An Australian tourist upset over her airborne snack says the slang term "fair dinkum" landed her in a fair amount of hot water this week on a flight from Atlanta to Pittsburgh.
Sophie Reynolds, 41, said the problem began about halfway through her Delta Connection flight on SkyWest Airlines when she rejected a snack of crackers and asked the flight attendant for pretzels.
Frankly, I do find in general Aussies crude with their language & mannerisms. They might not know it but if they ask non-Aussies, they will probably do a comparison among the English speaking community & say that it is the case. So, I don't find it out of step for the Delta FA to ask for a security check.
