Australian accent s really weird but I'll try to learn it coz I'm gonna there after three months

[KarenBlackburn]

I saw "rack off" meaning go away, but does "nick off or nic off" also mean go away cause I swear that's what John Farnham says to the audience on his concert DVDs?

[tiggerhug2]

Thanks for posting this! Was living in Australia (Mostly in Sydney area) for 2yrs and returned to home (Canada) last June. I miss true Aussie accent! Gotta practice more of those words so I won't forget but no Aussies around me. Maybe I should move to Whistler, BC. lol

P.S: I also love the word, loo! :P

[Amerikana09]

Really quite good I ´ve read a lot of Australian lit ,being Irish descendant I choose English Teaching as a proffesion and in my last course of studies ,I found quite useful to compare and contrast similarities and usages THKS A LOT CHEERS AS IN EE OR BYE BYE AS IN RP..)

[Thepenguindog]

wow im american and i would be so freaked out if somone came up to me and said " i like your thongs!"

[jaa93997]

vegemite = delicious

[4157jack]

the real aussie talk! i hate how people around my age of 18 19 put on a sorta fake american accent, just cause of the shows they watch on tele

[jess92981]

@4157jack

Maybe they don't realize they're doing it? If you hear an accent long enough, sometimes it starts to slip into your words. Or even just certain words or phrases said a lot. You hear something enough, you pick it up. Whaddya think?

[mike87422]

Auzzie Pride!!

[1jackiea]

Love It!!!Love Aussies!!!!

[kingpiekingpiepoo]

we do not say GDAY geddit

[auxetoiles]

@kingpiekingpiepoo actually, g'day has been back in standard parlance for at least the last 5 to 10 years, matey... and i'm talking about the major east coast capitals.

[littlemissredranga]

I'm Australian and i have never heard some of these!

[mercycollege123]

@littlemissredranga have you ever been outside the city?

[littlemissredranga]

@mercycollege123 I don't live in the city. i spend most of my time in the south easter suburbs but i go into country victoria heaps because my grandparents and aunty and uncle live there. You have to admit there are some odd ones in there.

[mercycollege123]

@littlemissredranga haha yeah I dunno we say most of those things here in WA especially in the country :P

[littlemissredranga]

@mercycollege123 Australia is pretty big so of corse there's going to be different slang:) aussie aussie aussie!

[AmayaHosokawa]

@littlemissredranga same.

[aedanman]

chuck a ubolt

[TheElfdreaming]

yep very good I hear and use all these and am from the second largest city (Melbourne).

[austrianpowder1304]

love how i have to watch videos like this to understand some people...lol

[LunaticLexie]

lol watching this made me realise how hard it must be for people to understand what we are saying sometimes :P

[catlover901]

Not sure if you're Australian or American, but really out of all of these words the only words Australians actually say are; bloke, brekkie, chewie, esky, mate, footy, maccas, prezzie, mozzie, servo, 'chuck a sickie', sunnies, thongs, arvo, beaut, and bikkie. :)

All of the other words in the video I (very) rarely hear anybody in Australia saying unless they're making fun of the Australian accent lol :P

[xXBrooke96Xx]

@catlover901 i am Australian, and yes, some are rarely said in the city, but if you go to more rural areas then im sure some of the other words would be more frequently used. I personally have heard numerous people use all of these words at some point or another, admittedly, not so much in the city areas of course, but whenever i go to the country and country towns, these type of slang words are used more, especially with men. :) Thanks for your comment though because you are partly right. :)

[ethanforster]

@xXBrooke96Xx I can personally guarantee that all these words are commonly used in my town. I live in Port Lincoln in SA.

[xXBrooke96Xx]

@ethanforster Yay! :) I live in Sydney :)

[HeyHeyDoYouLikeTacos]

@xXBrooke96Xx I'm from the Sunshine Coast, now Canberra, and I dead set say all of those on a daily basis lol

[Z03G]

a bikkie is like, iced vovos or scottish fingers or 'nice', you know those biccies with the sugar on them? mm...  anyway, and for me, a cookie is a choc chip cookie :) but thats just me so wutevslolz. i liked the video!! and i was singing along to the song <3

[xXBrooke96Xx]

@Z03G thats the same for me aswell but i call choc chip cookies choc chip biscuits.. but i think americans call all biscuits cookies so if there are any americans watching this they may not know what a biscuit is.. chances are they do, but just incase :) and thanks so much! haha, yeah, i thought the song was quite appropriate ;) <3

[FAB12UCB]

@xXBrooke96Xx You're forgetting the ones with chokkie bits and nuts. chokkie and hazelnut cookies. As i SAID, England uses many of the slang terms used in Australia.

[Polizz1000]

bikkie = biscuit..

and a biscuit is not a cookie... they are completely different!

you would usually have a biscuit with your coffee or tea, and they are small.

A cookie is just big and massive!

[xXFireCrystalWolfXx]

I've got one which always annoys me (Im Aussie)

Nappy= Diaper xP

[xXBrooke96Xx]

@xXFireCrystalWolfXx that one annoys me a lot too! a lot of my friends say 'diaper' and i always correct them and tell them its nappy cause it annoys me so so much.. same with dummy and pacifier

[mrvietnamyeunuoc]

dummie = dummy

[hatsthename]

[Musicismylife199722]

[mrallainmarcos]

From now on i will chuck a sickie once a weeckie, ockaye? I reallye thinckie its okaye when weye have severayals accenties and slangyes rounduous the world.

[lej274]

If you haven't heard of 'budgie smugglers' then you're either under 20yo or you don't get out much, especially to the beach! Just to be accurate they're simply not a reference to male 'swimming trunks' of any kind, because most Aussie blokes wear boardies (board shorts). It specifically refers to the 'Speedo' style of brief swimwear that leave little to the imagination.

[tysontom1]

I never heard anyone say budgie smugglers and I'm Australian

[kdeee69]

@tysontom1 Seriously if you haven't heard anyone say it then you must never get out or watch any TV, News or media or you live in the back of beyond and have zero need for a cossie.

[cyclonic4]

@tysontom1 You must never ever look at politics if you've never heard of budgie smugglers.........!!

[tysontom1]

@cyclonic4 do i give a fuck about tony abbott or that ranga

[halcontv]
