@hoichin the other was "Them's some nice apples!", which according to him is a way of saying that a lady has some rather shapely and attractive contents within the upper regions of her shirt!
@annaagenevieve lol remember when my american friend called it a fanny pack around our aussie friends (as if we didnt make enough jokes about him wearing it in the first place)
I've never heard anyone in NZ call it a rubber, hungeredone. Come to think of it . . . i've never heard anyone call it a "prophylactic device" either.
@hungeredone well i was saying before that they aussies and kiwis called erasers rubbers, and yanks called condoms rubbers. But i see the distinction was lost on you from your comic, read it again with that context and then look at your comment and see how pointless it was.
but we do eat Kangaroo? It's in all the supermarkets, not as popular as other red meats, but we do eat it. One of the highest sources of iron in meat.
@moletan I was surprised he said that since I had some at two different restaurants while in Adelaide, and there was a kangaroo meat stall at the market too. Oh, and the meat was delicious.
BTW we know what roundabouts are in America. Here they're called circles, but many are being phased out, it seems, since they're such a hazard. New Jersey is the home of the jughandle, a half-circle that diverts you to make a simple turn.
Anyway, translations of real Strine would be more useful. ;)
American here. Perhaps it's because of the Internet, but I don't think there are many differences. We call them thong sandals too; the phrase "a pair of thongs" makes that obvious. A thong can also be underwear or a bikini bottom that exposes the backside. I wasn't aware that Americans thought kangaroos are eaten there. But I think we do have the mistaken impression they're hopping down all the streets there, since they're on EVERYTHING to do with Oz. LOL.
@theliberalmedia08 I haven't heard thong for flip flops since the 80s, but yes, it's an American term too. And I've had kangaroo meat in Australia. Kangaroo actually do hop across a lot of streets the way deer run across US streets. There are signs warning drivers, just like we have deer ones. (Though I've found that squirrels here get Aussies excited.) Oh, and some Americans under 30 call women "dude," which drives me crazy. Have had to tell younger women colleagues to stop calling me that.
@Tracymmo where were you when you saw Kangaroos in the streets, hell my city only has 300,000 people and I've never seen a kangaroo in any of our streets. I have to go a little ways out to see any
@mintgumdropz1 I had the impression "mate" is only used between males. To say "mate" to a woman is kind of like calling a woman in America "dude." Maybe it doesn't rise to the level of being offensive, but it's just odd.
@aortablue i'm glad to hear that. Made me think that Aussie men never put the glass down. Lots of misrepresentation,I think, on this presenter... ? Hmmm
I was sitting here thinking that Aussie men were either very heath- conscious or... very fruit- perverted. lol
( Would make more sense to call tits " peaches..." Oh, wait. I much prefer the fruit, peaches to apples. Scratch that idea. I'm not gay/ bi, so I'll keep it at " apples" ... ???
He might be referring to the American phrase "How do ya like THEM apples?" which is your grandpa's way of saying "How bout that!" or more often "In your face! I win/you lose!" It's old fashioned, but some people still use it for fun.
But there's NO way to rephrase "How do ya like them apples?" You can't say, "Them are some nice apples." or "Give me your opinon of those apples, sir." That would not work!
@danseventyseven I know, right? I'm from AUS-TRAIL-I-A, a country with four syllables in the name. This guy is really annoying me, just because nobody I know uses some of the slang that he mentioned. And I'm pretty sure anyone could figure out what a roundabout is...
@TaureanGirl11 - Australia**. Why does everyone online write "Austrailia"? Anyway, I'm from QLD and heaps of people say exactly what he said - also, there are heaps of roundabouts here, and I once saw an American drive the wrong way around one and end up on the island part. It was hilarious because he had an American flag sticker and a pair of balls hanging down off the bumper. ^_^ LOL
Mate isn't used to people we don't know either its usually used with close mates we know and associates like blokes who we'll have a yarn with at the pub regularly when we're there but dont always hang with it's more a mutual respect term nowadays.
I always thought apples was "alright" as in if someone falls or trips but is okay, "naw, he'll be apples in no time" maybe I'm misinformed as well but that's what I heard.
I have lived in Australia my whoooole fucking life, I was born here and by the end of this year it'll be 23 years on this rock sticking out of the ocean for me.
...But I have never heard of a pair of chesticles being referred to as 'apples', in Australia.
this guy wasn't born in australia, he has german parents. he is doing a very poor impersonation,........................... in his whole life he's never said "how ya gaarrrnn carrnt?", or "farrkk it's hot!"......he's a pussy...........apple's for tits?? what a cocksock
this guy wasn't born in australia, he has german parents. he is doing a very poor impersonation,........................... in his whole life he's never said "how ya gaarrrnn carrnt?", or "farrkk it's hot!"......he's a pussy...........apple's for tits?? what a cocksock
why the fuck would you tell american's that thongs arent g-strings its our one chance to secretly ask a drity question to tourists and if they get offended you can get away with it easily
Interesting, in kiwi, we'd say, "We sure beat the shit outta you aussies in rugger." but in Australian it comes out as: "We sure let those All Blacks run all over us eh mate!" In kiwi: "Hey, shout us a beer mate." In Aussie: "Hey, shout us a beer mate or I'll grab yer sheila's apples." I think, whether Kiwi, Aussie or Canadian, it's really been: "Hey lass, show us yer tits." all along, with nary an apple in sight.
this guy doesnt know anything about Australia don't listen to him this is a massive fail vid no one sas dem some nice apples and u dont call everyone a m8t its mostly just guys in pubs something to know is dont say u fell on your fanny it doesnt mean the same thing also no one says sheila except drunk bogans dont go to australia thinking its gonna be like crocodile Dundee or Steve Erwin its not although i may have actually ruined the fun there we like to mess with Americans
I'm American. We have kangaroo meat at a health food restaurant down the street. We say "thongs" for flip flops too. Lots of drunk people in my neighborhood. And my generation grew up watching Croc Dundee so we know what a Sheila is. I guess we're not so different after all! :D
You can get kangaroo meat really easily. It's sometimes a bit pricier than beef or lamb, but it's great...and really healthy because there's very little fat on it.
Lol... the part of America im from does.. i live in California.... but like instead of the Traffic going to the Left.. it goes to the right.. like it does in the rest of america.. but yeah.. Lmao
the influence on our accents are different for example i live in Victoria and my accent resembles more a South African accent than per se a Queenslander who's accent has has more of a Scottish influence so they sound more like New Zealanders
in the southern Riverina they sound like us because Victoria is where theyre ancestors came from prior to emigrating here, but the further north you go the accents and pronounciation of certain words like "castle" and "dance" change
about halfway up the coast accents start to change to become a lot more scottish influence but not enough to sound like New Zealanders (thats just the easiest way i could explain it) in short the influence on our accents are different the same applies to Perth where you may find that they speak almost with an English accent with possibly a hint of South African
actually towrong. in australia we call thongs (as in the shoe) thongs. we also call g strings thongs. we dont call them flip flops so i dont know what your thinking
or this video was made in the 50's/using only data from wiki, either one.
i did love the way you got off on the wrong foot right away though with the whole kangaroo/eagle comparison. most of us have eaten kangaroo and live within 15 mins drive of somewhere that sells it. we call those places supermarkets.
no no thongs and sandles are different, thongs are basicly no roof shoes, a place to seperate your big toe form the other 4 and thats about it, as for a sandel, well you know what that is
@TheGeeksftw It's only melons in the US since every idiot in California decided to get DDD implants. Apples actually sound more normal, but they probably should say avocados. Who wants to have breasts shaped like apples or oranges? LOL.
I hate it when foreigners (esp americans) use the word 'mate'. No-one calls me mate and I don't call anyone mate. It is an affection and no-one really uses it unless they are trying to be Aussie (like a Texan saying 'Ya-All come back now, ya hear" - who says that?).
I HATE the term "Downunder". It sounds like something a polite older lady wound say to her gynacologist. Invented by thick Americans "Uptop". " Say Mildred, where is Australia?" . "Why look, Chip, it's right here on our globe/bar, downunder"
We used to say thongs for sandals that we now call flip-flops. I guess we changed it right about the time that thong under garments became fashionable. Didn't want to confuse anyone.
In America, we say 'up Shit Creek' or we say 'up the creek without a paddle'. I think those are similar enough that all Americans should be able to understand the Australian version without any problem. I surprised so few Americans know what 'fuck all' means. I've always known. It's common in British movies and books.
whats with the kangaroo meat shit. u can buy kangaroo every where these days in australia it's socialy exceptable to eat the animals on our national emblem. also another word for roundabout is a rotory so thats what else u could call it
i don't know where this guy gets his info, but most americans know what thongs are, a lot of older people call them thongs here. roundabouts? are you kidding me? we have those....what else would you even call them? mate? lol, ok i wont even go there, this guy must think hes educating the public with his not so secretive "australian" slang...yeah right, as if i didnt know what "mate" and shela meant because i'm american. what a fucking joke
Uncultured? Right, I'm uncultured. I've only visited about 2 dozen countries in the past 3 years alone, so you're obviously correct. I'm curious though, am I "uncultured" because I'm American, or because i think the guy in this video is an idiot for thinking Americans don't know what "mate" means?
do you know what the definition of uncultured is? look, just because the guy in the video is a tool, doesn't mean im somehow uncultured....or that i don't appreciate australia. get off your fucking high horse, and stop trying to piss people off on youtube, which by looking at your channel , happens quite frequently. you havn't pissed this one off!
I don't think he's saying you don't know what mate means, I think he's just warning you that people are going to call you mate whether you know them or not - some people get a little touchy about it.
Hey guys,
Just wanna say on behalf of Australia that we aren't all douchey like this guy.

So what do you call an apple? Like the fruit.
knarf0321 2 years ago
Honestly, we just call apples (the fruit) "apples".
I'm an Aussie and I don't think I've ever heard anyone refer to breasts as "apples".

@TheGeeksftw It's only melons in the US since every idiot in California decided to get DDD implants. Apples actually sound more normal, but they probably should say avocados. Who wants to have breasts shaped like apples or oranges? LOL.

I hate it when foreigners (esp americans) use the word 'mate'. No-one calls me mate and I don't call anyone mate. It is an affection and no-one really uses it unless they are trying to be Aussie (like a Texan saying 'Ya-All come back now, ya hear" - who says that?).

trying to be aussie, lmao your an idiot m8,
i use the term in everyday language, same with silly old bugger, bloody oath, settle nevel ect
yanks just think we chuck on the accent really thick when saying it
alot of my m8s use the term
and my whole family dose
and no im not from the country
just cos you don't use the term dosn't mean others don't
the reason you don't use it
is probs cos your friends and family arn't very australian orientated
and have sunk in with yank fads

I HATE the term "Downunder". It sounds like something a polite older lady wound say to her gynacologist. Invented by thick Americans "Uptop". " Say Mildred, where is Australia?" . "Why look, Chip, it's right here on our globe/bar, downunder"

Kangaroo is relatively common in Australia as far as meets go...

meat, it is spelled meat, a kangaroo meet would be a bunch of kangaroos gathering in some place for some reason.
i might seem like a spelling nazi but god damn how hard is it?

We used to say thongs for sandals that we now call flip-flops. I guess we changed it right about the time that thong under garments became fashionable. Didn't want to confuse anyone.

there're a fuck load more things that are far more important that he could have said:
I got fuck all money left - believe it or not, most yanks don't know what this means (met plenty o canadians who know it tho),
translation: I have very little money left.
next:
We're up shit creek in a barb wire canoe.
means... we're fucked.
maybe i should shut up and make a video about this...
& defs agree with the last comment, Kangaroo meet is actually alright, just has fuck all fat in is so it's tough.
blahblah262686 2 years ago 3
In America, we say 'up Shit Creek' or we say 'up the creek without a paddle'. I think those are similar enough that all Americans should be able to understand the Australian version without any problem. I surprised so few Americans know what 'fuck all' means. I've always known. It's common in British movies and books.
kittyprydekissme 2 years ago
what about how yanks always refure to pissed as angry
but aussies use it as a term for getting drunk and angry lol can be confuseing to them.
or commen terms like fair dinkom, bloody oath, bugger (means to assfuck to yanks) as well as manny others lol
but yeh like u said there are heeps of more usefull ones lol

sampur999 2 years ago
i don't know where this guy gets his info, but most americans know what thongs are, a lot of older people call them thongs here. roundabouts? are you kidding me? we have those....what else would you even call them? mate? lol, ok i wont even go there, this guy must think hes educating the public with his not so secretive "australian" slang...yeah right, as if i didnt know what "mate" and shela meant because i'm american. what a fucking joke

Uncultured? Right, I'm uncultured. I've only visited about 2 dozen countries in the past 3 years alone, so you're obviously correct. I'm curious though, am I "uncultured" because I'm American, or because i think the guy in this video is an idiot for thinking Americans don't know what "mate" means?

hey dumbass jus cuz you visited 24+ countries, doesnt mean you gave a shit about their culture, which you probably didnt, you uncultured swine.
FFXGuitar 2 years ago
do you know what the definition of uncultured is? look, just because the guy in the video is a tool, doesn't mean im somehow uncultured....or that i don't appreciate australia. get off your fucking high horse, and stop trying to piss people off on youtube, which by looking at your channel , happens quite frequently. you havn't pissed this one off!
pangeo4eva 2 years ago
I don't think he's saying you don't know what mate means, I think he's just warning you that people are going to call you mate whether you know them or not - some people get a little touchy about it.
