Her accent would be defined as "broad" rather than "general" or "cultivated" but definitely a genuine accent you will hear. And we use all those words 😂
Queensland is defo (definitely) an interesting state I've been living in Far North Queensland since I was 13. Accents generally tend to be broad up here, Tanner is from this area as well. I've been asked by some of the locals and one German backpacker recently about where I'm from. Because I have a general accent being originally from Brissie (Brisbane). I'll never forget the first time I found myself around a lot of Aussies with cultured accents. My parents and I visited an area about an hours drive south of Perth, West Oz (Western Australia) when I was 12. It was a shock to my system at the time. It felt like I'd left the country, not just gone to the other side of it.
@@larissahorne9991 Back, many years ago, I lived in FNQ also. ( was in boarding school for 3 of those years. Travelled to Melbourne for 1 year on school holidays, where the family had moved. It was so hard. I had to speed up the walking and talking when down South, and try and remember to drop the "ay" at the end of every sentence. Go back up North, and was constantly told by friends "slow down!" 😂
Honoured to say I've used all these terms in my everyday speech during my 78 yrs as an Aussie , but Tanner who is a Fair Dinkum, True blue,Little rippa, Bonza, Strayian,Too right she is , forgot my favourite expression's which are Stone the crows (amazment) , Flat out like a lizard drinking (busy) , Lower than a snakes arsehole (despicable), Have a Sticky beak (look) , Pull your head in (stop and think) , Pull your finger out (get started) , I wouldn't be dead for quids ( enjoying life) etc etc . Unfortunately the older the population gets the language is becoming more international, influenced by our ability to communicate instantly to anyone anywhere at any time , Aussie slang is slowly but surely becoming more modern and the expression's of our forebares are drifting away . All this is perfectly as it should be but I'd hate to see us loose our distinctive terminology
I try everyday to keep the Aussie slang words and phrases alive. I told a bloke today "Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining". Luckily I have people around me everyday who love speaking in slang terms 😊
We're keeping it alive! I'm 42 and grew up military family and had no end of slang growing up. I'm always Educating and sharing our language and give them a nickname while I'm at it. Cheers guys, Have a good one. I'm off to work... And... yes Mate, #^@%ing oath we use Mate a lot. AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE
Australia is a big country. Woop Woop was a town in the middle of nowhere. Another phrase is "the back of Bourke" which means beyond the town called Bourke which is 750 kms from Sydney! Another phrase is "beyond the black stump (as in tree stump) although nobody knows where it really is.
woop woop .. a town in the middle of nowhere .. is actually mythical :) but this use of it being an actual town is dating from around 1850-1900 (?) idk .. its old tho .. a pretty old myth for aussies anyways
The black stump was just west of Bourke until it burnt down again. That’s according to my Pop who drove trucks and said it was a good spot to pull up for the night
I worked with a European chef whos first Aussie greeting when he landed was "G'day mate, how the fuck are ya". He loved the welcoming friendliness of the greeting and adopted it as his own.
@@lonnie224 I'm 48 & diagnosed with emphysema at the start of the year despite quitting 3 years ago. I'll be dead before my 20 year old son is 25. Think about me the next time you're missing the durries 👍
About 70% of her Aussie slang is spot on, and still used. I love the way she does it, though I suspect she doesn't talk like that all the time!! It's really clear from all these 'Aussie culture' videos that much of our slang and common sayings originate from the British background of the majority of the population up until the 50s - 60s. I think alot of the younger generations here don't realize how much of our culture harks back to English, Irish and Scottish influence.
The Australian accent is only subtly different if you only use geographical differences. Queensland does have a little difference and South Australia has a British lean sometimes but its softening.
@@EL_Duderino68I was told by an Englishwoman that I must be from SA because of my accent. I was really impressed, especially given that I had a European accent until I was a teenager!
How broad your Aussie accent and word usage is completely depends on where you live. I live in Sydney and I'm not likely to walk around Circular Quay saying "G'day mayyyyte how ya GOWWWNN". Bonzer mate, she's a real ripper
Then you go to western Sydney and it’s straight up “owzitgarn Cnt” which is a term of endearment. If they don’t add the C to the end they don’t see you as a friend. It’s hard to believe it’s all one big city sometimes.
The first shoey I saw was in the late 80 early 90 came from the hash house harriers. A recreational running group and they used to do shoeys after wards from their running shoes. It then came to current generation after a race driver (david reynolds) in a domestic series did it after winning a race. Became international when Daniel Riccardo did it on the podium after a F1 win
This is a regional Australian accent and very typical of those who were born, raised, and continue to live in rural areas. I have a lot of family who sound just like this 😅
I've watched a few of these strayan slang videos and I'm a bit p|ssed off no one has mentioned "no wukkas". Means she'll be right, from "no f**kin' worries", spoonerised to "no wucking furries", abbreviated to no wukkas. Also, she mentioned ciggie and dart, but missed durrie, as in "spare us a durrie?" (May I please have one of your cigarettes?). Derroes might randomly ask you that outside train stations or bottleos.
At 75 years of age I have heard & used most of those sayings , And that Sheila is a real Dagg & I would have loved to have hung out with a bird like her as a teenager. She is as funny as F**K.
A "shoey" seems fairly recent. I first saw it done by the Aussie Formula 1 driver, and only within the past 5 or so years. To stay in the videos theme, it's bloody rank.
She's got a bit of bogan about her. Mind you, I use a lot of the slang that she used but I'm more rural than bogan. Best thing about "Strine" is that if you're around Americans but you don't want them to understand what you're talking about, just speak "Strine!" It's virtually like speaking a totally different language to the Seppos!
When I started teaching I was told I needed to slow down my speech because I taught in a very multicultural school, the Aussie kids could understand me but the international kids couldn’t. I also had to cut out the swearing when I spoke for obvious reasons. Now when I do swear it just feels wrong. After teaching for 20 years the odd expletive would slip out and the kids would laugh. I did use Aussie slang in class because it’s part of who we are and who they are I’m never going to be embarrassed by that. I did however get sacked from a school in a posh area of Melbourne because as a western suburbs person the parents couldn’t handle that I was teaching inclusion and diversity to their spoiled little white kids. Mind you as a person of Irish descent I think I might have pushed the boundaries a bit just to stir the ruling class.
As an ancient Aussie, I've used all those and many others. She's probably a Queenslander, but the accent was a little too thick to be real, I speak like that when I want tourists to be entertained or confused. Bottleo comes from the early 20th century when men used to travel around the streets shouting 'bottles', buying empty bottles to take back to the breweries for re-use.Early recycling. The internet will destroy Aussie slang.
I’ve never been known to swear like that, but in my almost 70 years I’ve heard most of those terms and used a few of them. Her accent when she was speaking normally was broad but something that you hear often, but she did go to the extreme in some cases. As far as the amount of alcohol she discusses, we don’t all drink. I would say her explanation of the slang was fairly accurate.
Ozzies don't have regional accents, but they do have regional words, IE a 10 oz beer in QLD is a "10", NSW it's a "middy" and VIC it's a "pot". So you've got more chance of identifying where they're from by a few of the words or sayings. There are only two accents in Australia and they are "Urban" and "rural". You can tell by the accent if they grew up in the bush, and the chic in the video is a bushy.
We also have the Aussie version of received pronounciation. Think judges, ABC journalists, etc. And I reckon I can pick a crow eater's accent over a Melbournian or Sydneysider.
Google what a shoey is coz she doesn't know. Then be glad all over again that you're old enough to have missed that brain dead practice. Caution: when you find out how to do a real shoey, be prepared to laugh at the footpath
The Aussie accent is virtually the same everywhere in Straya but different places often use different sayings...I emigrated to Straya in 1970 from England and love living here "I call Australia home" my favourite saying has to be "She'll be right mate!"
Sorry but it definitely isn’t the same everywhere every state has their own accent I am in nsw and I don’t sound the same as a Victorian I met a south Australian and if you’d been there you’d have known our accents are vastly different I don’t even sound the same as my own uncle because he’s in rural nsw and I’m in Sydney so educate yourself before making such a wide sweeping asinine inaccurate comment as this
Woop Woop takes on a whole new meaning when - Some cattle ranches and dairy's in Aus own land that can be as large if not larger than Scotland or England.
Here is one for you, Roused On.. To rouse on means something completely different to the English, Scottish or even the French. And Australia also has a connection to different parts of Scotland, through the people, but also some of the place names in Australia are Scottish. If you really want to know if everyone speaks like that in Australia born in Australia, just have a look at different Australian Clips. not everyone swears in Australia, there is a part of Australia that doesn't like it. Not everyone drinks, in Australia. The only reason why you see it, a lot, because its popular right now, its a stereotype, it gets Attention. A lot of Australians are quiet, there is a noisey part to us, but the truth is, a lot of people in Australia like peace and quiet. If we are stressed or too much is asked of us, its go away and leave us alone, really. Not that we are not being friendly we just need time out, or we are stressed, or nuh we are done. If you want to see Scottish Australians, you can see Bon Scott from ACDC before he died. Jimmy Barnes, a muso, singing working class man is a goody, or a good one. And don't forget to do, the goofy Scottish kid from the 70s or 80s commercial That's not how you make porridge, which became a famous meme. Uncle Toby's instant porridge commercial came, because It can be hard to get Australians to change their ways.
woop-woop :) while it does mean unreasonably far away, it also means kinda "the back of beyond," or "beyond the black stump" or "out back". So an aussie going to scotland might not really be going to "woop-woop" (depending on who you ask) because "woop-woop" is at least subconsciously one of those aussie sounding place names, like of little towns youve never heard of .. its like parts of australia count as farther away than Mars because they are "woop-woop" But the next aussie you ask will be "I call bullshit Mars is totally woop-woop" :)
Out Woop Woop is one of a few phrases, it could be “out back of Bourke” and you could say “I’m going out yonder” too. I could drive for about 30 hours and still be in the same State if I was heading North.
I usually use “butt fuckin nowhere” instead of whoop whoop hahah. But most of them I have used or heard others used. Missed a few ones but still accurate in a general sense hahaha
I suspect she's from QLD. Some of the accent is a bit exagerated at times I think.... A lot of the slang I can imagine hearing and even using in a group (down at the club or somewhere), but it's not necessarily an everyday thing. So you wouldn't necessairly encounter a lot of this slang wandering around as a tourist.....
She’s piss funny and very Melbourne girl who is exactly the same as me ,a highly intelligent aussie as we all are over here mate .❤🇦🇺👍🏽✌️ And love your content ya bloody Galar, bonza!
Australia doesn’t have the same accent differences like the uk does, imo just “normal” and “country/slang”. I doubt she speaks like that all the time, but she might, there are Australians that do 👍 I think we are all guilty of getting our “slang Australian” out more when we’ve had a few drinks or more 🤣🤣 I would say most Australians can put on the slang accent, or speak normally 👍😊
In the West of Australia, the “Bottle-o” is the bloke who would collect the used bottles and give you money for them. The place you’re get booze is called “the gallon licence”. This sheila is an “Eastern States”, and as a West Aussie “Sandgroper”, I’ve never heard of shoeys. For instance, in the east the word “Beer” has only one syllable. In the west, it’s a “Be-ah”. I say “Sheila”, though some may take offence. Words she hasn’t used are: • Prang (a car accident) • Frangah (a prophylactic)
I remember the bottleo being someone who'd travel around and collect empty bottles. This was well before the era of liquor and drive through bottle shops, when pubs shut at 10pm, so I think the bottle collector was the terms origin. It's now used for liquor outlets as the old bottleo became an unprofitable business. Kids would search for deposit bottles and cash them in for lolly money. It was a different era and pocket money wasn't common.
Please understand that not all Australians talk like this. It's usually reserved for the more 'ocker' (uncultivated) character. However, even if it's not in common use to everyone, the terms are still usually easily recognised and understood.
Speak for yourself & ya snob mates. Most Aussies DO talk like this. It's only the up emselves snobs that think they're better than everyone else that don't speak this way. How Australian those people are is debatable. For mine, they can get out of my country
Whoop whoop is normally said " I'm going to the Middle of Whoop Whoop". Which normally means you are going to the Middle of nowhere and its easy than trying to explain exactly where you are going.
I was going to suggest "How to talk Australians", but I can see you've already covered it Basically it takes the use of Aussie slang - where a regular Aussie might use it at level 3 of 10, they turned it up to 11
Just for clarificatation, even Paul Hogan thought the Schrimp on the barbe was wrong but many years later admitted that Schrimp was Correct for American audience. Ozzies still use Prawn because it's correct for Ozzies.
Actually you will find the reason we call the prawns is because a shrimp is an entirely different crustacean. As far as I know, pretty much everywhere calls them prawns except for the septic tanks
She's brill. " Goon Bag " bag of wine . A " bogan " is a Chav here in the UK. Many girls do talk like this. Check the Suuny Cowgirls song.... " I've been everywhere ". She sounds like them two. I've done a few shoey's. NOBODY puts a shrimp on a barbie in Oz. I've never heard anybody say that. Woop Woop is so used in Oz by every age.
Tannar in this video is the quintessential loveable bogan. Bogan is closest to "chav" in that it refers to a generally uncultured person. But it is context sensitive, so you can call someone a bogan in a negative way, or in a positive way (like in this case). "Shoey" (quaffing alcohol from your shoe). I'm Gen X and this did not exist in my day. Sure we had "boat races" and beer skulling competitions but they were done from a beer glass not a shoe. This is a relatively modern, and weird, trend in Australia.
Bogan and chav definitely have a lot of crossover but you could sum up the difference ls in that chavs are more urban crossover while bogans are more working class crossover. You add to that musical influence being more like metal and hard rock with bogans vs hip hop and electronic with chavs. Also bogans sometimes have money due to fifo or in demand tradie jobs. So maybe that description helps visualize the difference.
Use woop woop a bit but can be interchanged with "Back of Burke" or "out the back of Burke). So, if some place is "out the back of Burke" it is a long way away. Oh, and Burke is an actual Australian town in the outback in the middle of nowhere. 🙂
She is a defo strayan cobber, I have used most of those words at some time or another plus a few more. Dry as a dead Dingos donger, is one other....defo, and many many others. She is very funny and she has a slight Boganish feel to her, and yes they are similar to the UK Chavs, but not quite the same thing!
we use mate in both casual and formal situations too very commonly sheila isnt super common but in regional areas and in pubs youll hear it a lot. and "woop woop" is pretty much a super common term. "out woop woop" just means its somewhere kinda far away, maybe a couple hours in some direction and you cant be fucked telling someone exactly where. might be out bush, might be some town near another town they may or may not have heard of so rather than going "you know this town? yeah well its the next town over" you just go "im headin out woopwoop" or something. as an aussie, the only one i cant say ive heard used is pearla. also shoies arent super common, but you go to any piss up and some cunt theres gonna do a shoie. i have a mate who pulled a shoie out of an old boot multiple times in one night. i nearly threw up. it was seriously a fuckin smelly old falling apart leather boot that looked like 20 years old.
Up shit creek, back of Burke, watering the horse, syphon the python, shake hands with the mrs best friend, splash the boots. Woop woop's a good one for when you don't even know where your going yourself then your up shit creek.
One traveller I met wanted to know where Woop Woop was. I did tell her and she gets the pencil and book out and asked ""how you spell the Woop Woop". She was so funny
I've definitely gone out Woop Woop! To some city dwellers, Woop Woop can be an outer suburb of Sydney or Melbourne! But I consider it a 6 or 7 hour drive inland from the coast... I would say we use most of those words, except Sheila
Mark Webber would do a shoey if he won his F1 race, he did it quite a few times when he was with Red Bull Racing, all her slang I have used or herd before in Australia, she has a great delivery
Yes, we say woop woop. And dunny still. Not so much sheila anymore. Hehehe. No one has mentioned ' tight as a fishes arsehole' for awhile. It means someone who can't part with their money! I remember a Chinese guy newly arrived and working with me in a hospital heard it and asked me what it meant. Hahahaha. I told him. He was stunned and then laughed. 🤣😂
People of different age groups and areas tend to use different slang. Like a suburban mother of three is less likely to use "pisshead" but may still use the term "woop woop" especially when talking about her kids lost shoes.
"Woop Woop" is somewhere remote or far away, we also use the phrase, "out the back of burk" & "Bum F*ck No where" and the 3 are often used in conjunction with eachother Example: You: Where you going? Me: Going out woop woop You: Really, where she live? Me: Out the back of burk, middle of Bum F*ck and no where
Woop Woop is a ghost town on the edge of the goldfields beyond civilisation in Western Australia. When people say they are going to Woop Woop is means they are going a long way away to a very remote location.
With using mate, it's kinda how like Italians talk with their hands and they don't know it, it's generally a learned behavior from people around you growing up. Mate is like breathing to an Australian 😂
I was brought in the more traditional English way, but I have met many rural & outback people who use ozzie slang & know exactly what they are talking about & a few times used it myself with or without the swearing lol.. I've gotta bloomin go now, see ya mate.
I don't know that we all use those words... she missed, Bugger... which is pretty multipurpose.. and I'd have thought pretty common too. Things can be buggered, broken, you can be buggered, tired, you also can't be buggered, takes to much effort... I'll be buggered, surprised... bugger that, usually in relation to an idea..I have to work this arvo, bugger that lets go to the pub. Sheila, which she couldn't spell is lost in the depths of time I think.. haven't heard that in years.
Yeah I use all these all the time. Btw she is probably from Queensland the same as I am, because we speak the same way. However not at work or with people I don't know then I speak with a cultivated accent 😁👍
i'm yankee but i lived in the u.k. 2 1/2 years with an english gf. alot of these phrases are also commonly used in the u.k. so i don't know that i would call them specifically australian.
Shoeys are not something that is done by the general person. You aren't going to go to the local and find people drinking from their shoes on Saturday night. It's usually done as part of a celebration, most commonly by sports stars. Sometimes athletes will do it after winning a major competitition (usually a grand final) or beating a record.
Mate, she is definitely regional. I’m gonna guess NSW. But could be from anywhere really, cos we don’t have accents from different places (although I reckon a true Queenslander definitely sounds different to a Victorian, but not by much.) I only know this because my Grandmother is an old Country Queenslander and the way she pronounces some words are DEFINITELY not how we pronounce them in Vic. Pauline Hanson does it. It’s a tightness around the “E” vowel sound that you can’t find everywhere. Theres a posh Australian accent and a bogan Aussie accent. As for slang, her list is pretty good, as are the origin stories. And that pleases me.
I think schnozza is a diminutive of Schnozzle (Snozzle) Jimmy Durante an American actor, comedian, singer, and pianist. When I was a kid it was quite common to hear the full expression "Snozzle Durante". For Ref: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Durante
