia, being common in much of England and parts of the U.S., but to me, "The cat's claw is broken", “He saw it all happen” and “NASA organized..”, etc., all sound completely normal, natural, and smooth-flowing. - In my part of North America, and probably many other places, we wouldn't say "the ends-in-a-vowel-sound IS ", but we'd elide the _i_ instead of adding an _R_. Thus, we'd say “Australia's huge”, “That quakka's so cute”, or "The tuna's mine" (not “The tuna is mine”). - I'm sure you overstated your "rule" about inserting R between two vowel sound words, and there are a number of exceptions that should've been mentioned. For instance, you used "I'm going to thaw-R out the frozen fish", but I'm fairly sure it would be awkward and wrong to say "I'm going to throw-eR out the frozen fish". ["throw", like "thaw", ends in vowel sound. It's just that it's an "oh" sound with an already adjacent "R", instead of an isolated "ah" sound]. As another example, I don't believe I've ever heard anyone say "early Ron" for "early on". (See this sentence from Hugh Jackman @5:31 in your "3 accents" video: th-cam.com/video/ZnioDeQNlxQ/w-d-xo.html ) - You didn't cover the intrusive R in other contexts. For example, I just heard an Aussie on another channel say "it gets cawRt on something" for "it gets caught". - A bit off-topic, but it would've been nice if you had mentioned, at least in passing, your "dropped R"s, like when you said (@1:00) "... we insert the intrusive R to link the words togethAH" (also heard very often in your "bred an buddah" [Bread and Butter] episode: th-cam.com/video/p_M7uVlFx8g/w-d-xo.html ). - Speaking of which... "The Yakuza are Japanese" is a very bad example, because you actually pronounced the disconnected phrase as - listen carefully - "the Yakuza AH Japanese" Adding the "extra" R sound just brings it back to the standard pronunciation of "The Yakuza R Japanese". (Note that you definitely did _not_ say "the Yakuza-R are Japanese", or even "the Yakuz-eR ah Japanese". You definitely said "The Yakuza-ar Japanese"). - And finally ... No matter what expertise you might have, I cannot take any language advice from someone who writes "This picture? I *draw* it.". The past tense for the act of drawing is DREW! _DREW!_ *DREW!* So for your example, in response to the question “Who drew that?”, one answer might be "This picture? I *drew* it" (or presumably, given your rule and the “oo” sound at the end of drew - "This picture? I DREW-eR it"). But not - never - no way, no how - "I _draw_ it".
@@premanadi I don't know about where you're from, but in my [Central Canadian] version of English "throw" and "throe" are homophones. They both end in the same sound as "fro" from "to and fro", so I don't hear any "linking W sound", or any W sound at all... Also, despite searching the channel videos I couldn't find whatever video you're referring to about linking sounds, so I have nothing to refer to. If you've got a link, or even a date it was posted, that would be useful.
@@RottnRobbie I'm from the USA. Both throw and throe, at least to my ear, end in a diphthong. Not a pure "O" as you might have in French, but the O glides into another sound with the lips slightly rounding at the end. I would call that "W." If you say "throw it to me," there is a linking W. You could write it "thro wit to me" and speak it rapidly, and it sounds the same. It's not quite the level of "effort" to create an actual W, but the lip-rounding is in the same direction. Sort of a half-W. I found his video on linking vowels, including w: th-cam.com/video/UL906C3Ceu8/w-d-xo.html There are many others on youtube, such as: th-cam.com/video/qZ9AjPiU968/w-d-xo.html

@@areebafatima2153 I think a native don't think about inserting the R in the middle. They just speak fast and connects two words almost together. To do this they they just automatically make the r sound. Its a natural thing for natural Aussie.

Although I understood the video, and I really like to improve my pronunciation. I will not introduce this to my way of speaking. I have seen Australians that use this sound, and others that don't use this sound. IMHO, this doesn't contribute to communication, or to a better English. Nevertheless, thank you very much for your videos. It helps a lot. Keep the good work mate.
Australian English is definitely not the standard that you want to use they also drop Rs when they shouldn't like at the end of every word with an R they drop it like instead of saying remember they say rememba! the best thing is to stick with a standard American accent that is to say an accent that you would usually hear through Hollywood or through the news
@@MrPickledede Hmm. The RP British English is also another standard accent worldwide and the ending r is also dropped in this accent. So it is not wrong to drop the r's at the end of words and replace it for a schwa sound instead. In the end, the best thing is for a learner to pick one accent they like or feel more comfortable with. They will still be able to communicate well regardless of accents.
@@LG-tt2qz I live and work overseas and I can tell you that the vast majority of English learners especially those who do so for their profession and business say they have a lot of trouble understanding British English speakers as the vast majority of them quite naturally are learning American English which for various reasons is by far the most used in the world be it in business, political and other international forums. American accented English is by far the most popular form used throughout the world and therefore it makes no sense for and English learner from China or Italy to learn British English. Learning a new language is difficult as it is and inasmuch as it can be difficult for those of us native speakers to understand someone who sole exposure to English is through American accented pop culture would have enormous difficulty to understand British English. I am not saying which is better, but I am saying that it is more efficient and beneficial for someone to learn standard American English in the first place for most purposes rather than what is considered to be the standard English accent (i.e. the King's English)
@@MrPickledede Fair enough. My point is if someone does learn and pick up the accent well either standard american or british or even standard australian, there should be no issues to communicate well as there are hardly any issues for native speakers of these accents to understand each other. Unless the accent is so thick like certain Aussie and UK accents, but if anything they learn new words to name things and the particulars of the accent which is always fun. So learners should stick to the accent of their choosing, but getting familiar with the others would not hurt them, quite the opposite.
@@MrPickledede Although in Europe they grow up learning British English so Italy isn't the best example. You might be right about the rest of the world though.
This made me realize that they do this in the Northeastern (more specifically, Rhode Island) part of the US! I'd been wondering why I'd hear them pronounce "saw" with an R sound at the end.
The r annoys me when I hear some Australians speak. I mean, instead of the word 'home', it sounds like 'horme'. Like the r is in the middle of a word. Instead of 'done', it sounds like 'dern'. I don't know, it's weird.
So my first language isn't English and I live in Cali and I just mix some American with some Aussie English bc idk how to pronounce some words in like American English and I'm so confused idk which one to use anymore lmao. Personally I think Aussie is easier
I really doubt it. Not a single American I know says "drawing" with an "r" in the middle of the word. Whereas every Aussie I know says "draw-r-ing". Also, based on my experience, an Aussie would always say "law rand order" even in very slow speech.
As an American English speaker and amateur linguist I can say for certain that we don’t use it at all. Aussie is on the right track, though. Most Americans prefer gliding between vowels (thus the “y” sound he suggested) or inserting a glottal stop between them (the same sound you get when you say “uh-oh” or when you end a word ending in -nt). Hearing “zebrar eats” sound extremely non-native to me. But good question!
Holy shit I've wondered what this was! I watch some youtubers that are Australian, but I've noticed that their accent does this and I didn't know how to describe it! To me, some of them sounded like they inserted a combination of an "R" and an "L" at the end of some words, almost like the Japanese "R" sound (which is neither an R or an L) Does anybody know why the Australian accent is like this though? I would love to learn the linguistic history of why this is!
I was quite confused when my lecturer or tutor said 'draw-r-ing'. I thought they said 'drawer' and turn it into verb the I looked at it in dictionary but nothing found
"Pop" is used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. It basically stand in for any quick movement. "I'm just going down to the shops for a moment"= "I'm just popping down to the shops." "Get up on the table, please" = "Just pop up on the table, please." "I just came in to say hi" = "I just popped in to say hi"
Yep, & sometimes We drop the r at the end of a word that ends with or or er & replace it with an a & words that have the letter t or tt in the middle are also replaced with a d or dd & sometimes We tend to drop the h at the beginning of words & the g at the end of words that end with ing, here's are a couple of examples, "The Prisoner is waiting to meet his Accuser, :- Thee Prisna is waitin to meet his Accusa" "I seem to have lost the cursor on My computer :- I seem to ave lost the cursa on My compudea" "How are You going? Just wait here for a Me, I'm just locking up, :- Ow Ya goin? Just wait ere for Me, I'm just lockin up" "Why are You hanging around this Hotel, I'm not hanging around, it's nearly opening time, :- Wire Ya angin round this otel? I'm not angin round, it's nilly openin time".
Hi there, I'm very thankful with all your amazing work, it helps me a lot as a non-native speaker, but I'm just curious about this intrusive R, is it something that only happens in the Australian English?, or it also happens in the British one for example?, and what about the American version, cheers man, have a good day.
It's common in Britain these days as well (more than in the past), but not nearly as much in the US. Americans tend to use a glottal stop, or sort of run vowels together. Though there are regional exceptions.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I think Australian accent is harder to learn compared with American and even British. And Australian academics should promote a more standard way of speaking.
That's killa really but if u don't mind please I don't know really if someone telling u how r u example its so hard if I don't heard it voice how can I say hey u told me how am I yea like that please explain for us
Thé stupid people here arguing about how the Australian accent should be 😂 I'm Australian, and recently started teaching English to French speakers. The intrusive R/Y/W is also applicable to other English accents. I never noticed that we did it until I had to teach it! Thanks so much for your videos 😊
Biggest difference between uk accents and aussie. Uk (and some american) often leave out the r that is supposed to be there. Aussies add rs that arent lol
1. it does't improve the flow. 2. it doesn't sound weird not to use the r. 3. you aussies don't just put the R between words. You usually add one to the word No by itself or the word So by itself (along with hundreds of others, I've even heard an R added to interjections like "awww(r)")
@@premanadi Huh? He's literally teaching an incorrect way to speak (grammar.) He's siting a colloquial/vernacular form of speech which SOME Aussies use, but it's not considered the correct way, as this man suggests.
@@blue3381 Grammar is not the "way to speak." Look up the definition online. This is guy teaching an accent. Accents are not correct or incorrect. Virtually everyone, in every language, dialect and accent, speaks in ways that you could call "incorrect." There are levels of formality in speech. In English, you can pronounce each word clearly and distinctly, enunciating every consonant "correctly." But hardly anyone does that in everyday life; we run words together all the time, especially when speaking rapidly. Otherwise you sound pretentious, like a university professor giving a lecture. In French, there are elisions that happen where words are connected together; there are unwritten sounds that are inserted to connect certain words; there are written syllables that are dropped; many things change depending on how formal or casual the speech is and what your social relationship is with the person you are speaking to. If this guy is suggesting this is the ONLY "correct" way to speak, then he is also wrong. But it is a standard way to speak in Australia (and the UK and New Zealand, I might add, as well as some parts of the USA). It's not "wrong." You probably think your own way of speaking is "correct," but I guarantee you there is some other native English speaker somewhere who would hear you and be horrified by it, because it's different from their own. Which is correct, rhotic English (such as the US and Canadian accents) or non-rhotic (such as much of the UK, Australia and New Zealand)? Are the British "wrong" because they drop their Rs? Who decides?
@@premanadi it's called an "intrusive r" and is a colloquial way of regional speech - not an accent. Where I live people most people say, 'hayadoin" (how you doing) - it's not an accent, it's a colloquial expression, and to actually teach it is as good grammar would be incorrect.
Aussie English Thanks for the reply! I’m from California and have been living in Australia for about 5 years. My partner is Aussie and your vlog about the silos with the murals near Geelong caught his eye since he drives by that often. We then watched quite a few of your videos and had a bit of a laugh because I used to, how would you put it, make him aware of his accent 😜 Great content 👍
Lol, The intrusive r of is not done to make things flow better. It's just an accent. Believe me American English flows just fine with people not adding the letter r at the end of words
"It's sounds weird to say 'the tuna is mine' or 'I saw it yesterday'." Ummm no it doesn't. It actually sounds weirder to put a fucking "r" in a word where it doesn't need to be.
This is too insane... He would even write like that.. Draw would be drawr... Sawr... thawr.....I feel like my heritage IS ALLL A LIIIIIIEEEEEE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭...... 😂😂😂😂😂

@@AndreiFantastic You are very correct. But it's because when we think of "r" we think of the Americans "r" which is totally not what we do.
It's hilarious because they take any chance to not pronounce the "r" in a word but randomly insert it unnecessarily between sentences.
Its gotta go somewhere 🤣 at least they dont just straight up abandon the poor letter r like some uk accents haha (and some american ones)

Same here in England lol, we have the intrusive R

@@MrPickledede Fair enough. My point is if someone does learn and pick up the accent well either standard american or british or even standard australian, there should be no issues to communicate well as there are hardly any issues for native speakers of these accents to understand each other. Unless the accent is so thick like certain Aussie and UK accents, but if anything they learn new words to name things and the particulars of the accent which is always fun. So learners should stick to the accent of their choosing, but getting familiar with the others would not hurt them, quite the opposite.
@@MrPickledede Although in Europe they grow up learning British English so Italy isn't the best example. You might be right about the rest of the world though.
very helpful! i'm playing "bruce" in "finding nemo jr" & want to use an ozzy accent!
This made me realize that they do this in the Northeastern (more specifically, Rhode Island) part of the US! I'd been wondering why I'd hear them pronounce "saw" with an R sound at the end.
Amazing video! Thank you so much! I'm going to try speak like that :)
thanks so much mate !
Thank you, I didn't know about it.
Iam very interesting indeed.
I live in Juba republic of South Sudan and we are struggling to performance this country as speaking English language.
Thanks mate for this tip.
that quokka is really cute actually
thank you
Do you do this in slang language? Or what?
Also I always have trouble pronouncing the J,Y could you maybe make a video on that
The r annoys me when I hear some Australians speak. I mean, instead of the word 'home', it sounds like 'horme'. Like the r is in the middle of a word. Instead of 'done', it sounds like 'dern'. I don't know, it's weird.
Here I'm totally confused! How would we know that we should use intrusive' r' in this and that line??
Thanks!
I hate my Polish accent...
It possible to change my accent?
Typical polish who complains about his own accent, instead of just being yourself, nobody's gonna judge....
How about Ave-r Gard-na is a dish.
You draw it , no ya drew it !
I think it happens because the letters AW sounds like OR. In the same way after schwa UH that is the weak sound of an R.
Also occurs when the first word ends with a schwa. Great video : -)
I do this too. I’m a New Yorker 😭
I did n't understand why 'r' is added behind the words and why it is added and where it's added
So my first language isn't English and I live in Cali and I just mix some American with some Aussie English bc idk how to pronounce some words in like American English and I'm so confused idk which one to use anymore lmao. Personally I think Aussie is easier
Thanks a ton for this video mate! This is gonna help me a lot in future coz I'll be going to Australia soon!
It works well while masking a glottal stop, but otherwise it feels superfluous. but a terrific and insightful video!
God damn it, now i feel like i have to manually insert the intrusive Rs because i am aware of it.
Hi, there mate! I know the intrusive r is common in British English too but how about American English? Does this occur in American English as well?
I really doubt it. Not a single American I know says "drawing" with an "r" in the middle of the word. Whereas every Aussie I know says "draw-r-ing". Also, based on my experience, an Aussie would always say "law rand order" even in very slow speech.
As an American English speaker and amateur linguist I can say for certain that we don’t use it at all. Aussie is on the right track, though. Most Americans prefer gliding between vowels (thus the “y” sound he suggested) or inserting a glottal stop between them (the same sound you get when you say “uh-oh” or when you end a word ending in -nt). Hearing “zebrar eats” sound extremely non-native to me. But good question!
You hear this in Boston and New Hampshire. "I saw(r) it." "Her name is Lisa(r)."
I stand corrected!
Holy shit I've wondered what this was! I watch some youtubers that are Australian, but I've noticed that their accent does this and I didn't know how to describe it! To me, some of them sounded like they inserted a combination of an "R" and an "L" at the end of some words, almost like the Japanese "R" sound (which is neither an R or an L)
Does anybody know why the Australian accent is like this though? I would love to learn the linguistic history of why this is!
I was quite confused when my lecturer or tutor said 'draw-r-ing'. I thought they said 'drawer' and turn it into verb the I looked at it in dictionary but nothing found
as an aussie, i just found out that i add r's to the end of words
I'm just miffed that he's not addressing the intrusive R whenever he says "flow..."
"Make it floor better." 🤣
What does it mean 'pop in' ?
Aussie English THANK YOU 🇵🇪🇦🇺
"Pop" is used in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. It basically stand in for any quick movement.
"I'm just going down to the shops for a moment"= "I'm just popping down to the shops."
"Get up on the table, please" = "Just pop up on the table, please."
"I just came in to say hi" = "I just popped in to say hi"

wow, besides the video I'm enjoying the comments also😂. Thanks for the tip .
This also appears in southern US dialects
Yep, & sometimes We drop the r at the end of a word that ends with or or er & replace it with an a & words that have the letter t or tt in the middle are also replaced with a d or dd & sometimes We tend to drop the h at the beginning of words & the g at the end of words that end with ing, here's are a couple of examples, "The Prisoner is waiting to meet his Accuser, :- Thee Prisna is waitin to meet his Accusa" "I seem to have lost the cursor on My computer :- I seem to ave lost the cursa on My compudea" "How are You going? Just wait here for a Me, I'm just locking up, :- Ow Ya goin? Just wait ere for Me, I'm just lockin up" "Why are You hanging around this Hotel, I'm not hanging around, it's nearly opening time, :- Wire Ya angin round this otel? I'm not angin round, it's nilly openin time".
i love ur videos
Your video s are really great and helpful! do the Australian 'o' too if haven't done it yet~ the o sound with 'r' in it haha
I first noticed this when I caught myself saying "Honda Record" instead of Honda Accord
As a Japanes, this intrusive r is really making my life in Australia hell!😂
It sounds weird to me. Why don’t you use intrusive y or w in the above examples? It also sounds smoother.
Why does it need to sound smoother? It just seems lazy.
Hi there, I'm very thankful with all your amazing work, it helps me a lot as a non-native speaker, but I'm just curious about this intrusive R, is it something that only happens in the Australian English?, or it also happens in the British one for example?, and what about the American version, cheers man, have a good day.
It's common in Britain these days as well (more than in the past), but not nearly as much in the US. Americans tend to use a glottal stop, or sort of run vowels together. Though there are regional exceptions.
Why we need to use r in this sentences? I'm bit confused mate
You don't "need" to, unless you want to sound like an Australian.
Hello. Thanks for the video. I think Australian accent is harder to learn compared with American and even British. And Australian academics should promote a more standard way of speaking.
That's killa really but if u don't mind please I don't know really if someone telling u how r u example its so hard if I don't heard it voice how can I say hey u told me how am I yea like that please explain for us
It's a very very British and RP thing. Australia uses it too. The intrusive R.
My dad always said sawer
He really said "soorrrr cute"
As an Aussie I can't tell the difference
Thé stupid people here arguing about how the Australian accent should be 😂
I'm Australian, and recently started teaching English to French speakers.
The intrusive R/Y/W is also applicable to other English accents.
I never noticed that we did it until I had to teach it!
Thanks so much for your videos 😊

OMG - it sounds so much better WITHOUT the intrusive "R." Do all Australians do this?
Why to put R
But i meant if you say that Quaker is cute so you are saying that quaker is cute not quaka so people cant under stand
Why cant people understand me even though i think i said everything fine
Holy crap, I never even realised that I always put the R in
It Feels easier to put the R in the middle❤
Now I better understand it.
I heard some aussie don't say like that.
Biggest difference between uk accents and aussie. Uk (and some american) often leave out the r that is supposed to be there. Aussies add rs that arent lol
That's a tricky 1😂
I DO NOT UNDERSTANDDDDDD THE R DO U SAY IT OR NOT
1. it does't improve the flow.
2. it doesn't sound weird not to use the r.
3. you aussies don't just put the R between words. You usually add one to the word No by itself or the word So by itself (along with hundreds of others, I've even heard an R added to interjections like "awww(r)")
Totally agree. This guy is teaching bad grammar. These sentences sound so much better WITHOUT the intrusive "R."
@@blue3381 That's not grammar, that's pronunciation (or accent).
@@premanadi Huh? He's literally teaching an incorrect way to speak (grammar.) He's siting a colloquial/vernacular form of speech which SOME Aussies use, but it's not considered the correct way, as this man suggests.
@@blue3381 Grammar is not the "way to speak." Look up the definition online. This is guy teaching an accent. Accents are not correct or incorrect.
Virtually everyone, in every language, dialect and accent, speaks in ways that you could call "incorrect." There are levels of formality in speech. In English, you can pronounce each word clearly and distinctly, enunciating every consonant "correctly." But hardly anyone does that in everyday life; we run words together all the time, especially when speaking rapidly. Otherwise you sound pretentious, like a university professor giving a lecture.
In French, there are elisions that happen where words are connected together; there are unwritten sounds that are inserted to connect certain words; there are written syllables that are dropped; many things change depending on how formal or casual the speech is and what your social relationship is with the person you are speaking to.
If this guy is suggesting this is the ONLY "correct" way to speak, then he is also wrong. But it is a standard way to speak in Australia (and the UK and New Zealand, I might add, as well as some parts of the USA). It's not "wrong."
You probably think your own way of speaking is "correct," but I guarantee you there is some other native English speaker somewhere who would hear you and be horrified by it, because it's different from their own.
Which is correct, rhotic English (such as the US and Canadian accents) or non-rhotic (such as much of the UK, Australia and New Zealand)? Are the British "wrong" because they drop their Rs? Who decides?
@@premanadi it's called an "intrusive r" and is a colloquial way of regional speech - not an accent. Where I live people most people say, 'hayadoin" (how you doing) - it's not an accent, it's a colloquial expression, and to actually teach it is as good grammar would be incorrect.
I'm a pilipino but I never realized that I already doing it 😂
Can you address the incorrect use of “brought”? It drives me crazy when people use “brought” when they should use “bought” or vice versa.
Aussie English Thanks for the reply! I’m from California and have been living in Australia for about 5 years. My partner is Aussie and your vlog about the silos with the murals near Geelong caught his eye since he drives by that often. We then watched quite a few of your videos and had a bit of a laugh because I used to, how would you put it, make him aware of his accent 😜 Great content 👍
Aussie English no wackas, cheers!
I Don't agree it improves the flow it sounds weird
Totally agree. This guy is teaching bad grammar. These sentences sound so much better WITHOUT the intrusive "R."
omg it looks like your eyes are under a big eye filter :O
Im here cuz of rosé, Felix and bangchan ❤
The ones that doesn’t feel intuitive to me are like “saw it” the more I say it the weirder it gets xD All the other ones are just fine though
Now say (you're r rare) 5 times fast 😂
I DREW it
Stralyashuge no r, gunna thorout the fish not going to 👍
I can speak normally not pausing my sentences without pronounce this intrusive r.
Lol, The intrusive r of is not done to make things flow better. It's just an accent. Believe me American English flows just fine with people not adding the letter r at the end of words
"It's sounds weird to say 'the tuna is mine' or 'I saw it yesterday'." Ummm no it doesn't. It actually sounds weirder to put a fucking "r" in a word where it doesn't need to be.
they're bad examples, especially the first one, where it can just be contracted to "the tuna's mine" :p
Totally r unnecessary r if u ask me ... I mean r seriously r why complicate r things ? 😂
Any more Brazilians watching?
This is too insane... He would even write like that.. Draw would be drawr... Sawr... thawr.....I feel like my heritage IS ALLL A LIIIIIIEEEEEE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭...... 😂😂😂😂😂
