Some Aussie slang you might find interesting

[muteland]

cheers! you are very nice dog lover!

[niteling]

she sounds kiwi

[lynnej1970]

OR WE SAY THIS IS MY OTHER HALF WHEN INTRODUCING BOYFRIEND/HUSBAND..

[twiki87]

Did she just call her other dog 'Flea Bag' lol I'm Australian and thats what we call all dogs in general

[verticalsmurf]

A dag is someone who is badly dressed or socially awkward. Gobsmacked means speechless, Ocker is a form of language, it's rhyming slang (porky-pie - lie) . I haven't heard rippa used since I was a kid, I wish that one would come back. Great vid!

[ivantwill]

no wuckers!

[GimmeKitty]

Beaut, mate!

[Sevensstone]

Thanks V, I knew half of them, but the rest are very interesting :)

[jason48073]

Interesting. Thanks.

[tabatha94]

you sound exstremely new zealander at the beginning.. then soooo aussie in the middle ahha.

[caitlynrachelle101]

i love her accent!!!!

[idahoMW]

Ruby, what a beauty!

An Aussie mate told me a funny one, budgie smuggler, for Speedos.

[raymondbuz]

An esky here in U.S. is a cooler !  A cont.

to hold ice tokeep things cool !

[tannalv]

There is definitely something there. Where aussies go "wuuuhds", she goes "wuuuurrrds".

A slight american undertone to her accent perhaps?

[fifibella00]

that and maybe a bit kiwi??

[snozzcumbers]

i think its a bit of NZ

[thexev]

you sound like you have a bit of an american accent, when you pronounce R. lol, aussies are so lazy with R's. you go from dinner, to dinnah. lol.

[thexev]

er, not you as in you personally. i meant aussies in general =/ i shouldn't comment when i'm sleepy. i make no sense.

[manque15]

Hey that's ok . You are absolutely right. I'm from Invercargill in New Zealand where we have retained a bit of the Scottish accent and we roll our 'r's...you should hear my brothers and sisters some of them have really strong accents.

[thexev]

oh invercargill! i love the accent there. i love scottish accents too. it totally sounds more like that area now that i listen again.

[Randomeshows]

Yer but to us you say it to much

"lets go for some dinnaR"

[jaidee76]

Not always, move out of Australia for a long time (more than 5 years) and you drift apart from the "average aussie". You see the whole culture thing differently.

[6ish0]

i moved frm NZ nd i like da aussie crikt slangs..like corker nd ripper!..haha

[jediganesh]

lol! ofcourse...but I must tell you that my Indian cooking isn't that great. However I believe I can fire up a pretty good chick pea curry. :P Not too sure if that makes it to the "Special Meals" category.

[jediganesh]

I moved from India and the Indian English is very different from what they speak in the rest of the world.

[manque15]

oh oh I love indian food...you can come cook some special meals for me aye lol :)

[jediganesh]

that was informative. thanks! when i first arrived in Australia 3 years back I found it quite difficult to understand some of the local slangs. How I wish I had this video then. :) Oh and btw your dog is beautiful.

[manque15]

where abouts did you move from?

[radbrent]

Nice video! And that dog is beautiful! I love it!

[krismurder]

when i read it back it ounds harsher than it ment lol. but yeah i was just stating (:

[krismurder]

i never said they could i said they use wordds like bloke and ace etc.

and that is crap my cousins lived in america movedack to aus and picked up again so yeah. :/

not that you would know.

[krismurder]

i miss being able to speak slang, a few english use slang, but not the same, im australian and i live in england (stupid family moving here) and my accent aint as strong anymore :( i dont liek the way english speak

[manque15]

hi..yeah I do, Im a kiwi but been here for 30 something years ...

[kiwaussiegirl]

Onya Mate.....Nice one!!!

[forphuksake]

bugger me i use the term missus all the time

[runningaway8]

Hope this doesn't offend, you sound a little bit like kath and kim baha :) (the australian one obviously, none of that US version crap!)

I think Bogan's the best slang word :) BAHA love it! But I generally use it out of context now...I say it to people half the time as a friendly insult even if they really aren't really HAHA :)

[ToiletGreece]

Gobsmacked = Don't know what to say or reply?

[phatanie]

thought u were a kiwi but yea that one was great. Prob best one i have seen so far. Dont ask why im lookin up aussie acents when im aussie. Was just bored out of my skull. see ya later mate xoxo

[VOSBMX]

HaHa a KIWI, teaching english speaking people the ins and outs of Aussie slang. Talk about ironic!

[jagadeeshplaspak]

I would appreciate the videos of this kind coz they help someone who deserately want to get used to aussie slang (which is one of the hardest slangs to master I guess). Thank you anyway.

[toothlesstanner]

aww Ruby is adorable =)

[trickynic66]

Do i detect some kiwi accent there? Onya, mate

[manque15]

busted :)

I came to Australia when I was 16 :)

[fcukme88]

do you not have teen kids?

im 19 and yes we do still use boyfriend / girlfriend. dont know where u got that from

[ijason2]

Oh my goodness, you are HILARIOUS!! I am subscribing :)

[manque15]

6 white boomers ?? whats that and water? I dont understand.

[Chadhead]

I'm from Alaska we call an esky a cooler.

We didnt use em much LOL

Now that I live in NSW they're eskys. I own two and my mates call me eskimo

[herbieluvbug05]

I met someone from Australia and when they heard the Americans talking about their "Fanny Packs" she was completely embarrassed and couldn't believe the language that Americans used.

She later learned that "Fanny Pack" was a form of a purse worn around the waist

In Australia it means "Female Genitals" :-)

[Chadhead]

Fanny pack doesnt mean "female genitals" Fanny does on its own. To an Aussie Fanny pack is a great way to say you had a good fanny packing.

[manque15]

when I hear fanny pack I think of bumbag

[manque15]

yeah its my left over accent from southland nz...its remnants of the scottish language

[Thriplebuttix]

sound like a kiwi to me. find your own heritage

[manque15]

yet my family in NZ reckon I'm all Aus...been here for 31 years, how long you been here?

[unclelaz]

yeah she does sound like a kiwi still, but so what? aussie slang is now heritage, that can only be used by people born here?

dickhead.

[Thriplebuttix]

Knob Jockey!

[duduleob]

i've been looking for aussie slangs on youtube, and all I can do is thank all the people that have made videos about it... I'm going to Oz in august and I'm kinda trying to learn some slang words in advance! seems like I'm gonna have to RElearn english \o/ good thing the aussies know that they have a precious and different english so they make videos for us \o/ hahahaha thankyall! cheers!

[shoegal1490]

hii lol i recommend that you probably don't consciously use aussie slang when you're here coz there's nothing that makes ppl crack up more than hearing tourists say things out of context and we also don't use a lot of the aussie slang words day to day. Just come and have fun - but i like you're effort. =)

[manque15]

Shoegals right...we don't walk around spewing slang all the time but at least when you hear it you know what people are talking about.

[duduleob]

hehehehehe no worries, I won't go saying slangwords hehehe but it's good not to be completely lost while people try talking to you lol hehehe Thank you guys, and I swear I won't try speaking like you huahuAhua i know you guys like taking the piss when people try some aussie pronunciation, I appreciate it though, i'll just let it go hehe cheers!

[twodoggzz]

fair dinkum: No shit

[sherribailey75]

ruby is precious! please show us fleabag next.

[teejers01]

HEY! I thought you were a Kiwi!

[manque15]

god Ive been here for 30 years, think that qualifies me to talk about aussie slang :)

[runningaway8]

oh wait, trackie dacks :|

thats another HAHA. I just say trackies but...LOL thats still slang i think?

Bad thing is I don't even know whats slang and not these days. I speak to friends overseas and I'll be speaking and they'll be like 'what was that?' and I hardly realise that half the words I say are ONLY said in australia...weird ay?

[manque15]

I say trackie daks too...and it's the same for me when my friend came here to, I had to double take a few words :) We do it every day without realising it.
