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.
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?!
@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.
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...
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. :-)
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
@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!
@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
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.
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
@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?
@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.
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
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
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.
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 :)
I like the way they do the yr. first in the date. The worst thing is (since we have a different clock) adjusting to military time. Forget straight up midnight!
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.
@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)
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
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.
@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.
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
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!
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!
@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
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
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
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. :)
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 ;)
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.
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 ..
Real Aussies dont say: JUNK!! They say : Rubbish or :Sh!t or Crap

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

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!

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!

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

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

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. :)

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!
MissXoxoDancer24 9 months ago
@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.
