1st week of quarantine: National Introvert & Ambivert Month 2nd week of quarantine: How 2 b an Aussie 2 week & 3rd day of quarantine: Russian folk music 3rd week of quarantine: Soviet national anthem XD Boredom made me this TwT
It's 12:18am in Poland rn and I'm here trying to learn some aussie slang... My brother came into my room and asked me If I'm fine 😂 But well.. Thank you for lesson, I feel motivated to try different English accents now🤙👌
@@AussieEnglishPodcast OMG! IT'S THE FIRST TIME ONE OF MY FAVE TH-camRS HAS REPLIED TO ME!! THANK YOU! I decided to write it because I wanted to find the words easier, since I am writing a book, and one of my characters has an Australian accent.
maybe through music, aussie accents works pretty very well in a musical context, and is very often (sometimes unconsciencly) lifted. in music they fuck around with words all the time.
You often don't realize which words you use everyday are Aussie until you meet foreigners particularly when travelling OS and they don't understand you. We learn more about some other places from what we watch on tellie.
I've got Australian friends and I don't understand of some words they're sayin. New to your channel here from Philippines. Cheers! I've learned a lot today!
Cheers mate, played this to my 8yo old son who is obcessed with the Australian accent and often tries the accent out for days on end.....he's getting pretty good 👍
During my school days in South Australia, we used to study for a few months to make English adaptions there. It turns out that there are many differences in the English we learn in Malaysia, especially the accent even though Australian English is simpler than English.
"hey mate! chuck some sausies on that barbie!" when I heard that one time, I didn't know what to do lol I'm a non-native speaker :) But I could understand you accent!
Gday mate hows u going? Im cactus today Deadset?! Yea mate grab me a coldie or an esky or a frothy, Fair dinkum? U really a cobber... Good on ya mate 😂
I've been listening to your videos mostly to expose myself to the accent (to mimic eventually) and now I have a few more insults to throw at my friend in Brisbane. 😂 He's such a dag.
I really enjoyed this! My boyfriend is Australian so it was a blast seeing thins and learning more about the culture! I think you teach it in a really good way too by using the terms in other terms so you remember it more easily!
I been out of Oz for so long and its really lovely for me to hear all the slangs again!!!! Nice One!!!! Now my kids are learning the slangs and love them!
Thanks a heap! Really helpful. Often heared people saying fairdinkum, G'day, arvo, barbie and a few more but this video is really gona help more. When you said "The bush", it reminded me of another phrase I heared from your one of the videos: To beat around the bush!
@@AussieEnglishPodcast yeah, I learned alot of new words today like cab sav, The Aussie Salute, Bail, Bathers, billabong, a billy, a bludger,etc. I have already started using them. Good on ya mate!
a few varied more local terms for the long drop toilets can be: a "long drop" "alright im going to go use the long drop" a "pothole"/"hole" "alright im gonna use the bloody long drop up there, leave it for a solid 10 minutes after i come back out" another for just toilet which is shared for british can be "loo" "im just going to the loo, so i'll be a few minutes"
In Canada we have a few of the same slang terms. For Goon, we call it "Cardboardeau". Thanks for this so much. I have Aussie friends and want to learn the slang to keep up.
Awesome Work you do!. Thanks a Bunch!!. Cheers!. In 1999 I spent some time on Manly beach and everybody was so nice and polite!. Even local surfers!. Unfortunately that does not always happens this way here in Brazil....
I'm an Australian teaching English in Chile, haven't been back for two and half years. Love this video, it's had me chuckling and thinking of home. Just shared it with a student heading to Oz.
Good on ya mate! Very Nice. I've been teaching English in China for 16 years and when I've been asked to explain Aussie slang I've run out of ideas. Great video, simple, comprehensive and funny.
Thanks a lot about your great lesson I'd rather you taught us more about it coz i wanna speak fluently as well i was based on American accent what i do understand is that aussie is the best that's why i wanna level up my level so you as a teacher keep up the good work
So I'm from Suffolk and if you didn't know the majority of the British that went to Australia came from Suffolk County. I didn't realise how many of these "slang" words I use daily without realising they're so used in Australia. It's funny because I want to move out to auz when I get my Part 66 B1.1 AME License in the future so at least I'll understand everything XD
I'm from Straya! Deadset knew about 90% of these I'm from Livo in the Southwest of Sydney :) we use other words like Eshays as well! Good on you! Great video
Met a random australian player in an MMO today, and I followed along what she was saying some of the time thanks to watching this video a few weeks ago
Thanks for the video, I have learnt so much!! please continue teaching Australian Accent. I have been living in Australia for more than 10 years, and I am still learning,
Arvo, Gday, brekky, barbie Etc. I didn't understand well these words at first when I talked with my husband who is from Australia. Thanks for helping me to understand him.
I like the fact that slang is used on pretty official objects here, at train stations in Adelaide there's signs telling people to not be a "fare bludger"
I saw a poster on the internet from an Australian train company that hypothetically encouraged a young man named "Jim" not to w*nk on the train because he saw a pretty girl (written in the "See John run, see Sally laugh" style used in old elementary school textbooks). It ended something like "Jim decides to get home before he has a w*nk. Good on you, Jim!" It was very well done and I've never been sure if it was a parody or not.
G’day Pete. Have you ever heard the expressions “Tah” or “How’d”? I really don’t know how spell them, but I hear them a lot. However, I suppose by the context people use that “Tah” is a way to thank for something. Eg. Here is you change... Tah! And “How’d” is used when greeting someone, that I suppose that is a short for “How are you doing?” Are they Australian expressions? Do they really mean what I think? Cheers!
Dag is a great word because we don't have an equivalent here in US. we use stone cold for dead set. we use cold one all the time, an esky is a coozy, guys say bro instead of mate, (its really lame), goon is a man hired to rough up or intimidate someone. For heaps lately we are saying supes as in super, really or totally.
Hey, great video(s), thanks! I'm from from the US, and I'm planning a trip to Australia so I have some questions: 1. How often are the majority of these terms used with tourists/foreigners? Or is it like an inside "Aussie" lingo? 2. Depending on the answer to 1. Is this just so someone can understand what's being said. And If a Tourist were to use these terms is that weird, like 'trying too hard'? For example in the us we say cooler vs esky, would I just say esky or know what you meant but say cooler? Thanks mate, again great video!
my heart song Heaps of aussies know american term like cooler/ esky, sweater/jumper etc so you will be fine in that area. And if you ever get confused of what we are saying, just ask and we will help you out mate.
Some of the slag words he uses are American for example : Guys instead of blokes. Vacation instead of holiday: The over use of like instead of words like about, almost, approximately or even a round about. Still got somewhat to go. Even Buck is American. Some more Aussie Slang To Ponder. As Thick As Three Bricks. Booza. Wombat. Drunk As a A Skunk. Poopters Love Call. Pommy Wash. Piss Pot. Thunder Boxes. Not The Full Quid. Yobbo. Kangaroos In The Top Paddock. Tub. Fishermen Friend. Snags. A Few Snags Short Of A barbeque. Two Finger Salute. Five Finger Discount. Spetic Tank. Richard Cranium. Mulga.

Part 2, please! Did you have in the video / don't you guys also use? : smashed... avo (avocado), mate (friend), mateship (mate status and associated honour code), take off your... thongs (female underwear or flip flops, depending on gender of person spoken to ), busting a plugger (ruining your flip flops), tradie (a crafts/trade person), usually a tradie drives around in a... UTE (a pickup truck), chuck a uey (take a u-turn, I am not kidding), roid (as in ste-roid - right), Look,... (generic opening of saying anything - does not bear any particular meaning to my understanding), Doof ("stupid" or "idiotic" in German apparently, but "rave party in the bush" in Australian English), Straya (Australia), Wogs (non-Caucasian persons), Lebs (Lebanese persons)... The last two are like... seriously?! But I have heard all of that repeatedly.
Mostly here in the USA (a few very tiny groups elsewhere in the world usually brought there by someone from the states) we have a mideval fantasy weapon combat game called Dagorhir. Clearly this is a very nerdy/dorky/silly thing to do. We gladly accept your terminology of "A dag" for this and it works internationally.
WINE in a aluminium bag, eg; once, keeping it cold in the river has ruined the cardboard box,is called "A BROADMEADOWS BRIEFCASE". The outer Northern suburb, is Broadmeadows, or just "Broady". V.V.Lower-Class, residents generally achieve nothin'.
Aussie English I'm from Spain. Have you ever been here? But I'm moving to Gold Coast in October. I'm really excited but scared 😱 your channel is really useful by the way 😉
Haha I just came across with your channel and it's awesome mate. I've been in australia for nearly 4 years and yet keep struggling sometimes to understand the way aussies speak.
I wish I had an Australian accent, it sounds so laid back and cool. I wish I had an Aussie accent... it kinda sounds similar to how people in Boston shortens words as well. Like a Bostonian would say “pop” or “bang” and U-ey, while an aussie would say “chuck a u-ey”
I already knew about Arvo, Brekky and Barbie thanks to Stray Kids I also knew about Bogan elsewhere thanks for teaching me about the other 46 Aussie slang terms.
Ahahaha I love good ol slang. I remember one time I said "sweet as" to someone and they genuinely had no clue what I was talking about. They asked me "sweet as what? what is it sweet as?"
As a Canadian, we share: Bail, Beauty, Brekky, A Buck, The Bush, Choc-a-Block, A Cold One, Deadset, Get Stuffed, Go Off, Good On Ya, Heaps. Crazy! I thought those were Canadian slang :p
Wow, different, cool... they make all short. i guess its FUTURE ENGLISH. I have Aussie friend, yes sometimes i cant get what he say XD I'll learn more about Aussie slang or accent thank you ^^
So, what I’m gathering from this video is that Aussies just shorten every single word they possible can before the sentence doesn’t make sense LMAO. I love Aussies.
Thanks mate, your video was great help, I will head to Australia next year and it`s always nice to talk like local, or at least try to. Just one doubt, I was told danny is no longer used in sted of loo... Is that right??
dunny is seldom heard now especially among under 40s. loo is far more common. the dunny really referred to the outhouse toilet. was short for dunny can. Mate of mines father used to work on a dunny truck, wasn't allowed in the house until he'd had a cold shower outside. they were often called nightcarters.
My friend made me say “Put some Shrimp on the Barbie” randomly at lunch in a Aussie accent, I died cause I made like a 15% Aussie accent and a 20% European accent and a 50% British accent and a 15% American accent OOF

“Budgie smuggler” has got to be my favorite Aussie slang term. It reminds me of our “banana hammock” in America, but typically more accurate.
I've got Australian friends and I don't understand of some words they're sayin. New to your channel here from Philippines. Cheers! I've learned a lot today!

I would have liked to see your video before arriving in Brisbane! One and a half years struggling with Aussie accent :)
Been using quite a few of these for quite some time now. Always used bail, beauty, choc-o--bloc, and still watching video.
I really enjoyed this! My boyfriend is Australian so it was a blast seeing thins and learning more about the culture! I think you teach it in a really good way too by using the terms in other terms so you remember it more easily!

I was waiting for a comment like this- thank you- ily- lmao ❤

I love how loads of these are just British slang terms said in an Aussie accent. Cracking stuff.
Thanks a heap!
Really helpful.
Often heared people saying fairdinkum, G'day, arvo, barbie and a few more but this video is really gona help more.
When you said "The bush", it reminded me of another phrase I heared from your one of the videos: To beat around the bush!
@@AussieEnglishPodcast yeah,
I learned alot of new words today like cab sav, The Aussie Salute, Bail, Bathers, billabong, a billy, a bludger,etc.

Good on ya mate!
a few varied more local terms for the long drop toilets can be:
a "long drop"
"alright im going to go use the long drop"
a "pothole"/"hole"
"alright im gonna use the bloody long drop up there, leave it for a solid 10 minutes after i come back out"
another for just toilet which is shared for british can be "loo"
"im just going to the loo, so i'll be a few minutes"
I’m from Down under and u got these slang words perfectly
Idk why but that sounded cute
Grog ,always makes me fcuking laugh. Australian my ass, grog is rum and water rationed to British sailors starting in 1740.
That "brekky" part honestly cracked me up :D
I’ve heard some of these in the states. Especially bail. It’s usually used when you need to leave abruptly and not just leaving in general though.
Great video, I'm always learning differents words in English... I love Aussie one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In Canada we have a few of the same slang terms. For Goon, we call it "Cardboardeau". Thanks for this so much. I have Aussie friends and want to learn the slang to keep up.
Awesome Work you do!. Thanks a Bunch!!. Cheers!. In 1999 I spent some time on Manly beach and everybody was so nice and polite!. Even local surfers!. Unfortunately that does not always happens

It was heaps practical! i loved it! tnx a lot.
I'm an Australian teaching English in Chile, haven't been back for two and half years. Love this video, it's had me chuckling and thinking of home. Just shared it with a student heading to Oz.
Absolutely love it! We need more
Yes please
In Mexico we also use "a cold one" but in Spanish, so it's "una fría" and we also use it for beers or cold beverages 🤭
JAJAJAJA una fría
A lot of the expressions in this video are words and phrases I haven't heard since the 80s or 90s. So it's heaps nostalgic to hear those!
Good on ya mate! Very Nice. I've been teaching English in China for 16 years and when I've been asked to explain
Aussie slang I've run out of ideas. Great video, simple, comprehensive and funny.
WELL O.K.KEEP YOUR CHINESE TO YOUR SELF O.K.

Loved this video! Thank you so much!! I am learning more and more about aussies slangs. Cheers!
Arvo, Gday, brekky, barbie Etc. I didn't understand well these words at first when I talked with my husband who is from Australia. Thanks for helping me to understand him.
I hope so mate, when I get the visa first and I can travel to Australia finally .
Thanks mate for sharing your knowledge here, it's big help to settle with Aussie people's. Big thanks to you.
I’m an Address and this video really has been helpful
I like the fact that slang is used on pretty official objects here, at train stations in Adelaide there's signs telling people to not be a "fare bludger"
I saw a poster on the internet from an Australian train company that hypothetically encouraged a young man named "Jim" not to w*nk on the train because he saw a pretty girl (written in the "See John run, see Sally laugh" style used in old elementary school textbooks). It ended something like "Jim decides to get home before he has a w*nk. Good on you, Jim!"
It was very well done and I've never been sure if it was a parody or not.
LOL, I found it. It's supposedly from Queensland Rail. You can look it up with the phrase "Jim sees the beautiful girl up front."
G’day Pete. Have you ever heard the expressions “Tah” or “How’d”? I really don’t know how spell them, but I hear them a lot. However, I suppose by the context people use that “Tah” is a way to thank for something. Eg. Here is you change... Tah!
And “How’d” is used when greeting someone, that I suppose that is a short for “How are you doing?”
Are they Australian expressions? Do they really mean what I think?
Cheers!
Aussie English Yeah! I didn’t know how to spell. Haha So Howdy is a greeting similar to Hi. Right?
Dont they speak Ta in the UK too?
Dag is a great word because we don't have an equivalent here in US. we use stone cold for dead set. we use cold one all the time, an esky is a coozy, guys say bro instead of mate, (its really lame), goon is a man hired to rough up or intimidate someone. For heaps lately we are saying supes as in super, really or totally.
Thanks so much Pete! This vid was a bloody rippa!
Really love this video!! It's awesome! Thank you!

Part 2, please! Did you have in the video / don't you guys also use? : smashed... avo (avocado), mate (friend), mateship (mate status and associated honour code), take off your... thongs (female underwear or flip flops, depending on gender of person spoken to ), busting a plugger (ruining your flip flops), tradie (a crafts/trade person), usually a tradie drives around in a... UTE (a pickup truck), chuck a uey (take a u-turn, I am not kidding), roid (as in ste-roid - right), Look,... (generic opening of saying anything - does not bear any particular meaning to my understanding), Doof ("stupid" or "idiotic" in German apparently, but "rave party in the bush" in Australian English), Straya (Australia), Wogs (non-Caucasian persons), Lebs (Lebanese persons)... The last two are like... seriously?! But I have heard all of that repeatedly.
Mostly here in the USA (a few very tiny groups elsewhere in the world usually brought there by someone from the states) we have a mideval fantasy weapon combat game called Dagorhir. Clearly this is a very nerdy/dorky/silly thing to do. We gladly accept your terminology of "A dag" for this and it works internationally.
Doing a ripper job mate. Good on ya!
WINE in a aluminium bag, eg; once, keeping it cold in the river has ruined the cardboard box,is called "A BROADMEADOWS BRIEFCASE". The outer Northern suburb, is Broadmeadows, or just "Broady". V.V.Lower-Class, residents generally achieve nothin'.
Wooow, heaps useful mate! I really like these kind of videos. I would like to know more Australian vocabulary and expressions. Thanks a lot :)
Aussie English I'm from Spain. Have you ever been here? But I'm moving to Gold Coast in October. I'm really excited but scared 😱 your channel is really useful by the way 😉
Shoulda taught em what "Ranga" means lol
i'd like that all english native speakers speak like you, i could understand all that you said.
Thank you so much for this!
Haha I just came across with your channel and it's awesome mate. I've been in australia for nearly 4 years and yet keep struggling sometimes to understand the way aussies speak.
8:07. good list but DO NOT give someone anything other than a beer if you offer them a cold one. A can of cola , I don't think that will go down well
Agree
I wish I had an Australian accent, it sounds so laid back and cool. I wish I had an Aussie accent... it kinda sounds similar to how people in Boston shortens words as well. Like a Bostonian would say “pop” or “bang” and U-ey, while an aussie would say “chuck a u-ey”
Bekky and a beauty, the only slang words that i know, i didnt know those slang words are from aussie tho
Great video. Thanks for the phrases and Aussie slang !
So much informative... as a new here in australia
I already knew about Arvo, Brekky and Barbie thanks to Stray Kids
I also knew about Bogan elsewhere thanks for teaching me about the other 46 Aussie slang terms.
I absolutely forget daily that chook is slang. Reminds me of my Nan telling me to check the chooks if I wanted a googy. Love this language.
A few aussie expressions ive heard as a pom is daggy and smoko from a former work colleague who had a nickname of skippy
Ahahaha I love good ol slang. I remember one time I said "sweet as" to someone and they genuinely had no clue what I was talking about. They asked me "sweet as what? what is it sweet as?"
Thank you so much 😃! Grettings from México
As a Canadian, we share: Bail, Beauty, Brekky, A Buck, The Bush, Choc-a-Block, A Cold One, Deadset, Get Stuffed, Go Off, Good On Ya, Heaps.
Crazy! I thought those were Canadian slang :p
Gd day mate, good on ya!
I usually stuck with this kind of words,
Please keep doing
Thank you
Wow, different, cool... they make all short. i guess its FUTURE ENGLISH.
I have Aussie friend, yes sometimes i cant get what he say XD
I'll learn more about Aussie slang or accent
thank you ^^
This is why Aussie English is my fave!
I am endlessly glad saying "I am cactus" can make total sense in Aussiespeak.
So, what I’m gathering from this video is that Aussies just shorten every single word they possible can before the sentence doesn’t make sense LMAO. I love Aussies.
Australia: Esky
America: Cooler
a dunny in the bush that doesn't flush is called a long drop
In Canada a non-flushing toilet is called "an outhouse" Lol.
@@vivian4949
We used to have outhouses here in Australia many years ago 🤣🤣
Thanks mate, your video was great help, I will head to Australia next year and it`s always nice to talk like local, or at least try to.
Just one doubt, I was told danny is no longer used in sted of loo... Is that right??
dunny is seldom heard now especially among under 40s. loo is far more common. the dunny really referred to the outhouse toilet. was short for dunny can. Mate of mines father used to work on a dunny truck, wasn't allowed in the house until he'd had a cold shower outside. they were often called nightcarters.
My friend made me say “Put some Shrimp on the Barbie” randomly at lunch in a Aussie accent, I died cause I made like a 15% Aussie accent and a 20% European accent and a 50% British accent and a 15% American accent OOF
I don't entirely know why, but that phrase gets on my nerves. lol
Ky Games ikr
Nova The Wolf except they prawns in Australia rather than Shrimp.
we never use the word shrimp in Australia, they're prawns. Paul Hogan copped it over that one back in the day...
@PlanetDisco Shrimp & Prawns are different things. Are they both called Prawns in Australia?
Your video is heaps good
it's a great video for learning English, greetings from chile
that was amazing list.. will practicing use this! Thank you
