  • Real Aussies dont say: JUNK!! They say : Rubbish or :Sh!t or Crap

  • US: Truck, Aussie: Ute, British: Lorry.

    i can speak a bit english... we learn that in school.

    But i just like the accent so much that maybe when i can skype with someone, my accent will change a bit , into australian.

    Soooo pleaaase SOMEBODY :D

  • It's not 'Australian English' mate... it's Strine...!!!

  • Where I'm from we call soda, soft drink POP... Shortened from soda pop. soda is more of a southern thing... Pop is more of a midwest northern thing.

  • technically, a 'ute' is what we call a pick up, but a truck or pickup truck has the same name in Australia, but foreign companies couldn't tell the difference so they advertised them as utes.

  • Tbh aussie speak the same as us english but have the accent on it thats all!

  • Hi! I'm an Australian in Spain and I use your video to introduce Aussie to my classes too! :) You are the fame monster! (Thanks for posting)

  • Never heard of a Service station, its a gas station here in sydney,

    And i would like to say one thing, OUT WITH UNCLE SAM.

    Most important thing i could say really. O.o

  • please make videos

  • you forgot custard and pudding. pudding in Australia isnt custard is like a cake thing. or fish fingers and fish sticks. or they call scones a biscuit... wtf?!

  • ummm , hello , ... i'm Arabic , i live in Dubai , .. and i love English soooo much .

    i can talk both : American and UK accent

    but ... the Australian tone is kinda ( i know nothing about it ) ...!!!

    i mean .. i can recognize the American accent and the English ..

    but when i hear the ( Australian ) i always think that it's English ,,

    and i donn knw why !! ..

    so.. what to do ??

  • @noshah26 Don't worry, most American native speakers of English can't tell and Australian from a English accent. Just ask the person where they're from if you're confused. British English has 3x the number of speakers than Australian English, though, so bear that in mind.

  • @ProtestantsRUs ohhhh.. ok .. i guess i'll ask them .. thanx a lot ^^ ..

  • @noshah26

    Build a tower LOL

  • You're camera looks really good, it looks professional.

  • most of the Australian words are just the normal UK words.

  • French Canadian is very Different from French

  • in the phils we all call sodas "soft drink"

  • What USA calls Jelly, Australia call Jam.

    What Australia calls Jelly, USA call Jello

  • We don't call it a servo in WA/Perth. We call it a petrol Station. Someone From the Eastern Stats was in perth and he asked me where the servo was and I was like, what do you mean? So He went to the next person and asked the same question, and that guy had no idea as well lol.

    So it's like the Eastern Stats and WA are worlds apart as well lol.

  • @Whiting1289 Agree! You guys pick us "Eastern Stater's" as soon as we open our mouth. We say "your from West OZ" but you seem to always say "Ah, an Eastern Stater" ... never heard of that before I'd been over LOL

  • @Whiting1289 hmmm, melbourne-born, sydney-raised girl here, and my circle of acquaintance use servo/service station and petrol station interchangeably (^_^) i think most people in the eastern states recognise either...

  • are you matt mitcham?

  • @lukethmpsn I was going to post the same thing

  • And if a student asks a teacher, "excuse me miss, can I borrow a rubber?" he's asking for an eraser.

  • "Mate, it's your shout, can you get me a stubby from the esky?" As a Canadian, that one threw me for a loop in Australia!

  • the reason we say ''trunk'' in America when talking about cars is because up until the late 1930's cars had literally trunks strapped to the back. :-)

  • oh shit i can only imagine what will become of me when i move to Aus next march, as english is no my native language. Lol to that

  • oh man.. I've lived in australia for 7 years and never heard of Dummy & service station..

    FYI new yorkers drop the "r" for words ending with "-er" just like most australians.

    oh yeah: Cilantro / Coriander, To Stay&To Go/Have here&takeaway, baby strollers/pram.

  • I'M CANADIAN! YAY CHARLES! My homeboy!!

  • ah! now YOU have a REAL australian accent! OK all you people out there who think australians ALL speak with some psuedo cockney ocker type of dialect! Listen to this guy! This is it...we aren't all into the 'strine' thing :P

  • what americans call faucet , we call a sink. but im not sure

  • Actually Truck does not translate to Ute. Truck is the same for both. A Ute is a Pick-up.

  • OYE ! OYE MATE ! COOOLM DOWN MATE ! OYE ! XD HAHAHAHHAHAHAAHA

  • What do you call Jacket in Australia?

  • @RendyRuban everything is generally a jumper. it's a blanket term. you can be more specific but everything is a jumper

  • @sarcasmisnotdead Ah, I see. Thanks for helping me. I'm moving to Australia this year so...you know, I've been browsing some Australian Language videos...

  • @RendyRuban The difference between jacket and jumper is a jacket is like a waist coat with zip or button-up front and has a collar and sometimes pockets. A jumper is usually knitted compared to a Pullover (or Sloppy Joe) which is smooth outside and "fluffy" inside, like the material the "Hoodie" is made of and sometimes called a Wind Cheater!

  • good job mate, most of these kind of videos portray us as retard bogans

  • @Psychoticalchoholic I don't know what bogan means, but all of you who say that word really look like bogans to me xD

  • "so" = sowr (?)

  • faucet vs tap?

  • This video made me realise how American influenced we all are! But I use American slangs sometimes. I laughed at Servo. xD

  • 5 people sneezed really hard and were disorientated for the rest of the video.

  • Same language technically, different dialect, not all that different

  • I think it would be interesting to include Texas, USA slang to the mix. What do y'all think?

  • @ayumiayumi8213 oh cuz i really like this hair style :)

  • good on ya mate

  • SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LICK MY CUNT WITH THAT AUSTRALIAN TONGUE OF YOURS!

  • You realise all of those "australian" words are English right...?

  • Wait, Americans call scones biscuits?! But they're scones! Freaking weirdos

  • @TheCharnstar I call scones scones and im from Conneticut, USA

  • @LuckyKim133 so what do u call a biscuit then?

  • @77minniemouse if its like a cookie then a cookie if not tell me what you mean by that

  • @TheCharnstar You are an idiot. I call a scone, a scone. I believe this delectable treat comes from England, so for you to call a biscuit a scone, makes you the freak.

  • @MrInstiputo Well that all depends on whether he's saying that you call biscuits scones or if you call scones biscuits. I didn't even think of it the other way around... I mean, I've never heard any Australians call anything but scones scones.. Those fluffy doughy things you eat with cream and jam. And yes... that's what I was saying... to call a biscuit a scone is stupid... because biscuits are nothing like scones

  • I don't know how I got here but... you're beautiful... O.O

  • I was searching for differences among english varieties and I found you :) English is not my mother tongue but I absolutely love your accent! cool :)

  • All the words you seem to say as opposed to US English mostly fall under British English, sir. It's pretty much the same in India (with foot path and nappies and so on), but with a healthy sprinkling of American slang.

  • Australia. The only country where you call your bestfriend a cunt :P

  • Ghetto people say nappy when talking about ugly hair :3

  • @Dredayne ooh yeah, i've heard that one too

  • OMG we watched this in my ENG class, cause we learning about Australian Slang and when you said the Pacifier bit and said "What the fuck is that" The whole class just went off laughing haha

  • @MrTurkgod Wow.. So i'm like a school teacher now?! cool! thanks for letting me know!

  • @TabloidJunk I've literally been trying to find something about Australian slang for an English assignment for about an hour now.. Every has swearing in it! God damn it Australia, why do we have such fucking bad swearing habits?

  • I like the way you say Scone the American way.

  • YESS!! SERVO!! HAHAHAAHAAHAH I love saying it :D

  • SO TRUE!!!

  • zomfg your a hottie lamotie <3 lol

  • @carterquesnelleTV Why thank you ;)

  • @TabloidJunk your quite welcome ;)

  • @TabloidJunk You ever watched Mystery Science Theater 3000? I find it interesting that one of the characters is called Tom "Servo." XP XD Especially since he's a robot. XD LOL.

  • I'm a non-native speaker (I'm Italian, I live in France so English is my third language) and I found Aussie people quite hard to understand; it's going better now I'm getting used to it. I wish I'll visit your wonderful country one day. Ciao!

  • Americans say 'supermarket' too, I think it just became more common to say Grocery Store. It's amazing how certain words are completely different in another country although we use the same language to communicate, and we can use that same language to communicate what is different about it.

  • i miss Aussie Slang....if only i was there a bit longer to "pick up" that accent!....

  • A couple there I didn't know! Thanks, I find it interesting! :)

  • trolly ? i guess you aussies are all trolled

  • Isn't that basically English English? :p

  • @SkunkVS69 i don't know. i've never been to England

  • love this...living in Canada, I had a similar list...big ones for me were; peppers - capsicum...line-up - queue...napkin - serviette....an entree is an appetiser in North America, yet the term entree is main course...'entree' I thought meant 'before'...great vid

  • And then there is how gay people say things :P

    Cracks me up every time.

  • r u gay?

  • @18VISHI yes, why?

  • @TabloidJunk cool love ya

  • @TabloidJunk cause we can ask what ever the fuck we want mate!

  • and the "o" Australian sound is a bit annoying like "you know" = u knooahhhoww

  • to me australian sounds american. period

  • The Australians may good people but their accent is terrible sound a lot like the southern english really sore on the ears.

  • HAHAHAH! Man, you don't know the half of it! Like every English-speaking island in the Caribbean has a different dialect and certain unique vocabulary. I'm from those islands, and thanks to the proliferation of media from EVERYWHERE I know 3 times as much English as the average American or Brit. (so to speak) :P

  • You look like Robert Downey Jr. :)

  • @charming952 wait.. is that a good thing?

  • @TabloidJunk No mate no its not.......

  • @TabloidJunk Yes, yes it is.

  • @TabloidJunk i think so?

  • @charming952 No, he looks like David Wenham

  • We use Supermarket and Soft Drink in America a lot, too... they're very common words. All the rest is right though, ha ha

  • Go Australia!

  • Like others have said, I think we pretty much speak British English in Australia anyway except for the more colloquial terms.

  • @McKenzieRecords Yeah but who actually says tucker like daily? I think to most aussies (I've never even said tucker) it's food.

  • Man you are so cute, Sad ur already booked.

    And by the way, maybe u might have differences in American English, but i rather having a hard time figuring out differences between British and Australian. AS a matter of fact its quite similar.

  • I love australian language+accent!! It´s great <3 :)

  • you're so coool :D

  • I LOVE THE ACCENT! I would love to talk like that!

  • practically Aussies use the same words as in the UK, according to this video

  • @sidus87 well yes, we use the UK spelling as opposed the the US

  • Hi, could you tell me how to differentiate between Brit Eng and Aus Eng? Especially in terms of accent.. Thank you!

  • Cute boy :). I shouldn't say this, but I'll do as well: if all Australian boys and men are the same as you, I think I will move myself on there ;)...Anyway, it's interesting studying English differences troughout all the Commonwealth countries...I love English...Bye from Italy :)

  • Again, a lot of that's rather trivial. There's only a meager pronunciation difference in Canadian.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • TRIPE!

    English is a single language; anything else is either a variety thereof or poppycock. A lot of that's identical to the UK. I'm a Yankee; I think the English biscuit's lame.

  • I was saying all the 'aussie translations' before they popped up, I love our Aussie language but it is becoming overun by American slang!

  • @VidiotiCReapeR that makes sense tho. We're constantly consuming american movies, tv, music.. and with the internet bringing everyone closer together, it makes sense that that really raw local stuff will die off with older generations... thats how i see it anyway

  • @TabloidJunk Yeah... but its a real shame that its dying off, in Northern Vic they still use words like 'sav' 'gday' 'grouse' etc particularly in the Wycheproof Charlton are, (my dad lives there)

  • @VidiotiCReapeR So is every language, even the European languages disgustingly enough...

  • Haha this made me laugh. Although.. soda is only said in the south of America. Up north, we say Pop. And my family never said pacifier. We said Bops. Yes. Weird. I know; but you say Dummy lol

  • I went to a clothes shop in England a while back and asked where they kept the "thongs." they sent me to the lingerie section. Apparently the Brits call thongs "flip-flops" :L

  • love the vid+background music

  • LOVE IT!!!! You made me laugh but what you said was all so true!! Ok bye :D:D

  • Ha ye goin? ....greetings from chocolate-land xD [switzerland]

  • my mate went to the states and got sent to the principal for asking a kid for his rubber

  • @connna1soccer Ahahaha.

  • Is Bogan Australian for redneck? :?

  • @NodDisciple1 pretty much.

  • @ravenwyld Ooh!  I want to meet a Bogan! XD

  • I lived in australia for 14 years and I still speak more american then australian.

  • Haha, thanks for this video. I migrated to Australia from the US. Learning all of the lingo is fun. When I get really tired, I jumble up the words- like saying sidepath instead of footpath. Then, no one has any idea what I'm talking about, lol. You do have to admit Aussies have a very distinctive accent. If you listen carefully, you'll notice that Aussies fit 5 vowel sounds into 1. Say the word "no" and compare it to American pronunciation.

  • Im from Virginia USA, and we do not say "soda" . At least I dont. I say "soft drink" or just "coke" as a generic term for any carbonated beverage.

  • @VASINGER I thought it was Pop not soda. And they say popcycle instead if icy-pole.

  • @jqlzp In the Mid-western USA some people say pop. We do say popsicle. Usually in my neck of the woods people just say "Coke" to mean whatever softdrink they want. It does get confusing some times. A coke is a generic term for Dr Pepper, Sprite, Mountain Dew, etc.

  • @VASINGER Lol. I'm from the northern part of America. I speak both american and australian.

  • @VASINGER Hmm strange. I think the Germans sometimes call all cereals Kelloggs.

  • I guess what they say is true. Australians are long lost Poms!

  • LMAO this is so funny I went to the states recently, like I was speaking a different language :) The more I tried to explain what I meant the worse it got :)))

  • It's funny because I was totally having a conversation about this stuff with the rest of my psych classes the other day! I also love getting America/People with a distinctive accent to say stereotypical Aussie phrases :P

  • Comment removed

  • what do you call Condom in Aussie??? Cos in The States they call that Rubber

  • @leo124323 condom, franger, connie... theres an endless supply of slang terms, i just say condom.

  • I can never stop stirring Kiwis with the "six" word; they fall for it every time!

    I love the local dialects even better than the actual languages. When you visit North Queensland you soon notice most everyone adds a "Hey!" to the end of everything they say ... hey!

    :o)

  • Lol We call pacifiers "binkies" in southern U.S.... 'Least in Texas. :D

  • lol, can't wait for the Canadian English vs. American English ... so many people assume we here in Canada speak American English, but Canadian is a language all of it's own too while incorporating some of the good stuff from British English & American English for fun!

  • the friend you were talking to in new york was definitely orlando gotham...

  • @Baruka88 What brought you to that conclusion?

  • @TabloidJunk lol i follow you both on twitter and youre always talking back an forth! i think he is how i found you too! sorry if i sounded creepy haha

  • Well, you are just precious! And super good looking!

  • That's so interesting! But in America we also refer scones as something though! What do you call those (Can't insert link... but run a google image search. They look like the pizza of pastries :D)

  • I spent a semester abroad in Germany, and at least half of the conversations I had with my fellow international students were about regional variations in speech. The other half were about alcohol. :D

  • Damn i was gonna say before the end, the real fun comes from Canada and the USA because our dialects are so similar yet different. We dont call it Soda/Soft drink, we call it pop haha

  • the words you mentioned are the same in England as Australia, only America seems to have changed them...

  • OMG TJ,..This game could be played from state to state here in the US. As a teenager, I moved from New York to New Mexico. I expereinced a culture shock and had to learn the "local" terms. I know some states or regions of the US call "shopping carts", "buggies" and instead of "soda" it's refered to as "pop" the latter comparison is often debated as the proper term for a "soft drink" which is also a term that is popular in some regions in the US. Gotta love American English..it's like Potpuri

  • cookies and biscuits are the only ones i had any idea about. i feel so australignorant :(. must go there to study, take samples, research....

  • Thats exactly how it is in spanish. Like at my church there is a Dominican lady and there was a Colombian lady and a bunch of Guatemalans and Mexicans. And with several things it took me a few seconds to figure out what they said (or sometimes I had to ask) but then after a while I understood them. And besides I've learned a few new things. not to mention that some words kinda sounded funny or had weird meanings like in Mexico "coche" is car but in Guatemala "coche" is a pig. :)

  • A lot of the Australian vocab is very similar to the British vocab lol.  Interesting video :)

  • Austrailian words is a lot like English. Most of it is the same

  • I love this wig! looking good! too bad you have a boyfriend! #GOOD1sRalwaysTaken

    Also I watch both tender charles and roland! great channels! I actually found you because of your submission to apply for gaysoftheweek! So glad I did ;)

  • @hollywoodcrunk you're so nice :)

    Thanks for watching and being a sweetheart.

    TJ

  • Aluminium

  • What? Is that your real hair?

    ...Can I have it? lol

  • @CurtisLeeSpencer no, it's not my real hair,

    and no, u can't have it!

    haha

  • I always get weird looks when I say 'pop' instead of soda

  • I was aware of some of your terms. Here in the US, we use Soda, Soft Drink, and Pop. Supermarket is also used here as well. I wasn't aware of Food Path, Bonnet, Jumper, Dummy or Nappys

  • I go to a british school so all of my teachers, and most of my friends come from England, so I know all of the little words and we have arguments all the time on how it's supposed to be said XD I also like comparing all of the different accents of people from different parts of England!

  • @me67blue a lot of the time when i am vlogging i deliberately try to steer away from using the "Australian" words or phrases like Foot Path or Soft Drink cause i know that only a very small percentage of my audience is from here.

  • You should have tagged me! I would have taught you about Northern Irish English its brilliant lol

  • @dtsfangirl TAG! - do it anyway!

  • A great one was when i was in england and the bellhop asked what time i like to be knocked up ( waked up ) and i siad right now i had to tell him knocked up in the usa was pregnant he was cute ..
