well to understand "my cat kicked the bucket" is easy...its a metaphor for "my car died"....i understand that and im AUSTRIAN (not Australian). Just a little bit of thinking is needed and you understand what the aussies mean^^
Hi, thx for giving u comment, maybe the topic of the film I didn't use properly, sorry about that. I don't wanna let people who feel bad/sad about the Aussie English. To create this film, I'm from the view of the interesting Aussie's slang and phrase using in their life conversation, every country has their own local slang or phrase, if we are not that native, we won't understand either. Therefore, this is the spirit of behind this film. Cheers~
Hi, before I did this video, I did some research about the Aussie's slang and phrase, and I found the book which is called "Australian Phrasebook" published by Lonely Planet - 2 Edition. So all the slang my actor said, he just followed my script. I think maybe the book is in the old edition and in nowadays many of slang or phrase which Australian don't use them anymore, so if someone got upset or unhappy after watched it, I feel sorry about that. Cheers~
nah you're right, most of this stuff is still used, but in the more regional areas. Although since australia has such an urbanized population thats still not many people.
i never hear aussie say kick the bucket...
