Some Insane Wildcards Call Spaghetti Bolognese ‘Spag Bog’ Instead Of ‘Spag Bol’
Who are these miscreants who say 'spag bog' and how can we deport them.
In case you missed it, Australia is an exceedingly large country and because of this, the common-tongue often mutates itself from state to state. We’ve talked extensively about the language changes that we all agree to disagree with — Togs or swimmers? Taps or bubblers? Primas or poppers? — all the while knowing that ‘dinger’ is the correct way to reference a condom, and ‘franger’ is just wrong. You heard me.
Well, now another affront to the Queen’s English has been put on the public record. Last night on The Project, the panel had an impromptu debate about the correct way to abbreviate ‘spaghetti bolognese’ and well, one of the suggestions is not only sickening but is also personally offensive to every Australian.
In short: if you say ‘spag bog’ instead of ‘spag bol’, you should be absolutely bloody ashamed of yourself.
It's the battle dividing the nation – #TeamSpagBol or #TeamSpagBog?

The most distressing thing about this whole thing (more distressing than hearing Peter Helliar repeatedly say “bog”) is that on Twitter, this debate is neck and neck. This goes beyond regional lingo — there are really people out there who think that it’s okay to reference spaghetti bolognese in a way that makes it sound like a steaming plate of pasta drenched in faeces.
@theprojecttv mum always told us spag bog but then again she would have a**holes wrote down on her shopping list for her term of rissoles ?

Hang your head in shame, Australia.
