Aussie American Dictionary

[AFFTL]

Where did I say that Australian was a language. The American in the video said, I have to translate Australian to English. Implying that people in Australia speak a different language. Learn how to read.

[AFFTL]

Australian to English really, give it a rest.

[0s0e0a0n0100]

@AFFTL . australian is english you are not smart if you think australian is a different language

[buffalo827]

lol

[ConceptGalaxy]

Is there any kind of Aussie slang for someone who studies too much?

[AFFTL]

@ConceptGalaxy You can't go wrong with Geek.

[atkinson661]

HAHAH I LIVE IN MISSOURI

[Jordmate]

@atkinson661 Glad you liked it - Bryce and I had great fun making it!

[mumandtwins]

clever

[Jordmate]

@mumandtwins Thanks heaps - Bryce is a great friend and it was wonderful to meet him in person after getting to know each other via YoutTube. We are worlds apart physically (on different continents) but so close in spirit and friendship.

[mumandtwins]

@Jordmate well we do have to educate them LOL

[civilwarcat]

Very funny! The Aaaaahhh!!! was hilarious:-)

[Jordmate]

@civilwarcat Thanks Nora

[333holly333]

This was awesome! It got funnier as the video went along. I loved the books one. LOL! Also, "Underwear for men" versus "Ahhhh...." :D

[couchpotatotheatre]

Very informative and interesting. The Cup holder is something I've never seen on a shopping cart before.

[MicheleMidnight]

lol liked the book one best!

[TomKiesche]

reminds me of a song!

you say cart, I say trolley

[Jordmate]

@TomKiesche Tom, you crack me up .... Ha ha ;)

[KimberlyAnne618]

this cracked me up! and here a trolley is an old fashioned bus or tram you ride through older parts of larger cities or...those things you ride from the parking lot up to an amusement park : ) looks like y'all had fun! : )

[Jordmate]

@KimberlyAnne618 Ha ha .... that sounds so cool. I love taking the kids to those places. America certainly has some cool amusement parks that we would love to visit ! ;)

[meerkatlibrarian]

lol. You're funny Richard. When are you coming home?

[Jordmate]

@meerkatlibrarian Hi Olivia, I arrived home last Sunday, I've been at work for a week and the jet-lag almost killed me. But I wouldn't have missed the trip for the world ;)

[Ivansvideocollection]

I loved it! A big thumbs up for that! :)

[Jordmate]

@Ivansvideocollection Thanks Ivan, it was great fun being in the States and listening to you guys talk ;)

[Jordmate]

@melindagilman Ha ha, thanks Melinda. We should have had Jubba do some also

[joehandsome99]

Very entertaining and clever!

How many videos were made in 3 days?

Eric

[Jordmate]

@joehandsome99 ha ha ... Eric Your so talented! I reckon we made about 20 videos so far and there's still heaps in post production.

[Cazzie11]

Fun video! I love noticing the differences between the two places.

[Jordmate]

@Cazzie11 Thanks for your comment Cazzie - great to hear from you. I love your "this won't buy the baby's dress or pay for the one it's wearing"! These type of quotes come from the type of things native Australians say. My Grand mother always said ... "Reach me down a star"! This was most often mentioned when she was in shear frustration ;)

[VirtuallyAddicted]

This is why I always travel with a translator. :P

Though I tend to eat my food more than I read it. Probably why I'm fat. :O

[Jordmate]

@VirtuallyAddicted Great advice James. Ha ha. I think you are right not to read the food most of the time.

[AcesWorld80]

LOL... This is pretty funny...

Great video!!!

[Jordmate]

@AcesWorld80 Hey Hi Miguel, this was a fun shopping trip with Bryce. Great weekend with you guys.

[DoubleODude]

Great video.

[Jordmate]

@DoubleODude Thanks Dude!

[StephanieIAm]

hahahahaha funny funny. I love this video!

[Jordmate]

@StephanieIAm Hi Stephanie, it was great fun making the video, how are you?

[TastingAshes]

LOL loved it! ...trolly huh? strange :)

[Arthur40TwoDent]

Cool to see the variations.

Did you do some of the other pronunciations, like Aluminum and Oregano

[Jordmate]

@Arthur40TwoDent Yes Nick I should have asked my friends about those words - Maybe next time.

[DavinDaGeek]

lmao, Turkey, Turkey.

[Jordmate]

@DavinDaGeek Yep Davin, seems like we do have some things in common

[Jordmate]

@fragmat Hey John it's interesting to hear you say that. The Yanks are such cool dudes, hey! I love the comments people make on this video, it's such an education!

[GUIDOBRAT]

Jord...please tell me if "Crikey !!" is in the Oz/Yank dictionary...?? lol

[Jordmate]

@GUIDOBRAT Oh yes for sure - we can thank Steve for that one. I reckon crikey means the same in both dictionaries "Unbelievable", "Exciting"

[GUIDOBRAT]

@Jordmate

a very close friend of mine, Lara ( from Brisbane in Queensland) was living here in the states back in the late 80's (in Wilmington, North Carolina) and she used to say "tucker" a lot...I found out it meant food....but I never asked the derivation.

[ER92840]

Love this guys! Now I am prepared when I go to Australia some day! Thanks for sharing!

[AskNurseLisa]

ice poles?????really.......that is hilarious

[Jordmate]

@AskNurseLisa We are weird aren't we hey Lisa?

[detkicker]

First time I seen this. This was such a great video. Loved it

[Jordmate]

@detkicker Hey Mike, great , I'm so pleased you liked the video. Bryce and I filmed it when we were shopping whilst staying at your place last weekend. We had such a great weekend with you. I only wish we could still be there with you. Big hugs to ya mate! Love ya heaps!

[TheDarksEmpyrean]

Aeroplane Jelly, really? LOL! thanks for the lesson..fizzy drink

[Jordmate]

@TheDarksEmpyrean yes it is an education, hey ;)

[biggydman]

Bryce, that was a really well done video. Hilarious!! This is one of the best so far from the the Kicker trip!! I could see this one going viral!!

[Jordmate]

@biggydman Thanks Troy, it was such fun doing this and we have only just scratched the surface.

[biggydman]

@Jordmate I like the time release idea. It takes your amazing week and stretches it out a lot longer.

[WORRO01]

hahaaaa,, good video, and great idea. thumbs up! Brobryce, only correction is in the South(best part of the great ol USA) is every "fizzy drink" or "pop" is a coke,, dont matter what type drink you go in for you always say for example "im gonna stop up here and get me a coke" when in fact u might walk out with a sprite,, its all coke hehe.

[Jordmate]

@WORRO01 Yeah I heard that - interesting so much can be made common like that. Are you thirsty?

[WORRO01]

@Jordmate Matter of fact Mate, I was very thirsty, and downed me some good fresh cool water :)

[Jordmate]

@WORRO01 Ha ha, that's great stuff that water hey John.

[hallbe]

How do you say Naomi Campbell?

[Jordmate]

@hallbe We should have tried some of the pronoun-cations

[benzone50]

Very informative and entertaining guys!

[Jordmate]

@benzone50 Thanks heaps - we should have made more.

[oldvision]

I want more of this!!! Aussies (and mindpowered Yanks) rock! No worries Richard, I understand you perfectly.

[Jordmate]

@oldvision No worries mate ... you seem to have us worked out Gary ;)

[nothadnotbad]

i refer to oatmeal as vomit in a box

[Jordmate]

@nothadnotbad True ... haha

[bannol]

@nothadnotbad Then waddaya call grits?

[Laoch111]

I refer to oatmeal as porridge.

[Jordmate]

@Laoch111 Great stuff Porridge - I make it every morning - yum

[TrueBlueAustralian]

Aluminum...!!

Jordmate ask one of them to cook you Biscuits and gravy for breakfast..

It will blow your mind..

And they like it.!!!

[Jordmate]

@TrueBlueAustralian Pauly, that would be so cool!

[TastingAshes]

@TrueBlueAustralian LOL Im trying to wrap my mind around cookies being called biscuits still :)

[Jordmate]

@TastingAshes we like them biscuits.

[debdownunder]

@TrueBlueAustralian I am an american living in australia and I miss biscuits and gravy! they are fantastic!

[TrueBlueAustralian]

@debdownunder Every Aussie i have shown it too says YUK... Sorry :P

[debdownunder]

@TrueBlueAustralian thats ok... I have a long list of wierd aussie foods that I dont like... just a few are vegemite, chicko rolls, dagwood dogs and musk sticks - the candy that tastes like bad perfume! lol... some things only taste good to the people that grow up with them :) AND if aussies were able to try PROPER biscuits and homemade sausage gravy instead of imagining a scone with the bad gravy from the takeaway shop I am sure many would be converts :))))))

[Jordmate]

@debdownunder True, and I do like to try new things ... are you shouting? ;)

[debdownunder]

@Jordmate no :) I'm not shouting :) just emphasising... I am a polite american ;)
