English backpacker shocked to find Aussies don't like being called 'champ'
To me it is a polite usage
An English backpacker has found himself befuddled by various aspects of Aussie culture after moving Down Under, from our sense of humour to our obsession with early morning exercise. Most recently, he has put our aversion to a seemingly inoffensive word in his smartphone’s spotlight, putting a video out on TikTok asking others to explain what is so offensive about it.
Speaking through hair so floppy it would put a storage disk to shame, the backpacker named Kyle said: “if you call [Australians] “champ” they’re going to want to punch you in the face.”
“Australians: explain it to me in the comments because I found out but I didn’t exactly get the reason why and it’s very interesting,” he added.
Australians were quick to explain that, over here, calling someone a “champ” or “boss” is generally considered over-familiar at best, and patronising and condescending at worst.
“Champ is passive aggressive to Aussies,” one social media user said, while another added: “Champ is like belittling; it’s patronising like buddy.”
