      @Dave Tempe "No"? Are you saying "far canal" is *not* a distant waterway?
      I've never heard of "far Kurnell", but didn't say it was wrong.
      So I did google it, did you?
      Nothing linked to anything definitive about what, where, why, or when but seems to involve sailing or triathlon circa 2011.
      I saw my "far canal" reference at a workplace that I started at back in 1979. (so possibly predating FK by at least 32 years).
      The same noticeboard showed a circle labelled with "this is a round tuit".

    Sanga is more of a country thing or more of an older person saying it.
    Chock a block is an old nautical term on sailing boats when the rope is pulled as far as it can go and the blocks are tightly pushed together with no room to move. But as aussies we actually just shorten it to chockas, and we will say it like nah she’s chockas.

    The attempts at the Australian accent are endearing - not offensive! You do sound more British than Australian. I think that's quite common for Americans trying to do an Australian accent.
    To "pash" is to kiss passionately... make out.
    "Sanger" is not very common, but it does get used occasionally.
    "True blue" is sometimes used to mean genuine, without necessarily meaning genuinely Australian, but yes, genuinely Australian is the general meaning. Also Dinky Die... same thing.

An example being that some of our greatest war heroes are a horse (Bill the Bastard), and a dog (Horrie). Another example is we are the only country in the world to declare war on birds......only to lose the war (The Emu Wars). Another unique thing about Australia, is that we are actually proud of this.

    Hey Kingy's, you two are doing a bonzer job with your videos. Your attempt at an aussie accent was ace, no offence taken. Aussies love to shorten names etc, so Jen, Loges, keep up the good work cobbers you are doing great!

    Togs probably gets used more than bathers also . Pash is very 90's. Sanga definitely gets used. Maybe it's regional to QLD. Not sure. I know a lot of the Aussie slang started dying out in the 90's ... Fair Dinkum .. for example. But I think it's because the slang isn't really considered sophisticated; and is associated with the middle, and lower class.

    One minor correction - not all Bogans live in the bush or the outback. There are also plenty of them in the poorer parts of major citites, for example if you go half and hour to forty minutes west of Sydney you are in Bogan Central! They are not so much hillbillies and simple and uncultered people with very strong Australian accents. They usually love sport, cars with big engines and beer!

    I visited the US and I wondered about "every OTHER day"... Other than what? "Do you want wet or dry coffee"? Well a cup of dry coffee beans didn't sound appealing. "Do you want cream in your coffee"? No. I don't want the fat. Could I have milk instead? On my first visit I asked for a cup of WHITE coffee. The black serving lady responded in a huff. "We serve blacks and whites the same coffee here". When I was in school I learned about the three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gas. Even as a child I wondered about how USA managed to power its cars with GAS. And so on. I discovered that using English in the USA was less well understood than using English in France.
