    Im in Sth Australia and the "he's blotto" is certainly used here in the country area I grew up in and still is today. The "rack off" I hear it more used in the younger generations then the older ones. I'd more so use "bugger off"

    I have stumbled on your videos late in the day, and I just love them. On watching this one a sense of generational difference came upon me. I was your age back in the 1970s and nearly all of these expressions were in common use in Australia back then (the exception being to 'rage", which I associate with the 1980s - and, it was about then that the ABC produced an all night music show over the weekends called 'Rage'). Nearly all of these expressions I also associate with going to and having conversations with others in the pub (aka the 'rubbity' aka the hotel), with the exception of 'have a go you mug" (rather then 'give it go') which was commonly yelled out at the cricket especially at the Poms (the English). I love your work, but, dude, is your generation not a bit susceptible to the incursion of American English?

    • @DavidB5501
      @DavidB5501 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, I'm sure he made a lot of them up, but it's difficult for a non-Aussie to be sure! I just found a relevant article here: www.the-tls.co.uk/private-eye-at-the-va-and-in-the-tls/ A few more I can remember are 'don't come the raw prawn' (which I think is genuine), 'one-eyed trouser snake', and 'choking a d**kie' (also genuine).

    • @gregsmith4102
      @gregsmith4102 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes he made them up, but the magic of Barry McKenzie/Barry Humphrey's is that every Australian could see it as an Australian phrase. Somehow it tapped into the Australian psyche. We all laughed at it and saw it as sticking the middle finger up at snooty Poms.

    Question: May I ask, is the word "wog" used in a friendly manner in Australia? An Australian on another vlog says it is not a bad word to use describing average everyday people. In the USA it is a fairly unknown archaic word, that is, it is not used at all in day to day conversations, however, in the UK it is an extremely derogatory slur. So what say you in Australia?

      Not so simple. It depends on context and circumstances. Said in anger it is offensive. Said about or to a friend it simply means she/he comes from another (probably not English-speaking) country. Use with care and do not rush to assume malice.
      Australians speak Australian English. It is not the same as English English. There is a level of subtlety that requires thought.

    • @Rob749s
      @Rob749s 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If a wombat is facing south, his buttocks is facing north, therefore it's "face like a wombat's arse". Putting a simple riddle in an insult generally makes it more fun. There's also "Face like a dropped meat pie", as well as many other variations.

    oooooh I like the vid, but I find it a bit subjective. Different age classes use slang differently, and I really can only speak for Queenslanders. This is what I hear in Queensland on a spectrum of Never - Rarely - Sometimes - Usually - Always:
    G'day mate
    Kids and young adults: Absolutely never
    Middle age: Rarely
    Old people: Sometimes
    He's blotto
    Everyone: Absolutely never
    Ya lil' rippa!
    Kids and young adults: Always
    Middle age: Usually
    Old people: Rarely
    Rack/buzz/bugger off
    Everyone: Always
    Fair dinkum
    Kids and young adults: Rarely
    Middle age: Rarely
    Old people: Sometimes
    Pull ya head in
    Kids and young adults: Usually
    Middle age: Sometimes
    Old people: Never
    Wanna rage
    Everyone: Absolutely never
    Bloody oath
    Kids and young adults: Always
    Middle age: Always
    Old people: Never
    Your shout ('shout'ing in general)
    Everyone: Always
    Go on
    Everyone: Always, but not in that context; 'go on' usually means 'keep explaining'
    You pong
    Kids and young adults: Rarely
    Middle age: Usually
    Old people: Sometimes
    Whatcha want/whadayawant?
    Everyone: Always
    Have a chunder
    Everyone: Absolutely never. We say barf, vom, spew or throw up.
    Give it a [crack] ya mug
    Kids and young adults: Always. fyi 'mug' means wimp.
    Middle age: Always
    Old people: Rarely

    Oi, mate~may I ask if whatdayawant is a little bit offensive way to say this? I learnt English in China, and teachers told me not to say “ what do you want “ bcz it’s rude. Is it?

      @tesselllation 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah it is. But you can use it if someone already betrayed or offended you and comes back to you for something .

    i'm bloody oath! ya blue, drunka by wata, these and others slangs are very regional. means, ya blue = i'm ready to fight, drunka by wata = drink beer like as water. i said beer, is not beer, it's amba licoa. some slangs from south of sydney, very very regional

    Drongo has nothing to do with being dimwitted or slow. It's about actions. If your actions can be seen to be dimwitted rather than actually being dimwitted, then you're a drongo. At the same time, it's been years since I heard this one.

    Many of these I haven't heard for about 40 years.
    Like a lot of "Aussie slang" videos, not you, they seem to be pushing stuff that went out when I was a kid, ie, in the 70's.

    Rage? WTF?!! It's going out 'Raging / Partying'...As I said earlier, it's older slang from the 90's....
