@@JamesPrime1 haha, the way you spelt the last sentence is spot on. I can hear it :) It's a nice place. It's clean and the people are friendly. It just has this weird kind of vibe that drains you of energy and motivation.
Dunny is an abbreviation. It has its roots in cockney rhyming slang. Dunedoo is a town and rhymes with poo, and in typical Aussie style is shortened to dunny. A lot of Aussie slang developed this way.
@@elizabethscott7660 'Dunny' is an Australian expression for an outside toilet or outhouse. It comes from the British word 'dunnekin', meaning 'dung-house'
In Crocodile Dundee movie Paul Hogan tells someone "some nitwit put two dunnys in here" He was in a bathroom in a hotel in New York City looking at a toilet and a bidet .
From the young island country in the middle of three oceans, that brought the world Wifi, the clothesline, Google maps, the electronic pacemaker, polymer bank notes and the electric drill, I just want to say our culture of abbreviating absolutely everything brought the world the word... *S E L F I E* You're welcome.
cochlear implant . lawn mower , black box flight recorders, inflatable slide and life raft, racecam for motor racing , the electric drill to name a couple more
Thank you! Yea all the people I end up talking to just happen to be really cool about it. I guess its because the ones who say yes and are willing to go on camera and usually a bit more open to the ones who say no. I could be wrong, but that might have something to do with it.
@@annasame7395 really in Sydney at like 10/11pm on a weekend w the boys or the girls we always say "do youse wanna go 4 a maccas run? 😭💀😭 sometimes we just look at them and say maccas run? 😂😭
I don't know why people think Adelaide is boring. Actually take some indicative and find things to do. Adelaide is the festive state. Go during the fringe because there is so much shit on then, go visit the wineries, kangaroo island. And honestly it's a nice city to settle down in. It's not so hectic too.
We'll see you in the arvo, I'm Aussie and I use that alot. And Servo, Ambo, Doco. And the yummy Maccas and breakie I use all these. Noone really days Dunny anymore
The little house in the back yard containing a wooden box, hole in top and a metal bucket to shit into. The dunny man would come once a week to replace full one with an empty one. And a place you dreaded having to go at night coz you were scared of the dark.
Great video mate. I'm an Australian. I use all the slang words that you covered in your video except for dunny. Dunny isn't used as much in the major cities anymore. Younger Australians tend to use the word bathroom now while older people still say toilet. Another extremely common slang word is servo which means service station (gas station). Yep we all say maccas a lot. The Adelaide accent is probably a little more refined than the Melbourne accent is where I am from. The accent in the outback (rural area) is very heavy and probably harder to understand.
As an Australian myself, I feel like we as a country and a culture are often overlooked and our culture/country should have a broader outreach to the rest of the world because videos like this show me that people are very unaware of how we are as a country and culture.
What city are you in here? It looks really nice! I love the chill vibe that you have in your videos too. And thank you also for choosing Aussie slang that genuinely is everyday vocab!
Super happy to hear you liked it Katherine! I find myself using Aussie slang from time to time. I guess it’s rubbed off on me and it’s here to stay lol. Thanks for that feedback I appreciate it 🙏🏽This video was filmed in Chicago. Super solid place to visit if you ever get the chance!
I was expecting you to say "Australia's No. #1 city: Sydney [or "Melbourne"]". Not many people care about Adelaide haha. Obviously you do! Nice video 👍
I’ve never called or referred to anyone as a bogan. Esky which I use, is the brand name of a portable cooler. I use the word Petrol station for your Gas station. I don’t have a hoody in any of my knitted cardigans. And I’ve never used the word Dunny . I must admit I do bung on quiet a bit of slang to my American friends on line, for fun - we all end up in hysterics. It took me 10 minutes of laughter trying to explain Tracky Dacks to my dear American friend 😂
Hi James! I had heard servo and brekie and dunny and jumper before. I forgot I had heard arvo before. Thanks for explaining a bogan! I had not heard of the others and didn't guess them right (maccas, ... oof- if there were more than seven they're gone!) Oh! Not bad, I cheated and saw your list. I only forgot eski. That one I originally thought of a jet ski, but cooler makes sense because of the Igloo brand coolers!
Hi Elaine! Thanks for watching the video. It sounds like you knew a pretty good amount of them! I did have a bigger list with me, but I only chose to do just those because the video would have been too long. And it’s already long as is lol. I actually tried to explain what a Bogan is in another comment but the comment kept getting deleted for some reason, but at least you know now haha. I could see eski being jet ski, it sounds like something an Australian would shorten down jet ski for😂😂
Adelaide holds a special place in my heart. Seems just like yesterday I was dumpster diving wit da boiz behind Haigh's Chocolate. Scored a TON of chocolate that night!
Dunny is just toilet not bathroom it could be in the bathroom lol. In reality it originally meant outback dunny google that has some great images. Before indoor plumbing dunnies were in outback that is in the yard.
