Cockblocking is a slang term for an intentional action aimed at preventing someone from having sexual intercourse with another. A cockblock, or cockblocker, is a person who engages in such obstruction or intervention. Why do girls cockblock though? Women travel in packs. When one is in need of assistance, another will provide her with help; “Girl I got your back!” (Please note I am not from the ghetto). Therefore boys, if she doesn’t want you, prepare to face the wrath of her cake-faced girlfriends.
“Hey, what’s your number? I will hit you up some time.” That classic line is much too common to some women, however, women continue to give men a ‘phone number’ even though they have no intention of sleeping with him, let alone texting him! Therefore, women have resorted to a tactic that seems to ease their conscience and at the same time portray eagerness.
Many of Melbourne’s bar and media people gathered at the new South Yarra bar The Emerson for the first Time Out Melbourne Bar Awards on Monday November 25th. Happening on The Emerson’s rooftop bar with its gorgeous view of Commercial Road (expect for the construction happening across the road), with many complimentary Rekorderlig ciders, Sail & Anchor beers, Havana rum cocktails and Tempus Two wines flowing (score!).
Bouncers are that one person standing between you and your night out. Six-foot or taller and complete muscle, bouncers have the responsibility of selecting nightclubs patrons. Therefore, it is your duty to prove to these apes as to why you should be guaranteed entry.
The boys at Red Island Brewing have done it again, bringing us their brand new brew, the India Pale Ale. Dubbing itself as “your new drinking wingman”, this smooth brew goes down a treat. There’s little of that pesky froth that us beer drinkers can’t stand that gets in the way of the actual beer (score!).
Statistics show that majority of women are attracted to men who dress with a sense of formality, when compared to men who choose the easy way out and dress in casual attire. Girls definitely notice slovenly dressing, and it’s a major turnoff.
A recent study by VicHealth and RMIT University concluded that there are four types of drinkers out there (or at least in Victoria). Embodying Australia’s huge drinking culture, it comes as no surprise that not only are there a lot of drinkers in Oz, but drinkers can be categorised into subgroups. Yep, us Aussies certainly love slowly destroying our livers.
Whenever it’s late October or early November, Melbournians all of a sudden take a huge interest in horse racing. It’s amazing that for people who for the most part couldn’t care less about a bunch of horses going round a big grassy circle, they suddenly feel the need to dress up in their best clothes, or even buy new clothes just for this occasion. This phenomenon is what we in Melbourne call Spring Carnival.
When foreign travellers visiting our shores ruminate the national characteristics of Australia, drinking and partying is often featured towards the top of the list. This observation seems accurate as many of us enjoy the chaotic auditorium that is the nightlife scene and the boozing that goes along with it.
If you are from Melbourne, y’all might remember a little thing called SUPERDISCO. SD was Prince of Wales on a Saturday night and was lots of fun when it was kicking around circa 2010-2011 until it got closed down.
