I got blocked..could it have been a language issue?

Someone I enjoyed talking to came on today, and said hello, and I asked about their day. I called them a "stirrer"..which here means someone who likes to stir up a bit of trouble, usually just im a fun way..next minute I was blocked..could that have been why? im not giving details about who the person is, they have the right to block anyone they want, I was simpy curious if maybe in America it has a different meaning

Not a slang word I recognize?
A stirrer were I live is those small plastic stick things you use to stir your coffee.
I am a American.
Live in Midwest.

@SW-User ha, yeah, here there are a few like that too..it means the british version here as well. There are words I know Americans are bothered by, that i do my best not to use, but sometimes it will slip out because after al, my brain thinks in Aussie, and the same words while highly offensive to an American, I can call my best mate as a term of endearment

@Bushmanoz Fun talking to other folks, but the cultural barriers do get in the way at times

Too true. I try my best, can't do more than that

@Bushmanoz 😂 What can I say ...
Thanks for the laugh, actually chuckling here.

Ok, we have kinda derailed the OP's post, you should apologise

Zoranna · F

@Bushmanoz Oh I do, hand on heart! Sorreee 😉
I'll go now, and let you get your arse into gear. See ya, keep warm and dry. 😄

Many things get misconstrued in writing plus a lot of people, I find, don't get the Aussie humour. That is unfortunate considering you enjoyed chatting with them. Cheers.

@Zoranna yeah, but it's hard to think "hey, that's a bit aussie and obscure" it's just how we talk, cheers, have a good one

@Bushmanoz I know it is. Thanks, you too.

Maybe you are being too serious and when you make a joke, they take it seriously?
Like you are not really talking them in person, but you think you are talking them p2p.
There are a lot things(your facial expression, your movement when you talk, the tone of your talking) that can't be (accurately) expressed through the words you sent to them[c=#4C0073].[/c]
