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.
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 ???
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.
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.
“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!
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.
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.
@@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 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.
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 😂
First you butter your bread, even better hot toast - then spread the vegemite on top. I forgot to take a jar with me when visiting the USA. I didn't realise how much I would miss it - THEN, a hotel we stayed at had little sachets of it. I passed up all the other items for breakfast and just savoured that toast. I will never travel without it again.
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.
Shrimp have one pair of legs that include claws at the end, but prawns have three pairs with claws. Prawns also tend to have legs that are a bit longer in relation to the size of the body than shrimp of similar size.

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.

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..😵💫
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.
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.
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..
Oooh my goodness it’s Georgia productions.. I’ve been watching her for yearsss.. she’s an amazing human.. and such a beautiful presence on TH-cam/social media
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.)
If my youth I used to play online rog's a lot, it was way to bloody easy to convince the US crowd that we had Koala Mail, if you wanted it quicker you sent it by Express, that was Roo Mail. Air Mail was by Kookaburra... every one of them bought it...
There’s a few Aussies in Indiana. We’re not there yet, but I’d be one. We drove out there from California a few years ago to check the area out, met a few in the Indy /Bloomington area. The guy in charge of accounting/billing at Indy Uni in Bloomington is an Aussie. We were originally looking at the Nashville area (the Indiana Nashville, not Tennessee)
If you live near bushland in the cities you will get more creepy crawlies like spiders and snakes but most city dwellers don't see them. You do need to shake out your shoes if you leave them outside to make sure nothing is in there. A Shrimp on the Barbie comes from an ad about Australia done by Paul Hogan who was the star of Crocodile Dundee. It was directed towards the US market hence the use of the word shrimp. We only ever call them prawns here.
In my younger days we used to be able to get shrimps but these were small (about an inch long) peeled crustaceans that had been cooked and came packed in small tins or cans from Thailand mostly or maybe some other Asian country. You could put them between two pieces of white bread with a lettuce leaf or shredded lettuce and some seafood sauce. If you wanted a seafood appetiser and there wasn't any decent prawns avaiable one could substitue these small shrimps for the prawn in a shrimp cocktail, just use more of them. A shrimp cocktail was prepared in a cocktail glass, hence the name, with the shrimps on top of a leaf of lettuce with maybe some cocktail sauce and a thin slice of lemon stuck on the rim of the glass. Very fancy when one ate it with a small cocktail fork. It had to be a small fork or else this dish, which probably cost more the rest of the meal at most restaurant's, would have been all gone in a couple normal forkfuls.
Throw a shrimp on the Barbie is a term originated by Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) in a tourist advertisement to entice Americans to come to Australia as Americans call what we call Prawns, shrimp. No Australian calls prawns shrimp.
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.
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've seen some of those TH-cam videos where Americans can't even answer basic questions about your own country, so it wouldn't surprise me if some actually believe that Aussies ride kangaroos to school 😅
G’day Ryan… you misheard her about the butter… she said you spread a little bit on after butter, not ‘like’ butter… lots of Aussies like lots of butter!! LOL And, just for the record, I’d eat a spoon full of Vegemite anytime!! 🤪 ♥️♥️🇦🇺
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)
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.
Shrimp on barbie is due to Paul Hogan and the Australian Tourism ads played in America in the 80's after he was famous for the Crocodile Dundee movies. I'm in my 30's and say G'day ALL THE TIME.. not the mate bit though.. no one says that, not even old people when it comes to city dwellers but it's pretty damn common in the outback (from personal experience). Also I HATE VEGIMITE! It tastes like a wet fart or old socks, This coming from a bloke who loves VB tells you something.
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 😂
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 :)
0:21 goddammit he got me i OI OI OI -ed out loud 😂 Edit: now that ive watched the whole thing i feel Australians need to take over Indiana with a vegemite challenge 😊
I once heard a British tourist ask a subway staff member about a sign they had seen at a bar 'No Shirt, No Thongs, No Service' she asked her 'how do they know'??
gotta love that they don't even bother saying "no shoes", just "no thongs", cause clearly thongs is the best they can hope to get onto people's feet to come in lol Make it "no wife beeter, no thongs, no service" it & would be even better :)
Fun Fact: There are roughly 2 kangaroos per human in Australia and they're breeding is out of control... New Zealand on the other hand has about 6 sheep per person
@@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
Well... "Kmart Australia Limited was created out of a joint venture between G.J Coles & Coy Limited (Coles) and the S.S.

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.
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.

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..😵💫
Your comment that too much Vegemite will turn you inside out… absolutely crack me up 😂
I do not suffer Papyrophobia ( a fear of paper), and where others have a fear of heights I have a fear of widths.
Even K Mart is surprised it exists
Vegimite the butter seasoning.
Ah Ryan only in Australia, where the crows fly backwards and the lizards carry waterbags. you will have to ask me why the crows fly backwards.
well that would explain their game against the Suns last weekend...
I was told the crows in Wagga fly backwards to keep the dust out of their eyes 🐦⬛
4:23 Ryan that's toilet roll holder is for the spare rolls the roll you use is on the wall to her right you can just see it.
The prawn on the barby was a Paul hogan thing on an Australian day add campaign with waltzing maltilda playing in the background.
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
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.
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..
Oooh my goodness it’s Georgia productions.. I’ve been watching her for yearsss.. she’s an amazing human.. and such a beautiful presence on TH-cam/social media
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.)
If my youth I used to play online rog's a lot, it was way to bloody easy to convince the US crowd that we had Koala Mail, if you wanted it quicker you sent it by Express, that was Roo Mail. Air Mail was by Kookaburra... every one of them bought it...
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 😂😂😂
There’s a few Aussies in Indiana. We’re not there yet, but I’d be one. We drove out there from California a few years ago to check the area out, met a few in the Indy /Bloomington area. The guy in charge of accounting/billing at Indy Uni in Bloomington is an Aussie. We were originally looking at the Nashville area (the Indiana Nashville, not Tennessee)
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.
This is Gold 😂 haha i feel like NT still got the slang. + the animals.
If you live near bushland in the cities you will get more creepy crawlies like spiders and snakes but most city dwellers don't see them. You do need to shake out your shoes if you leave them outside to make sure nothing is in there.
A Shrimp on the Barbie comes from an ad about Australia done by Paul Hogan who was the star of Crocodile Dundee. It was directed towards the US market hence the use of the word shrimp. We only ever call them prawns here.
FINALLY SOMEONE points out Australians (and English) dont say R's!!! Never thought it be an actual Aussie!!
Some English do, and very much so, for example in the west country region of England.
Well, this is certainly weirdly different, and hyperactive! I don't know her or her relatives! 🤨👍
In my younger days we used to be able to get shrimps but these were small (about an inch long) peeled crustaceans that had been cooked and came packed in small tins or cans from Thailand mostly or maybe some other Asian country. You could put them between two pieces of white bread with a lettuce leaf or shredded lettuce and some seafood sauce. If you wanted a seafood appetiser and there wasn't any decent prawns avaiable one could substitue these small shrimps for the prawn in a shrimp cocktail, just use more of them. A shrimp cocktail was prepared in a cocktail glass, hence the name, with the shrimps on top of a leaf of lettuce with maybe some cocktail sauce and a thin slice of lemon stuck on the rim of the glass. Very fancy when one ate it with a small cocktail fork. It had to be a small fork or else this dish, which probably cost more the rest of the meal at most restaurant's, would have been all gone in a couple normal forkfuls.
Yes, there are people who will ask for money “for the bus”.
She said you spread Vegemite on top of buttered bread
Shrimps in Australia are very small and are usually used for fishing bait
Throw a shrimp on the Barbie is a term originated by Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) in a tourist advertisement to entice Americans to come to Australia as Americans call what we call Prawns, shrimp. No Australian calls prawns shrimp.
I'll be coming to Indiana next year! Would love to share a Beer! Or as we say a BeeYaa!
My mum used to give me a spoonful of vegemite when I wanted something to eat before dinner. I still do it now occasionally. Yum.
you know that's a form of abuse right? RIGHT????
@@themudpit621 I love it
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.
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.
God damn she was hilarious and your reactions to her were absolutely fantastic.
We ride in the Kangaroo's pouch....egg ! Lol !
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 also LOVE vegemite on cold toast... used to have it on warm toast... just kinda change... older...more weary... wary?
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!
That’s where you hold extra dunny rolls
I've seen some of those TH-cam videos where Americans can't even answer basic questions about your own country, so it wouldn't surprise me if some actually believe that Aussies ride kangaroos to school 😅
G’day Ryan… you misheard her about the butter… she said you spread a little bit on after butter, not ‘like’ butter… lots of Aussies like lots of butter!! LOL
And, just for the record, I’d eat a spoon full of Vegemite anytime!! 🤪 ♥️♥️🇦🇺
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)
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.
As an Aussie I recommend watching more of her vidoes 😂
As an Aussie, I respectfully disagree.
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!
Typical Aussie Sheila, giday mate, Hope you had a gr8 weekend. Always happy to see u.
Shrimp on barbie is due to Paul Hogan and the Australian Tourism ads played in America in the 80's after he was famous for the Crocodile Dundee movies. I'm in my 30's and say G'day ALL THE TIME.. not the mate bit though.. no one says that, not even old people when it comes to city dwellers but it's pretty damn common in the outback (from personal experience). Also I HATE VEGIMITE! It tastes like a wet fart or old socks, This coming from a bloke who loves VB tells you something.
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 😂
The Aussie Kmart isn't the same company as the American Kmart was, also Aussie Target is not part of the American Target.
Oi oi oi🎉 and yeah, people will ask for cash for the bus or a spare cigarette 😂
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😂
0:21 goddammit he got me i OI OI OI -ed out loud 😂
Edit: now that ive watched the whole thing i feel Australians need to take over Indiana with a vegemite challenge 😊
Well if we tell an American we ride kangaroos, they believe it.
That cinnamon challenge is dangerous a little girl in the states asphyxiated after getting into the cinnamon in the pantry!
I once heard a British tourist ask a subway staff member about a sign they had seen at a bar 'No Shirt, No Thongs, No Service' she asked her 'how do they know'??
gotta love that they don't even bother saying "no shoes", just "no thongs", cause clearly thongs is the best they can hope to get onto people's feet to come in lol
Make it "no wife beeter, no thongs, no service" it & would be even better :)
Fun Fact: There are roughly 2 kangaroos per human in Australia and they're breeding is out of control... New Zealand on the other hand has about 6 sheep per person
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.
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 😜
You need to come to Australia!!!!!!
She’s very keen😆
I must say, as a german i haven't even really understood what was most of the things about, but the girl was kinda funny 😄😄
It's about time you came to Australia......I challenge you to come here, and you'll meet lots of fair dinkum Aussies
6:10 blame Paul Hogan’s tourism ads for the US tv market during the ‘80s….
I may be odd... i often grab a teaspoon of vegemite..... great snack :)
Oath. Love it
The odd ones are the ones that don't or haven't used it that way as a snack!
We're all goin oi, oi, oi.
I know I did 🤣😂
Yeah, nah, I challenge anyone to a Vegemite taste test. By the way, love Georgias vids, good pick, quintessential Aussie
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.
