I&#8217;m convinced Margot Robbie made it up as a joke,&#8221; one person commented.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where in Australia has this ever been said? NEVER,&#8221; another said while a third agreed: &#8220;Who says that even??? I&#8217;m an Aussie and I don&#8217;t say that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, others suggested an Australian could not claim to be a native if they had not heard of the saying.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is so real whoever is Aussie and hasn&#8217;t said this, you&#8217;re not Aussie lad,&#8221; one person said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a West Australian, I have heard this saying plenty. Chris is not alone,&#8221; another commented while a third added: &#8220;If you haven&#8217;t heard this saying, you can&#8217;t convince me you&#8217;re actually Australian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hemsworth and his wife Elsa Pataky, and their three children, India Rose, 13, and 11-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan, moved to Byron Bay in 2015 from Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n<p>The Hollywood actor recently revealed why he decided to move back to Australia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was right around the time my boys were born, and it was just, we kind of were set up in LA and not enjoying it, you know?&#8221; Hemsworth told Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett on the latest episode of the SmartLess podcast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like nothing was shooting there. We were filming kind of everywhere else.
