As a Brit, Bluey has made me aware how similar Aussie English is to British English...and how different it is too. One thing I find interesting about Aussie English is how everyone shortens words in general conversation, like "brekkie" and "biccy". When we shorten them, it's seen as more childish/baby talk. Us Brits also use the word 'mate', but it seems in Australia, 'mate' is a unisex word. In the UK, 'mate' is more masculine (a dad may call his young son mate, but hardly ever his daughter).

@BlueyCartoonFans 2 года назад

Yeah mate, many similarities between British and Aussie English. Aussies do like to shorten any words we can. I guess we are just efficient that way, haha.

The Christmas Swim episode was the biggest culture shock for me, it was just so unusual to see them celebrating Christmas without snow, all the shows I was brought up on (The Simpsons, for example) always had "winter wonderland" ice cold style snow for their Christmas specials. Got me thinking about how Australians must be tired of seeing that stereotype in America shows.

I feel sorry for you, personally. Especially those in the colder states that have to deal with harsher conditions. Clearing a driveway and gutters of snow and icicles and putting salt everywhere sounds fun but I'd want to do it once for the experience and then have enough of it haha. Also, how do you guys cope with being shut inside a single house with all the relatives and end up (at least physically) unharmed? It's tradition here to go down the park, river or beach mainly to escape the relatives but also playing holiday sports is fun!

For a long time I thought a cantaloupe was a type of large animal (probably because it sounds like antelope, I thought it was a similar animal). It wasn't until I was watching a documentary about large storms where they said the hail stones in one particular storm were 'as large as cantaloupes' that I figured something wasn't right. I Googled it and found it's the American word for rockmelon. Still pretty huge for a hailstone, but far from the antelope-sized chunks of falling ice I was envisioning as I looked up the actual meaning.

Dunny = Toilet (Τουαλέτα) Cheeky = Θρασύς (This one is a genuine Greek word with a similar meaning to the word cheeky) Capsicum = Πιπεριά (usually we call them "sweet peppers" "γλυκιά πιπεριά" or "cayenne peppers" since capsicum comes from the family of capsicum annuum peppers)

Bet American biscuits really makes people really go for a loop internationally. In America biscuit is used often specifically for a specific kind of bread often eaten at breakfast, notable for using baking powder instead of yeast as a leavening agent. Probably the closest international equivalent is a scone, though American biscuits are almost never sweet as to go with more toppings or other breakfast items such as eggs or meats.

As an Aussie, I have a few American friends and they’ve come over to Australia and we go down to the creeks, one time they were meeting me at the creek so I was texting them and just letting them know that I’ll be there soon and I’m just getting my thongs on and this was they’re response “oh, we are going to the ‘fun’ club today?” And I almost died when I realised

@Resavian Год назад

I was in a cafe in Florida and a clock on the wall had "flip flops" on it, I turned to the waitress and said "your clock with the thongs on it is interesting". Dead Silence. Awkward stare. Sudden realisation. Rushed apology.

@Spacebun236 Год назад

I usually could figure out the words through context but capsicum was one I thought was just something Aussie exclusive to put on salads like a veggie native to the country or something I never remembered to look it up either so this really helped me with that. Now I’m gonna use these in every day conversations

@AngelusNielson Год назад

Thank you for the education. I do appreciate it.

@erinrising2799 Год назад

@cindydott452 Год назад

The only one I didn't know was "Bin Chicken". (I'm a huge fan of "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" Learned a lot there!) I thought they were saying "BIG Chicken" and couldn't figure that out. Also, the version of BBQ I saw had them saying pepper.

I like how Aussies pronounce the “o” in know, no and blue as in “naouuu”. It took me a year to get it right.

@frank_calvert Год назад

There is no o in blue. Also the only difference in pronunciation (I'm an amateur linguist) within the Australian English "o" is that the first half is more like the a in "comma"

@thomasmettham9386 2 года назад

I understand Chilly's situation by her asking her family to say toilet instead of " Dunny ". It's like in the UK your term " Dunny " is our lingo for " Bog " which I don't like using. Also we Brits say " mate " to each other too. But what was new to me was the bell pepper " Capsicum ". Oh and " Bin Chicken ". Never heard that in Aussie slang.

@BlueyCartoonFans 2 года назад

Yes, there is a fair bit of slang shared between UK and Aus. I have heard people in Aus say bog as well.

@newbris 2 года назад

I think Dunny is considered less harsh than bog in the toilet nickname scale. Checked with my English wife and she agrees :)

@angelinacamacho8575 Год назад

What's funny is in the U.S you are encouraged to say bathroom if it has a bath but lavatory if it doesn't. Toilet is acceptable but saying such a word might make people think you are uneducated. Another acceptable but hardly ever used term is water closet (WC)

@belajarsudoku Год назад

In my region, WC is more popular as "W" in our alphabet is monosyllabic; easier way to pronounce.

I love how these shows can cause kids in other countries to pick up Australianisms. We seem to have a skill for creating popular children's tv, I think kids in America might be drawn to it because it seems more warm and genuine than many overproduced programs that might be made there (not to say that all American kids shows are like that).

@Ratryoshka Год назад

So apparently "dunny" is similar to "jamban". Theyre talking about outhouse (usually squat) toilets & yet in Brunei people casually call every type of toilet "jamban" (in Indo it's only used to specifically describe outhouse squat toilets)

Okay most of these I would understand non-Australians not getting the meaning of, but cheeky is a word in the US too. It’s more commonly used in the UK and Australia (and perhaps other places, idk) but I’ve heard it used over here as well. It’s less of a slang term and more of a common English word that’s just not as common in the US.

The word thongs for sandals/flip flops seems to be a generational thing in America. My grandmother used to use the word thongs and we would always laugh about it, but knew what she meant was flip flops. No one younger than her generation uses that word anymore for shoes because of what it means now.

In Australia we call the underwear thong a G-string or a g-banger if you're using slang.

british to aussie translations: chips = chips (like with a burger) or crisps (like from a packet) thongs = flip-flops or slides biscuit = cookie if it has chocolate chips, cracker if you’d put cheese on it and biscuit for everything else bin chicken = i guess an Ibis as we don’t have them dunny = toilet or loo cheeky = cheeky capsicum = pepper rockmelon = honeydew melon mate = mate, but in australia, it is used to address either gender, but in the uk, it can still be used like that but often it used between men/boys

From the US here. It helped me that I have a few friends from the UK and a lot of words like chip, biscuit, and such so when I hear it in Bluey it doesn't phase me. But then Capsicum came on and I was confused as all hell. But once ya showed a picture it made complete sense because we just don't USE the scientific name for em. They're just peppers. Also Rockmelons can also be called muskmelons here in the States. It's more of a rural/Southern dialect. Fun to see how language just changes and evolves depending on where ya live.
