Now I know what Felix and Chan meant when they were talking about barbies

The longer it takes Australians to say something, the chances of swallowing a fly gets higher

aussies just have the cutest accent and form of words i ever heard

I’m surprised I’ve been using Australian slangs without realizing it.

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

After this lesson I m aussie now.

“Budgie smuggler” has got to be my favorite Aussie slang term. It reminds me of our “banana hammock” in America, but typically more accurate.

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🤙👌

Stray kids aussie line inspired me to came here ㅠ ㅠ

Damn Aussies...have created a whole new language 👍😁

"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!

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’m an Aussie and I have to admit our slang is pretty funny

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.

WHAT YOU GONNA HAVE IN THE ARVO

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 👍

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 😂

Came here because of Stray kids. Also wanna be an aussie for a day :D

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.

Before watching: Bro After watching: M8

"The bottl-o's chock-a-block righ now. Looks like it's goin' off in there."

one of the reason I came here because of Stray Kids aussie line😂 Bang Chan and Felix😍❤🤘

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 🤭

My company just re-org and I now have many AU colleagues. Thanks for making these videos and I guess I will repeatedly watch it and learn it.

I would have liked to see your video before arriving in Brisbane! One and a half years struggling with Aussie accent :)

I’m from Down under and u got these slang words perfectly

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!

You're a good teacher. I like how you're repeating words and giving good examples.

That "brekky" part honestly cracked me up :D

Good on ya Pete for this episode. I learnt heaps of slangs in this episode. I can admit it was one of the comprehensive ones about Aussie slangs.

I love how loads of these are just British slang terms said in an Aussie accent. Cracking stuff.

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"

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!

Came here because of Stray Kids Chan and Felix

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!

Few more things I heard at my workplace You're a gem Getting ducks in a line Copped it

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.

Been using quite a few of these for quite some time now. Always used bail, beauty, choc-o--bloc, and still watching video.

I litterally became an aussie boo because of the aussie lines in kpop😂

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!

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.

As an Aussie, I didn’t realise how many slangs non-Aussies wouldn’t understand. The chock-a-block slang I would normally say “chockas”... you know how we like to shorten words over here 😆

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

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.

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.

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"

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....

Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Visiting Gold Coast in October. Don't want to sound too much like a tourist from the States

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?"

so "cactus" is kind of like the slang "rinsed" then? (tired/broken) when someone gets punched in the face, and gets knocked out, he got rinsed. when you hate a song because you heard it too often, the song is rinsed. when you break something, it's rinsed

G'day Pete. My example sentence is; Learning Aussie slang is defo hard yakka but it is fun experience. Catch ya later!!!

I am endlessly glad saying "I am cactus" can make total sense in Aussiespeak.

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'.

Absolutely love it! We need more

you should have taught people the alternate use of billy. i rarely hear it used referring to teapots haha

Great video, I'm always learning differents words in English... I love Aussie one. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It was heaps practical! i loved it! tnx a lot.

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.

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.

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

Doing a ripper job mate. Good on ya!

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.

I'm from NZ, and I was thinking, the only time I've heard of booze buses, is when I've seen booze buses, where they drive around to different pubs around the country and drink

Loved this video! Thank you so much!! I am learning more and more about aussies slangs. Cheers!

Good to know some Aussie words.

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

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

Do thank’s, now when I go to Australian maybe I can understand

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

Fair dinkum mate. Really like these videos about Australian slangs, sayings and culture. Thanks heaps.

This is why Aussie English is my fave!

I love how he mentions bear and pulls up an image of Virgil's (a soda brand).

Quarantine's gotten to me and now I, a half Aussie who's never had an Aussie accent, decided to learn the slang oh goodness

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

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. Not The Sharpest Knife In The Draw. Wouldn't Shout If A Shark Bit Him. Brickie's Crack. Wog. Rock And Roll. Eskimo's Kiss. Dog's Body. Gunyah. Never Never. Dunny Man. Sheep Shager. No Hoper. Crow Eaters. Banana Benders. Sand Gropers. Cock Roachers. Apple Eaters. The Box. The Flicks. Flannel. Dad And Dave. The Pictures. Noggin. Snout. Onkaprinkas. Butcher's Hook. Fruit Loop. Flat Out Like A Lizard Drinking. Hungry As A Horse. Noah's Ark. To name a few.

Wooow, heaps useful mate! I really like these kind of videos. I would like to know more Australian vocabulary and expressions. Thanks a lot :)

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 ^^

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.

Thanks for your useful video. Love the way you explain every single word.

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”

A few aussie expressions ive heard as a pom is daggy and smoko from a former work colleague who had a nickname of skippy

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,

I knew more of the expressions than I thought, got them mostly from TV, I've never met an Australian person before.

Thanks mate for sharing your knowledge here, it's big help to settle with Aussie people's. Big thanks to you.

Really love this video!! It's awesome! Thank you!

Thanks so much Pete! This vid was a bloody rippa!

a dunny in the bush that doesn't flush is called a long drop

Budge smugglers is hilarious! This was entertaining! And I just visited Australia over the Crissie holidayz. muaha

now i can finally speak aussie english btw 85.2k subs gr8 vid and content good on ya sir!

i'd like that all english native speakers speak like you, i could understand all that you said.

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.

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

Shoulda taught em what "Ranga" means lol

G’day Pete how’s it going Mate? I love Aussie slang and want to learn more! Steve Irwin was a fair Dublin legend, too bad we lost him so soon!

Thank you so much 😃! Grettings from México

Love the enthusiasm
