The Yank would have no clue if they meant yes or no, which is understandable for someone who doesn\u2019t get our slang,&#8221; the site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ladbible.com\/community\/fail-aussie-soldiers-to-be-banned-from-using-local-slang-around-americans-20190501\" target=\"_blank\">LADbible<\/a> said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It seems that communication should be crystal clear if you\u2019re operating military equipment.

didn\u2019t happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSo you start using colloquialisms and all of a sudden you have complete misunderstandings about whether something is going
