Bruce the Aussie Slang Bot, Facebook's aide for those who do not speak gibberish, I mean Australian

Ah, Australia. You never fail to bring a smile to my face with your tech-related news. Today I had the pleasure – and now you, the readers, will – of learning about Bruce, the Aussie Slang Bot. Bruce is a Facebook app designed for tourists. Its main objective is to quickly translate Australian slang terms into English that can be actually understood by normal people. Bruce offers translations of over one thousand Australian slang terms, which, granted, is most of them, but still misses some of the more NSFW ones, e.g. fuckwit, pissbolt or my favourite ”We are not here to fuck spiders”.

Classic knifey-spooney clip from The Simpsons, because that will never get old.
