Ja’mie King’s Glossary To Not Sounding Povo

Earlier this week, we learned that Ja’mie King is returning to school for her last year before Uni. We are thrilled that Chris Lilley will reprise his role as the ever so bitch teenager who rules Hilford (and Summer Heights High). In order to prep for the new series, we thought it was important to review King’s glossary to not sounding povo because the last thing we would want to do is embarrass ourselves in front of her. (That would be so Bogan of us.)  AIDS (n.): a disease caused by the virus called HIV, also a cause supported by Ja’mie in hopes to raise money for the formal.

Example:

Asian try-hard (n.): A person of Asian decent who tries too hard.

Example: “Bec, you called me, you wanted some advice on how to get a boyfriend. I was giving you advice.”

Australian of the Year (n.): An award Ja’mie was nominated for her work with Sudanese people. Barton, Mischa (person): An actress that is often compared to Ja’mie King.

Example: “My friends say that I look like Mischa Barton in that photo.”

Bogan (n.): A poor person lacking class or general appeal of any kind.

Example: “I don’t want to be in classrooms where there’s no air conditioning and asbestos in the roof and just crap desks and skanky bogans everywhere and sluts and I just wish I was with my friends and I wish I was going back to Hilford.”

Bridge (n.): A pathway that needs to be built in order for someone to cross it.
