In Aussie drinking culture, a shout isn’t yelling—it’s buying a round. It’s basically an unspoken contract of friendship: you get this one, someone else gets the next. A person who dodges their shout is instantly sus and might get branded a bludger. It keeps the drinks flowing, the vibes high, and the group united. If someone says “your shout,” they’re either reminding you politely or calling you out loudly.
