Plenty of Australians still say g'day, it's just not so common to team it up with the word mate. "G'day owyagoin" is much more common. I occasionally say, "G'day gorgeous" when greeting certain friends that may need a bit of a self-esteem boost.
Yeh same, don’t use it much really for myself, but I don’t hear it much either haha 😂 yes prawns are prawns not lobster or anything else haha 😂 we don’t say anything about using on the bbq haha
I say "g'day" more to passing strangers and I usually say "her bro" to friends. Or something similar
I also pretend to be 100% more Australian when I'm overseas. In Fiji I'm the emu racing champion and have been for 10 years or more.
100% mate
Hi mate/matey. I personally use Hey Darl a lot but g’day, very seldom
I find it rather sad that we are losing our G'day mate slang we are going down the American line and saying "Hey" I am still a G'day mate how ya goin Aussie. This girl was funny as though ... to use some of her lingo i would say she was like funny and I was like laughing and Ryan was like confused and like like like u know like ???
for starters, shrimp have nippers and usually found in freshwater....prawns dont have nippers which is why they are PRAWNS!
If they're in fresh then they're still not shrimp, they're Yabbies.
Shrimp are what Americans call prawns. The ‘throw another shrimp on the barbie’ comes from a tourism ad played in the USA done by Paul Hogan after Crocodile Dundee became popular. The freshwater ones, as Rob said, are yabbies.
@@thebook1889 There are freshwater shrimp as well as yabbies.
Don't come the raw prawn with me!
@@jessicascoullar3737after my American niece came to Australia she understood why they call prawns shrimp in the USA - they’re literally shrimps (tiny) compared to ours 👍
I was thinking that I know plenty of people that say "G'day Mate", then I remembered that I'm a 50 year old Sheila. 😅
This 50yo bloke does too. :)
The r thing is known as non-rhotic as opposed to rhotic English accents. Most of the UK is non-rhotic as well as Australia, and most of the USA is rhotic.
A lot of far Sth Island New Zealand roll their Rs.
The vertical toilet roll holder is for the spare rolls. No need to call out for one!
10 years ago I told an American we close the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 12am to let the kangaroos cross the bridge actually fell for it
that's a good one lol
I once had an American ask me if giraffe's often stuck their heads into our upstairs windows....wrong continent.
should have told them "na mate, not since the war, they own the houses now & we have to peak inside - and btw, we call our giraffes "emus""
"Shrimp on the Barbie" was created many years back with Paul Hogan(comedian) by Tourism Australia to play on tv in America
There is approximately 42-43 million Kangaroos in Australia, every year about 1.5 million are processed for the commercial trade (pet food, restaurant trade, personal note 'Roo meat tastes like cr@p) . FUN FACT: If conditions are not right i.e drought, the female kangaroo will put her fetus into hibernation until conditions improve before allowing it to be borne.
And in good times they can raise three joeys simultaneously - one out of the pouch but still needing milk, one in the pouch, and one in the womb. They can produce three different types of milk, one for each stage.
It's not that kanga tastes bad... it's just possum tastes better.
And she can choose the sex of her joey, usually having females first so they can help raise the males later
You can't estimate kangaroo numbers like that. They boom and bust too much for the reasons you mention (conditions varying). It's only ever going to be a very rough estimate. Also, they are delicious, nutritious, and good for the Australian environment. Eat up.
@@themudpit621 Unfortunately Mudpit your taste buds have been eroded, I grew up in Central western Queensland, and we had Kangaroo at least once a week...it is an acquired taste to put it politely ..personally I think it tastes like cr@p..
I have never seen this chic before but i will be looking up more of her videos as it was just cracking me up😂😂😂
She made me puke.
Shrimp on the barbecue was from an old ad to try and get people to Australia. Don’t know why an Aussie used the word shrimp.
26 and I still say gday mate all the time. Honestly didn’t realise till a friend pointed it out to me.
G’day is still said … what is she on ? Guess her little social circle doesn’t .
I love Vegemite can’t have toast without it .
I do not suffer Papyrophobia ( a fear of paper), and where others have a fear of heights I have a fear of widths.
Vegemite (a lot) on toast with a lot of butter so it all mixes together is the best way to have Vegemite in my humble opinion.
yeah na, fresh bread with lots of butter, cheese optional...
@@Bellas1717 yes to both of those
Crumpets are great with Vegemite. And a slice of cheese on top
I once had someone ask me for change for the bus. I told her I had none. She then asked for $10 for a taxi !😂
Paul Hogan said the words "shrimp on the barbie" in an advertising campaign (from memory by the Australian Tourism Board) *in America, for Americans*. We don't say "I'll throw another shrimp on the barbie." We don't say "I'll throw another prawn on the barbie." We do call those delicious crustaceans PRAWNS though. Cheers. (We do have shrimps but that's a whole nother issue.)
Your comment that too much Vegemite will turn you inside out… absolutely crack me up 😂
The prawn on the barby was a Paul hogan thing on an Australian day add campaign with waltzing maltilda playing in the background.
Even K Mart is surprised it exists
This is Gold 😂 haha i feel like NT still got the slang. + the animals.
8:38 It is, in fact, a challenge. If you can eat a heaped table spoon full of Vegemite without pulling a face or even blinking, you can consider yourself an honourary Aussie. I have witnessed exactly one American pull this off. Could you be next, Ryan?
I remember a merry go round once as a kid that had an Aussie theme to it, including joeys with pouches for little kids to sit in. Can't remember where it was now, but stuff like that would no doubt help build the image that we ride roos to school. Inside the pouch seems to be the most common claim as to how we ride. Skippy using her pouch to store all sorts of interesting things in no doubt helped birth the legend too. People just get confused on sizing, otherwise, who knows, maybe it might be viable :)
Be a pretty bumpy ride😂
If you listen instead of talking over what’s being said… you would have heard her explain how to use Vegemite… a thin scrape on thick butter… on toast or bread or biscuit or whatever… and organic butter is actually healthy..😵💫
The kangaroos to school thing started in the 1960s when schools on both sides of the Pacific encouraged pen pal friendships. My wife had one in PA. While Charlene never asked if my wife rode a kangaroo, there were enough American kids who did for it become a standing joke. Adult Americans of the era were more likely to express surprise when getting off the plane in Sydney that there were no roos hopping about the airport. Americans generally have more knowledge of the world these days because people travel more than they did in the 1960s. Those Americans who are really stupid to not limit their stupidity to Australia.. They are the same ones who cannot name the US capital city.
More sheep than people is our bro's in NZ, Australia has more kangaroos LOL
Whilst I my self promote the sheep stereotypes for NZ, Australia has 79.5 million head of sheep, so 3 times the human population.
and twice the number of kangaroos as people, so as Percy Phelps says, more sheep.
we also have more flies than any other living thing lol!
Dunny Budgie- a huge toilet dwelling blow fly
A wombat- bloke who eats roots shoots and leaves
problem with the wombat is apparently "root" doesn't have the same meaning outside Australia! I only learnt that recently, I thought it was universal!
As a kid the amount of times we'd burst into fits of laughter when someone said " I'm rooting for you" was countless . I feel that because of social media everyone is so generic in their speech. We're losing local idioms
We ride in the Kangaroo's pouch....egg ! Lol !
That cinnamon challenge is dangerous a little girl in the states asphyxiated after getting into the cinnamon in the pantry!
Well if we tell an American we ride kangaroos, they believe it.
Originally KMart Australia was a joint venture between Kresges, the US KMart owners, and one of our biggest retailers, Coles, and it first opened in 1969.
But over the years, Coles bought out Kresges shares, and it has now been simply an Australian company for many years. I say "g'day" a lot, but only ever use "mate" if I'm patronising an old man, or insulting someone for doing something stupid, as in "Oh, Mate!" accompanied by a groan, or having a go at someone who's up to something shifty or annoying, as in , "You right, mate?" or maybe "Oh, Mate!" as an exclamation of disbelief to a friend. It's used, but not often.
I think you were thinking of New Zealand on the sheep comment did you know velcro gloves are one of NZ's best selling products ha joke to all my NZ mates 😂
Re Vegemite and butter, she said spread the Vegemite on after butter, which is true.
I feel she done really good at dispelling the myths, but missed some of the context/nuance.
Fun fact. We have kangaroos living in the middle of my university campus. The University of the Sunshine Coast.
Fairy bread is for
for small kids birthday parties.
Kmart Australia has nothing to do with Kmart America, (never has), they’re two different companies.
Well... "Kmart Australia Limited was created out of a joint venture between G.J Coles & Coy Limited (Coles) and the S.S. Kresge Company which was the company that operated Kmart stores in the United States. Kresge owned 51% of the common stock in the company and Coles owned the remaining 49%; together they began to develop Kmart stores in Australia in 1968.[2]". So there IS a connection.
@@vtbn53 Thank you for correcting me 😜
okay as someone who lives in south australia i can confidently say that i have only seen 1 single wild snake in my entire life and it wasnt even in urban areas it was in a rural town, however spiders are very common ngl and yes your toilet is always occupied but unless you are outside or in your attic or garage your never gonna really come accross any dangerous ones like red backs (also we barely ever use gday, arvo, and stuff like that)
She doesn't need any more encouraging, and a lot less attention.
You need to come to Australia!!!!!!
It's about time you came to Australia......I challenge you to come here, and you'll meet lots of fair dinkum Aussies
some people do eat vegemite on toast without butter, it is just personal preference.
I serve vegemite to my foreign friends as a funny trick.🤣The look on their faces is priceless.(i do explain i wouldn't eat it either)😉
Oh wow. That is the meanest, and most Australian thing to do. I don't eat that rubbish either!
It's said every day!
At minute 7:45 that’s not a surf board that’s a stand up paddle board ( a sup)
I like the fact she thought some say "Good day mate" to tease Aussies as a stereotype but yet she sats "Good day mate" when she was on the kangaroo. As well as multiple times in the video. So it IS true! And isnt it a simple greeting? 🤷♀️
It's G'day mate, please get it right LOL
She was acting the stereotype, not talking as herself.
@@vtbn53 oh please! Thats how you treat a non Aussie? Well. Well. Showing who you are. Gtfooh
@@Bellas1717 Im not so sure. Id have to watch it again
Yeah, nah, I challenge anyone to a Vegemite taste test. By the way, love Georgias vids, good pick, quintessential Aussie
Our whole family don't eat vegimite - how un-Australian of us! lol
Mix a Tablespoon of Vegemite and the same of Kayine Pepper... try eating that without throwing a Facial Fit! 🤪
Oi oi oi🎉 and yeah, people will ask for cash for the bus or a spare cigarette 😂
We're all goin oi, oi, oi.
I know I did 🤣😂
in Aus it aint the animals you gotta worry about.. it's the people, some are nuckin futs
Too much Vegemite will give you thrush in your mouth, but it is good on mouth sores
hi pleased to meet you im Tynell im Australian born and raised and i don't like vegemite
I live in a rural area I hear a lot of g’day ect
Ryan, rewatch it straight through; she says "...after butter" rather than what you think you heard (because you paused and missed it), "like butter" which is incorrect.
I eat Vegemite with a spoon. Have done for more than 50 years. Kids do it all the time
Backpacking around the US a few years ago and I carried Vegemite everywhere (an essential just like clean knickers) and would eat it with a spoon - the strange looks I got 😆
You gotta try the weetbix challenge. You need to put an entire weetbix in your mouth. Do it with friends. Tip - do not inhale once it starts to break up as you will choke. Then you cannot have any liquid of any kind. Have fun.
Trickiest biscuits are weetbix with or without butter and jam or Vegemite on top
True blue mate skippy use to give a lift to school when he wasn't drunk.😂😅
Prawn
Prawns are different from shrimp
Yeah Ryan more butter the better with Vegemite
Prawns and Shrimp are very similar, but two different species of crustacean. Americans call both Shrimp....wrong!!!!
Shrimp is a short person
I dont think she's eating vegemite. I think it's promite hahaha
Yep definitely looked like promite to me as well.
EGG......We ride in kangaroos pouches ... ptf, duh. CrankyGranny Western Australia
The shrimp on the bargie thing is from an old advertisement by Paul Hogan for the American Audience that we wanted to entice to become tourists here. There are some advantages to being over 50 years old.
This is 100% correct. I believe America at that time called Prawns, shrimp
Ahh Hoges as we called him. Paul Hogan Show was great but politically incorrect these days. It’s when Australians used to take the piss out of ourselves.
I’m 46 and say gday all the time. The young lady reminds me of the kids I went to school with that got sugar highs after eating green ants bums
😂 True, that.
“G’day mate” is a standard part of my vernacular, so I started to think Georgia is one of these young people trying to pretend Australia isn’t Australia out of some sense of youthful embarrassment.
But then I remembered, I am a 50yr old male so maybe she has a point 😏🤷🏼♂️
I can't use it in my IT profession. It comes off as Bogan. I've had to change my whole vernacular from when I grew up, to suite foreigners and other people. Mainly because they couldn't understand me. When I work overseas I have to use stupid words like 'sidewalk' because a footpath is apparently to difficult, or unfamiliar to understand!
I'm from a regional area of Queensland. EVERYONE says G'day mate.
Same when I lived in rural WA
Same regional NSW 🤣
Or urban NT
AGREED!!!!!!
Most of us Australians are not like her, fortunately.
Yep
I reckon she’s actually a kiwi 😂
FYI Georgia is Ozzie from Queensland ( I believe) She also has adhd, maybe you shouldn’t judge
@@kyliegray7188 I didn’t see anyone judging …..
@@kyliegray7188 whos judging
"G'day mate" and "fair dinkum" are definitely more an older bloke thing and also a country thing rather than a city thing
Not true.
Excluding millennial and gen Z guys, if you could even call them guys, most other guys say g'day mate. Especially tradies and yeah older blokes.
Yeah , I am on the Mid North Coast and we say G'day, but the blow ins from the city are always surprised by it.
I hear a lot of people say gday mate, never heard anyone under 70 say “fair dinkum” though 😂
@@somerandom138 Fair dinkum????? I do & I'm nowhere near 70!
Ryan, it's about taking the piss out of ourselves and life. I keep saying it, life is too serious to be serious.
Someone start a GoFundMe so Ryan can come to OZ and meet a real dinky di Aussie 😘😘😘
So long as he goes to at least one city, one regional country town (about 7000 people size), and the outback. Each is so different
Ok, she did my head in. What is she on 😂
PS: we do have toilet brushes that you described, and all different kinds of toilet roll holders 😜
yes we have them, but they're pretty uncommon, probably relating to our lower water level, so different cleaning needs compared to the US
& according to another comment, she apparently has ADHD, so nothing is what she is probably on :) If she took some amphetamines, she'd be calm as :)
@@mehere8038 IF she has ADHD
@@charliejb1747 apparently the info comes from her, that she's open about her diagnoses in her videos. Not just someone saying she thinks she has ADHD from watching her :)
This girl is as Crazy as a cut Snake.
My sentiments entirely!
A Roo short in the top paddock for sure.
She has ADHD.
Think she was talking about her circle of friends. Australia is fairly diverse so you will find alot of what she was saying is not necessarily the case for others. Their is a video on YT from a speach pathologist who sums up the different types of Aussie accents and cultural types. Basically there is many factors at play that unless you're an Aussie, it would be hard to notice. There is three distinct overall tones conmanly used (Posh, General and Broad). Then the accent also varies slightly from state to state just like America. There is also a difference in terminologies used depending on the demographic (Rich, Mid Wealth and Low Income). To be frank, it's kind of annoying when people speak on the behalf of others, as we all don't sit in the same boat.
Our Kmart is not your Kmart, just like our Wendy’s is not your Wendy’s.
Well... "Kmart Australia Limited was created out of a joint venture between G.J Coles & Coy Limited (Coles) and the S.S. Kresge Company which was the company that operated Kmart stores in the United States. Kresge owned 51% of the common stock in the company and Coles owned the remaining 49%; together they began to develop Kmart stores in Australia in 1968.[2]". But in principle I suppose you are correct.
@@vtbn53 Kmart reinvented itself in 2010, under a new (ex-Macdonald's) CEO, to combat drastic sales drops, and to better cater to the Australian market. They have had only the name in common with Kmart USA for 13 years now. So Jeni10 is correct in principle and in reality.
WTF? 🤪 I went back to the beginning of Ryan's channel and I smiled a lot, observing the transition from sport to Australian culture. 😁😁
"I don't think you guys are going around asking for money for the bus" this actually happened to me once. I was waiting for the bus, when this guy came up to me and asked me for some extra money for the bus. he was 20c short, so I gave it to him. he seemed pretty apologetic about asking though, so maybe this isn't common.
Really? It's pretty common here; I do tend to live in an area that has a high number of bogans and fringe dwellers though.
It's was much more common in Sydney when I lived there than in Brisbane (haven't been asked this in many years), the part with the beer bottle is because most of the time people asking are homeless (by lifestyle choices) and just want more money for booze or drugs. I used to say "I don't have cash money but I'll buy the ticket for you with my card" and they would usually respond with "oh man you know what I really mean" Of course I did, I'm not funding other peoples addictions but I didn't want to leave someone stranded if they were in genuine need.
Homeless & drug addicts ask for bus & train spare change ALL THE TIME in Australia especially if you’re around a low socioeconomic area. They always say “Got any spare change?”. And I tell them “ There’s no such thing as spare change”, just like there is no such thing as a “SPARE CIGARETTE”, which they ask for constantly. It gets to a point where you have to hide things from people so they don’t think you have a whole lot. Some Aussies have absolutely no shame & have more front than a Rhinosaurus.Give them an inch & they’ll take a mile. We have a saying for people in Australia who are very tight with their money but have no problem taking from others. We call them SCABS, as in you’re a bloody scab aren’t ya,always forgetting to buy a round of beer when it’s obviously their turn. Geez I hate SCABS!!!
I had to ask for money for the train once, just cos I genuinely was short a bit of change. This was back in the early 2000s when most train stations still had no card readers or even something to take notes 😂
@@daveamies5031 Not all homeless people are so from lifestyle choice.
I did meet some Australian sailors in my younger days , when they scored our pub for a couple of weeks ,they were likable and a lot more outgoing than us reserved Brits . Doesn't look like much has changed , a nice fun video .
Our youngens seem to be fine with losing our language :(((
Language always changes, it's entirely malleable, transitory, and temporary. Deal with it my friend.
Seriously the amount of Aussie’s making videos of eating Vegemite of a spoon and what they are eating is actually promite (which is sweeter) is hilarious.
To the non-aussies out there, Vegemite has a YELLOW lid, Promite has a RED lid. Even a Vegemite lover would not eat big spoons of Vegemite at a time maybe a teaspoon and lick it maybe!!!
I have gotten a teaspoon and licked it before. I tried just licking it off then instantly put it back on the spoon lol
I also noticed it was Promite she ate.
I have actually seen someone eat a rather full dessert spoon of vegemite! He was in his teens at the time so it may have just been a joke but I don't think it was!
Well, this is certainly weirdly different, and hyperactive! I don't know her or her relatives! 🤨👍
She was crazy 😂😂 like how she doesn’t know where the saying shrimp on the barbie comes from. If your doing these Aussie videos u should know by now.
She has ADHD firstly and secondly she wasn't alive when the Paul Hogan tourism ads were on telly like 35yrs ago, she is obviously a teenager so how would she?
@@unoriginalsyn what’s adhd got to do with it I’m talking about the knife. There’s a kids facts on shrimp on the barbie & if she knows as much as she did she’s probably just taking the piss. They only stopped that campaign in early 2000’s. 01-02. Touchy af
She's young
Least I don't feel the need to pick on kids to make myself feel important 👍
@@unoriginalsyn hahaha 👌 if you think that’s picking on a kid you don’t know what is outside in the real world. I wasn’t even doing that you’re just causing problems so maybe grow up a little hun. Bye 👋
Im getting big gen Z vibes from both information and looks. As a gen Y/Millennial, no body think's this anymore.
Not sure if she has ADHD and forgot to take medication, or doesn't have ADHD and took ADHD medication.
@@Platypus333 lmao its just someone being energetic for a yt video. stop reading so much into it. Also you're completely wrong on the whole "no-one thinks like this anymore" part cuz from this vid she seems like the most typical aussie you can meet--and by typical I mean genuine and accurate to the average aussie
@@anadoesthings2999 lmao.. maybe in your circle. You are wrong and your projection is off the charts. Lol😅
@@Platypus333 She has ADHD; she's quite open about it on her channel.
Her video is too annoying to watch. See you next time Ryan.
She’s off her head. Not sure what part of Australia she is in but half of what she saying is wrong🤣🤣
That video was made 6 years ago, I hope she has calmed down a bit now. Too much energy and over the top for me.
G'day mate is more an country thing. Lots of age groups say it where I'm from and we cook on the BBQ all the time.
Hard to watch. Too much energy for me.
Vegimite the butter seasoning.
This girl is embarrassing...most Australians DON'T acted like her...🙈
Georgia is bloody hilarious 😂 though I did stop watching her vids for a while because I'm a Gen Xer and have no idea what she's talking about half the time 😅 Yes Ryan, we do occasionally cook prawns on the barbie, but mostly we buy them already cooked and eat them chilled. So delicious 😊 No idea if there are more kangaroos than ppl in Australia, but there are a helluva lot, so that's why some of them end up as cuts of meat on supermarket shelves.
I still say "G'daymateowyahgoin," every day to my co-workers. For reference, I work for BHP in a corporate office.
"Have you got any money for the bus, mate?" Plenty of variations of that used by beggars - and they are everywhere.
Yes and "bus" is a euphemism for "grog and smokes"
The Aussie Kmart isn't the same company as the American Kmart was, also Aussie Target is not part of the American Target.
I don’t know about riding a kangaroo, but my son once asked me if I rode a dinosaur 😂😂😂.
Possibly just checking how OLD you are?
@@nswinoz3302 I’m not that bloody old 😂😂😂
She has a jar of promite not vegemite
Very funny look at ourselves and how we are perceived. This year is the 100th anniversary of vegemite. They are remaking the vegemite kids commercial from the 1950's. You might want to check out what is planned.
That energy is everything i wish i had!
