houso \HOW-zo\ (for true Aussie effect, hold your nose while you say it), noun: someone who lives in public housing; the Aussie equivalent of calling someone "white trash" or "redneck."
"I'm not so sure about that little wifebeater ["singlet" or "singy" in Australian]. Zeke looks like a baby houso."
Hahaha! He is so CUTE! I just want to pick him up and kiss on him! Even though he looks like a little houso. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I've got it.
ReplyDelete"Zeke is an adorable houso!"
I learned something today and can now go home. Thank you. Seriously, what a cutie you have on your hands.
Aw, thanks! He is outrageously cute, isn't he? It's all coming together lately -- the curly hair, the teeth, the smiles and giggles, the chub. Sometimes I feel like I can't even deal with how adorable he is.
ReplyDeletehe is just darling and looks like an old soul :-) and i totally pinched my nose when i said "houso". I sounded very much like a robot, albeit an Australian one.
ReplyDeleteThe holding of the nose is to produce the requisite nasal effect -- I find heavy Aussie accents to sound extraordinarily nasal.
ReplyDeleteHe's sooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHe could only truly pull off the houso look if he were waving about a baby bottle full of Pepsi.
or a baby-sized pack of Kools tucked into the strap of his shirt...
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the fingers stained orange from Chee-tos!
ReplyDeleteHe is too cute for words!
The dog's ass in his face helps with the houso street cred too.
ReplyDeleteIf he were hanging out under a porch with the dog's ass in his face, that would be perfect. He was actually turning his head to gaze adoringly at the dog. He looooves Max.
