50 year old Sydney boy, born and raised. This woman has done the best slang explanation I've seen. And in our cultural tone, dry and self mocking. She's a bloody legend.
The only thing they could have done was set replay speed to 75%, missed a few of them.
60y.o. from Tassie , I watched lots of U.S. t.v.
As a middle-aged Aussie, yes, I've used all of them, most not daily however, and there's plenty more left on the shelf too.
Me too you’re not on your Pat Malone cobber
bloody oath mate
"Carrying on like a pork chop" was originally "You''re carrying on like there's a pork chop in the Synagogue." Obviously to some that could be offensive, so it just got shortened ... older Aussies knew what it meant.
I thought it was because they spit when you cook them and the fat makes popping noises
@@xxillicitxx Oh yes I remember that one. I thought that was a pork sausage. They probably derived from a similar base somewhere long ago.
Fun fact: the aussie slang saying "Buckley's chance" or just "Buckley's" (which means slim or no chance, extremely unlikely) originates from a real story. William Buckley was an escaped convict here in the 1800s. He lived in the bush among the aboriginals and eluded authorities for 30 years - a feat considered next to impossible for a white person back then. A variation of this saying is "you have two chances - Buckley's and none" which means it just ain't gonna happen.
Buckley & Nunn was also a department store in Melbourne.
You got two chances and they're both in Bourke Street. Is the saying
Don't forget that our slang is also very regional. Not all states and regions use the exact same words for things. Beer size names is a great example, but there are many others. This was a fun reaction. 😂
This is all legit everyday Aussie language..i take for granted but some make think we have murdered the English language. I was in Nevada recently.. just talking normally and our lovely host said, "Dear, i barely picked up half of of what you just said, and I only know its English because i got the other half." 😂
Nah Yeah…she did a top job and didn’t exaggerate …we say all of these
Only thing you need to know is that we (Australians) are natural smart arses and our slang reflects that 😊
"fair suck of the sauce bottle" is an old slang term that may make more sense if one considers that in times past the rum or whisky or just ill-defined home brewed alcoholic spirits was referred to sometimes as "sauce". These bottles of "sauce" were often shared with mates with no glasses in sight. If one got a bit greedy or spent too long swigging from the bottle then the others could chide him by stating the unwritten rule "mates should get a fair suck of the sauce bottle, no more, no less". Thus it came to mean that mates share what they have, nobody should get more than their share, and expect a suitable rebuke if you fail to stick to that rule.
Oooooohhhh brilliant that explains it makes total sense
Really to me and the state or country ,maybe QLD is different,I’m from always said fair suck of the sav until KRudd came along with some sort of a dad like illiterateration that turned the sav into a sauce bottle of which he was heckled for doing by the media.
There is another Aussie saying that is either "S.O.L" or "Shit On the Liver" which basically means the same as "Cracking the shits". In olden times the heart was considered the source of passion and love, while the liver was the source of anger and temper. Thus if the liver wasn't cleansed or voided by various means or potions or spells there could be a buildup of basically waste or faeces on the liver that would cause that person to go towards anger and rage. So "cracking the shits" basically means the coming out of the symptoms or the external expression of an internal disorder of the accumulation of faeces on the liver.
According to an Aussie slang expert I was watching recently carry on like a pork chop was shortened from the longer carry on like a pork chop in Jerusalem on a Saturday and was a pretty common expression back in the 1920s..
I was about to write that, but I was obviously a bit slow off the mark.
I've got a Mexican mate who has been studying ( US ) English for for some time and thought he had a great grasp on the English language, and then he came to Australia in September, and he was like WTF are these people saying???😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tell him I'm an Aussie Mexican 😂
@@catherinemckay7959 I'm originally a Mexican too, from Victoria that is but, i snuck across the border a looooong time ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@aussiebornandbred 😂😂😂😂
You made me laugh....
We have a phillipino guy at work who's English name is warren....
Wazza...... 😆
Yes indeed. I have a friend from Germany and learnt English and after a little while began to realise that she was missing something important in our slang.
Yep… “Let’s confuse the Americans” And it’s worked. 😆😂 this was fun😂😂❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
Im a Mexican. Im an Aussie but i live south of the border.
Yep
Nice 2 c u 2 enjoying our cultcha. When I was young a common saying when u were leaving a party bbq or whatever, was have some for RON. Meaning later on, usually smokes, beer, food or whatever.
Always gotta save a bud for Ron😂
It originates from rhyming slang of the UK brought over from the convict era. It has, however, grown and expanded since then. More commonly used in country areas as opposed to the major cities.
More commonly used by the older generations, hence the presenter not aufait with some of them.
One that wasn't mentioned was 'a face like a wet week', think on it. Many of the sayings are self-explanatory.
Merry Christmas to you both, we do not say Happy Holidays.
Neal, i'm hoping that you and Mackenzie would do a reaction video to Kevin Bloody Wilson's rude but very funny song called Hey Santa Clause. It is Christmas,after all.I hope you guys will remember it's rude but funny 😁.
A head like a deep sea racing mackerel
A head like a robbers dog
A head like a smashed crab 🦀 just a few more aussie sayings for ugly that isn’t personal. Love the show, you 2, and COME OVER AND JOIN THE PARTY 🎉❤🇦🇺🇺🇸
Servo is short for 'Service Station' as back in the day, an attendant would come out and give you a full car service like topping it fuel, water and oil, hence Service Station. It no longer applies today as people serve themselves at the pump but the name stuck.
G'day Guys! So some Aussie slang does get international traction like the word "selfie." Sometimes an expression will come from or be inspired by films/TV...A now little used expression was "Going to point Percy at the porcelain" this was inspired from the movie 'Percy's Progress about a penis transplant called "Percy." Cheers!
The Dropped Pie one can also be "head like a smashed crab". Keep up the good work guys, take it easy. Cheers
Many of these are British slang too
Sparrows fart is based on the fact the lots of men fart when the wake up. Sparrows rise before dawn. To be awake at a sparrow’s fart is to be awake before dawn. Makes sense to me.
You guys so need to come for a trip here! I live in an apartment in downtown Melbourne. Would love to take you guys out for a drink at an Aussie pub and watch the utter confusion on your face trying to understand what everyone is going on about... 😂😂
I’m retired up on the northern border of Vic. Can you imagine them trying to figure out what the local farmers at the pub are saying up here? I swear they think I’m a bit simple because they leave me staring into space trying to translate what they are saying myself half the time 😂 I’m always about 2 sentences behind in the conversation…
Fair pull of the polly waffle. If you have a weird looking head often you'll here it said you got hit with the ugly stick which means you fell out of the tree and hit all the branches on your way down. Busy as a one arm brick layer, or a dog trying to bury a bone in a cement floor, im fifty been listening to my farthers slang my whole life and still have to ask him to explain alot one recently a Jewish till with no springs, when a shop shuts early.
That was really brilliant, and very useful, we love Brianne! 🤗 I hope she can rest her brain with some proper English after that! 👍
She’s a dog
Here’s one…Banging like a dunny door in a windstorm!
I love watching this vid....
I smile because it's all true....
We all don't use everything but we all know what they all are....
Deffo
Carrying like a pork chop is missing a bit. It is "Carrying on like a pork chop on a hot plate". I.e. sizzling like a fatty pork chop with lots of fat when it is cooking on a hot-plate/BBQ etc. Basically it means being melodramatic.
I am so glad you two enjoyed learning Aussie slang.
I’m a 66yo Aussie from Melbourne and I remember as a kid there was a department store called Buckley and Nunn (obviously surnames of original proprietors). In true Aussie fashion, it got shortened to Buckley in the vernacular and then because we are descended from Poms (Brits) Buckleys became a kind of Cockney rhyming slang for “none”.
It gets even more confusing because I remember a very popular derivation of this slang as “you’ve got two chances -buckleys and none” because buckleys already meant no chance in effect two chances really meant no chance! Told you it was confusing! Welcome to Aussie slang.
Nope
As an Australian I like the fact this Aussie woman speaks well and doesn’t sound like a bogan which I always brace myself for when I see Australians interviewed.
Fair shake of the sauce bottle lol
I also use ‘U-Bolt’, which is to do a risky, quick ‘Uey’. Used to crack my young Son up every time. 😀
Dear Americans. A lot of these sayings and expressions came from London cockney slang and dialects from East Anglia brought by the first British settlers in the late 18th century. It's a unique accent and one of the most colourful and witty voices of the many varieties of English around the world.
Sanger, sandwitch, toasted sanger, much better it's been put in the sanger toaster for 8 minutes. That is also a toastie. Crisp browned bread, sealed edges, melty cheese, whatever you like in it. A deep dish sanga toaster will do a baked egg sanga. Do you guys get spicy fruit loaf? Put a share size mars bar in it, in the sanga toaster, yum.
If u live here, it makes petfect sense!!
there once was a town called woop woop in 1925
Indeed it was 10km west of Wilga W.A it was set up by a timber mill Company from Adelaide in 1925 and dwindled into oblivion.
"Flat out like a lizard drinking" actually has two completely different meanings, and the correct one depends not only of the context or situation it refers to but could also be one's own interpretation of the situation. "Flat out" as in "I'm flat out with work at the moment so no new jobs booked until next week" means "I'm busy as a blue-arsed fly with no time to even scratch myself so don't pile on extra work that won't be done on time", "Like a lizard drinking" means lying low, flat and horizontal, like how most people sleep. But also lizards rarely drink water and generally don't stay in that position very long as they can be vulnerable and exposed to predators gathered near the watering hole. So "flat out can mean busy or it can indicate your position lying down, and "like a lizard drinking" can indicate the low flat horizontal position or the state of wariness, skittiness, busyness or being rushed in one's actions. Therefore the slang term can often be used sarcastically to indicate being busy but at the same time to also indicate probably not.
Personally I've always liked "Busy as a one-legged man in a bum-kickin' contest".This was my dads go to answer when ever asked to do something !!
👍 I didn’t know about the second interpretation of flat out. But I did get off on Stafanos Tsitsipas trying to prove his Australian creds at the AO this year and mangling it in the process 😀
Shes a riot. In South Australia. We would say shes heaps good.
She forgot one. "It's the other side of the black stump" which is similar to the other side of woop woop but the black stump is real place just 50kays south of woop woop.
You ever cooked a pork chop or bacon on high heat? It spits and carries on. To me, it just means getting carried away. 🤷🏼♀️💛
Dimmies.
Whats a dimmie?
A dim sim.
Whats a dim sim?
You're getting it. Well done.
I notice that both of you say ‘ I swear ‘ all the time. I like it.
New drinking game, every time McKenzie says I Swear take a shot - careful though you'll end up smashed.
I wish i could say that instead of actually swearing but hey I'm Australian
To add more to flat out like a lizard drinking is flat out like a lizard on a rock means you're doing nothing
Coming next...Australian reacts to Americans reacting to Australian reacts to Aussie slang. Reaction inception.
As an Aussie, hearing this explained has me scratching my head!
Bingle is really a prang
OMG, if you put a pork chop in a frying pan what does it do? It jumps around and splatters crap all over the place! So the reference is " If you're carrying on about something and jumping up and down and crap is coming out of your mouth" then you're carrying on like a pork chop! Have you never fried a pork chop before?
She looks pretty young.... Maybe she hasn't? calm down...
Omg I’ve never realised how we talk until rn 💜😂😂😂😂🇦🇺 ps we’re all just lazy, have to shorten everything
Mak you are improving. Chocka block is over flowing
And the Ozzie word for goodbye is 'ooroo'
We have worked hard as a country and we have heaps of flies , words matter .
When someone suggests something and you say i reckon . It means you concur.
You two are so cute love watching you especially Aussie ones, keeping it real 😂
She is only a youngster who was not around to hear all the Bush Slang of yesteryear oh well suppose I'll hop on Shank's Pony and get out of here
I could barely understand the guy on the left, but I am Aussie!
Ozzie Slang was invented by the Convicts so that they could openly talk amoung themselves in front of the Soldiers, without the soldiers understanding what they were talking about. Obviously, the trend kept going and today it's a living language. However, NO ONE other than Ozzies born in this country understand it or use it. It can never be used overseas because, like you guys, you just stare at each other and wonder what we said! She did bring up some good ones, but there are waaaaay more and way more cryptic phrases. "Knee high to a grasshopper". A really young kid. "When Adam was a boy". A really really really long time ago. "Fair suck of the sav". You're annoyed that your not being treated fairly or you think you're being extorted.
Yes I was wondering when someone was going to mention fair suck of the savings 😂
Bloody auto correct, sav
Flat out like a lizard drinking. Busy
The one I use is head like a beaten favourite
Hate to break it to you but yeah, Woop Woop is a real place lol
nice I'm going to start using the words
Real English words used to confuse (non Aussie) English speakers😊
Woop Woop did exist though... briefly
If you have ever seen a thirsty lizard drink with it's tounge going a million miles an hour trying to get liquid into it you'd understand flat out like a lizard dronking. Another werid bit of slang I came across was the term some trying to flog you something. It just means to put the hard sell on you but it beats me where that came from.
"Reckon" is an actual word we use as slang, but it means to calculate or to solve...I think 😁
I would've said "estimate". But may or may not be an informed estimate. So "how long dyer reckon it is" could be informed by having a look, whereas "Reckon we should go to Macca's" is just a request for an opinion.
that's just what I was about to say
What do you reckon (recognize)?
Same level as a cockney slangs, its a whole another language,,I'm always look dumb founded about what they're saying
Nah your head's fine dude. Another version is "a face like a half eaten pastie"
My mum's fave were "face like a smashed crab" and "face like a hat full of busted arseholes"
Its not slang... its our lingo.. lol every Australian understands it... l call it Australian English.
lol, but they all make sense to me...but i'm Aussie lol
We are like the code whisperers of slang. Foreigners cant decipher our slang
Pork chop referring to something dramatic could be related to "went down like a pork chop at a synagogue" referring to something unpopular, because a synagogue is a Jewish place of worship and pork isn't kosher
🤣😂 Aussie Aussie
I was just about to say
Lizards drink fast
I made up my own slang quote, that hasn't court on yet.
"Man I'm sweating like a pork chop on a barbie,!"
Work that out, 😊
I say I'm sweating like a dog shittin' razorblades😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mate ..she's f.king right mate.
I was the first one to
someone told me once that our accent came from flies and trying to talk with our mouths shut cos the flies haha but like seriously try not to open your mouth as you talk, its OG aussie
Pork chop dropped into hot oil/ fst in z pan spits alot and is noisy. Simple
We know American slang because of Hollywood
Buckley's chance you've already heard, or a snowflakes chance in hell, or a ham sandwich at a Bar-mitzvah, and hasn't anyone mention my favourite farmyard dinosaur the Might Chook, and there are about 150 others that have sexual connotations that definitely could "not" be mentioned here
To be fair, African-Americans have been doing some pretty interesting things to the English language as well. The only difference is, most of what you guys say ends up in movies, tv shows and/or music so the world gets to learn about it.
Most Americans simply cannot make the correct sounds for "Sanger" even if they can interpret the combination of letters to mean sounds that are generally not written that way. Probably the closest one could get is to interpret the first syllable "sang" like many African Americans tend to when they say "She didn't just sing that song she sang that song, it was so good". The "er" is pronounced may like "a" or "ah". That will get you closer but then everything probably has to be opened out or rounded to sound like an Aussie word.
Not every Aussie uses most of those terms...
It fair shake of the sauce bottle, not suck.
Depends where you're from, I say and hear suck of the sauces bottle all the time
Na not a head like a dropped pie. Maybe face like a punched in lasagne or head like a smashed crab.
LOL yeah sore
I wouldn't worry too much about learning Aussie slang, even if you plan a visit. Why? Well 63 years of living in Adelaide (born and bred), and I don't use it and there are a heaps of people that don't. Now if you go to bars or spend your time in the outback or very small rural towns, you are bound to come across it, but cities? It's not everywhere and it is NOT compulsory to speak it.
Well south Aussies speak with more of a plum in the mouth, a bit posh compared with the eastern states that have more of a nasally sound and south Australia wasn't settled by convicts, it was mostly Germans and religious groups
@@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb Well in my case my grandfather contracted the Spanish Flu in Wales in 1918 and when dad was born in 1922 his doctor advised he move the family to a warm climate, hence their move by sea to WA. After a short time in a camp there they moved to Adelaide. Dad always sounded British to me, not very Australian but he never left Adelaide and died at 85. I didn't do a lot of interstate travel over the years but did note differences between SA and Victoria. Certain words stood out like school for instance.
@@dee-smart i was born in Victoria but I moved to south Australia 32 years ago, im now 62, it was very obvious i was from country Victoria due to my accent and the way I spoke and the words I used, you could say I stuck out like a sore thumb and I found south Aussies rather posh with there accent, my father was also from the UK, London actually 😊
@@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb That is an interesting take on South Aussies. I never listened to them and thought - my dad, yes, but not the general South Aussies. Oh well, that is what makes us all so different.
5:12 hi what is up how are you
half a point for sure
devilfaded faded with
as far as the saying carrying on like a pork chop my grandfather told me the saying came about because of the high dramatics performance pigs go through when you pick them up .....being a bit dramatic there mate stop carrying on like a pork chop
Flatoutvlike a lizard drinking actually means you ARE NOT FLATOUT bcoz a lizard drinks slowly, so it's a play on words, Flat out means fast, a lizard drinking is slow.
Flat out like a lizard drinking comes about because when a lizard drinks, it’s body flattens out.
@@kevintrodd3732 exactly
You might not know and understand Aussie slang, BUT just try and go to England and listen to people who speak Geordie in the midlands of England. When I was there in '88 I could not understand a word of it. Not one word!! To me it wasn't English at all.
Carrying on like a pork chop - being overly dramatic and creating a scene for little or no reason, just like a pork chop jumps around crazy, spitting fat and making a squealing sound when put in a hot pan.
