I am now officially old. I did not understand one word of what you just wrote.
Also, I can't imagine the English not throwing shade at Australians.
What did they say?

Bad Obsession is some guys who are buggering about putting a stereo in an old Mini.
MCM is, of course, the Roman numeral for 1900. I don't get the connection either.
I'm not sure if you guys are being intentionally dense or actually don't know...
MCM is Mighty Car Mods, a little youtube channel (with nearly 3 million subscribers.)
I caught the reference to Mighty Car Mods in Project Binky, but did not recognize MCM in this thread. Too much abbreviation everywhere. Nor did I get throwing shade as dissing.

"Throwing shade" is "dissing"? I thought it meant lampshading, meaning you're bringing attention to a reference you are making.
What's "dissing"?
In reply to Woody :
If you do it to Terry while playing Oregon Trail, your character will die.
(But seriously, it's short for "disrespecting")
Literally all of you are old as dirt.
In reply to Grizz :
It's called patina 
You mean MCM isn’t mid century modern? LOL... 2JZ C6 Z71 F2T E38 993 P71 berkeley who can keep track?
This thread is more confusing than when I stumbled into the Interstellar Sledgehammer thread with no context.
What's the internet?

"I've never seen so many stupid acronyms for driver controls, we've got DCC, DSTC, CRAP..."
Man crush mondays
Throw Shade from Urban Dictionary
to talk trash about a friend or aquaintance, to publicly denounce or disrespect. When throwing shade it's immediately obvious to on-lookers that the thrower, and not the throwee, is the bitcy, uncool one.
In normal language terms it might be to cast darkness or comments of disparaging activity falsely upon someone else.
Australian is an interesting language. There are many idioms that don't directly translate to US English (or British English)
Fair Dinkum is another example.
On top of that, the Australians abreviate EVERYTHING. Not an abbreviation like initials but just randomly shorten words. A simple sample might be telly for television but it has more to do with just not saying the whole word and implying what the word is in the context of that specific conversation.
Too many TLAs! GOML!

And is one of the best FREE car programs to watch on a screen. You’d have to live under a rock in the automotive world to not know them.

Im not.
But i generally live under old broken mopars, as thy are slightly more comfortable than living under a rock.
So, i was lost as well.
I think I am actually older than some of the dirt encountered in auto service...
English
Use it
The propensity for people to make up words to express something that can already be easily expressed is pretty amazing. English already has a VERY wide selection of words (e.g. propensity).
In reply to Knurled. :
Dissing Terry will get you every time.
Also I think “diss” has had that meaning for several decades.

Isn't it beautiful. It takes fast as well.
Pardon me sir, you appear to be on my lawn. I must insist you remove yourself post haste.
The reality is that a word means what people think it means. I am sure many languages have a lot of slang words, the amount in American English has to be a bit of a nightmare for people learning the language (e.g. hot, cool, bad, sick...).
