G'day There! growing up we had Texas which was a brand name and back then the only type of marker on the market. A bot like "Esky" was a brand name which these days covers all chiller boxes... For a good range of cordial flavours take a look at the Bickfords range a bot dearer than the ones you get in the big plastic bottles but with some great flavours...I especially like Bitter Lemon and Pink Grapefruit... Cheers!
Hi Kim, loved this! My husband is American and obviously he says juice box and pants still (despite living here in the U.K 17yrs now!) I cannot get my head around the Lollies being all sweets one AT ALL! I've met Aussies who shorten words and Mark Webber of F1 fame does that too despite living in U.K for years too. I wondered is the Woolworths shop there the old Woolworths we used to have in the U.K? Take care, love from the U.K Jessie x
I definitely wondered this too but I think they are completely different. Woollies here is purely just food, not even any clothes etc so I think it's just coincidence that they have the same name. Remember ladybird clothing? 😅😅😅
Dooner=Duvet Peppers=Capsicum Zucchini =Courgette Swimming costume=Cossie Skivvy=Polo neck Just a few I could think of off the top of my head.Im an Australian grew up there in 70's and 80's live in UK now.Love your vlogs by the way!
When I was growing up we always had "sweets" after our evening meal which was always called "tea", never "dinner". I thought it was cute that my British brother-in-law said mossy paths were "slippy" - in Aus we say "slippery"
Hi Kimberly,love the video. Even though i have been back for 7years in the UK and still find myself using the Aussie lingo! I do get some very confused looks from the Brits!! lol. I find one saying when i say crook for feeling ill does confuse the docs!!!! Hope you are enjoying your long summer. Scotland due for lots of snow this month apparently !!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶 Sending you all love x❤
Enjoyed your video , spending my entire life and n Tassie I have never heard of juice box . As for the shoes the most common term here is sand shoes , then either runners or joggers . Growing up in the 70s & 80s we called the trucks with an open trailer that carryl ogs etc Lorries, and if they had enclosed container etc as a trailer we called them semi's
@caityrobson8872 we've learnt that a popper is a juice bottle with a pop top, hence popper. Juice box I assume because it's in a box, and its juice. Maybe a Sydney thing.
@@kimberleylucas maybe it is! I’m up in Brisbane. We call the ones with a pop top a ‘Pop Top’ but they are also commonly called ‘Poppers’. I think the ‘Pop top’ name is more of a reference to the brand. Even with swimmers we call them ‘Togs’ but if you said ‘Swimmers or bathers’ I’d know what you mean, although I and other QLDers may look at you strange if you say ‘Bathers’ 😅 If you hear anyone refer to you as a ‘Cockroach’ it means you’re from or live in NSW, this you’ll mostly hear said from someone from QLD 😅 It’s especially prevalent during the ‘State of Origin’ footy games! There’s a massive rivalry between NSW and QLD.
It's a popper in Sydney too but I've noticed younger people are saying juice box because of American influence. Also, my local woolies has a lot of cordial flavours so maybe that's more your area Kimberley.
A single trailer is a "semi",2 trailers is a "B-double", 3 & 4 trailers is a "road train". You won't see a road train in a metropolitan area. A shout is a round of drinks,usually in a group & each in tyrn has a "shout". It is not proper to leave until you have paid for your "shout". How'ya goin' can also be shortened to airyagowen. G'day mate isn't all that common but G'day is or even G'day,airyagowen. Usually G'day is enough. Those small juice carton drinks my grandkids just call juice.....
When i came to australia from scotland i used to say fizzy juice and no one knew what i was talking about haha. I still cant deal with sweets being called lollies!
OK, let me say this , the problem is, the generation you are talking too have not heard a lot of that stuff, those words etc. I have found they also mispronounce words because they have never heard them before, and it really grates on me when I hear young newscasters completely clueless of the correct pronunciation of words. Lorry, is a common word for my generation, we used it all the time to describe a small truck because basically when that word was invented there was no large trucks or road trains. A semi is what we describe as a large truck . Hoover is also a common use word for me. being a common brand of vacuum cleaner , it is what everyone had to vacuum their house,There was no Shark or Dyson or Samsung or panasonic ,it was always a hoover or an electrolux. Lollies is a word used to describe anything you put in your mouth that is sweet and sugary, Sweets could be lollies but also implies something sweet such as a cake or slice , it's one of those words that leaves you guessing as to what the person will actually turn up with. Good shout we don't use. But the word shout could imply you are going to pay for something . Some of those abbreviated words are never used.i have seen a number of video's where two guys sit there ,one says the correct word and the other using the abbreviated form and half of what they say is b/s. It also depends on your background, where you came from and education levels . You are more likely to hear abbreviated words more often from what we call "ockers" What you describe as a paper towel is a paper towel, no argument from me on that one. We say Alfoil (a old brand) or just foil . How ya going is common does not need a reply like "I'm going to drive my car or catch a bus" just a I'm OK how are you " will do. Gday mate , your right , hardly ever used except by tourists greeting animals in TH-cam videos ...once again an "ocker" term . Cordial is used for something you mix with water,Juice is juice regardless of whether it is 100% or diluted.
Just a fun video of words I've come across since my time here. Not intended to correct anyone or to say a saying is wrong. I enjoyed these type of videos when we were moving over here ❤
Different states have different names for things? I live in Australia from New Zealand even the two the two countries have different names for things Eg NZ - chilly bin Aust - Eski NZ - duvet. Aust - doona NZ - Jandals Aust - things The list goes on

@kimberleylucas Yes I do! I wonder if the Australian Woolies just decided to stick with food and got rid of clothes and other stuff.
Dooner=Duvet
Peppers=Capsicum
Zucchini =Courgette
Swimming costume=Cossie
Skivvy=Polo neck
Just a few I could think of off the top of my head.Im an Australian grew up there in 70's and 80's live in UK now.Love your vlogs by the way!
Oh my goodness I forgot about capsicum 😅 WTF that one confuses me all the time 😅 and yes zucchini got me too! Thanks for reminding me 😅😅

Never ever had a ‘juice box’ in our Aussie house it was always a “popper”.
Same! I’ve never heard anyone say ‘juice box’ only ever ‘Popper’. If someone asked me for a ‘juice box’ I’d have no idea what they meant…

@caityrobson8872 oh my goodness I NEVER want to be called a cockroach 😅 ewww!!! I had no idea about the rivalry! Thanks for telling me 😊

NZ - duvet. Aust - doona
NZ - Jandals Aust - things
The list goes on
Bathers swimmers or cozzie.

And don’t get stared which country invented lamingtons and pavlova
Are you wearing your pants? 😂 He looked dumb founded. 😅
Haha not a question I would usually ask him 😅😅😅😅
Texta is not spelt the way you had it (just letting you know) - Bathers/Swimmers are costumes in NSW, Togs in QLD
Oh I guessed I'd have spelt something wrong 😅
Firstly congratulations on pronouncing Tuggerah ( Other video )
Afternoon is Arvo -long A ( not Avro ). Not to be confused with Avo ( Short A ) for Avocado
Sweets definitely desert
You need to shorten your vowels in Devo and Ambo
Hoover manufacture vacuum cleaners and your use of a brand name to describe a household chore indicates how much you are controlled be advertising.
My family brought me up using the word Hoover, that's the reason I use it 😊
