A: Hey mate, want to come over for a barbie tomorrow arvo? B: Oh ta! That would be beaut! What should I bring around? A: If you could stop by the bottle-o and get some bevvies that would be bonza. B: Yeah too easy! I will get some tinnies and long necks. You reckon anyone get plastered?? A: Nah we're a tame bunch. There'll be some anklebitters too. So if anyone get smashed I'll send them home. Besides I don't want to clean up a big mess if anyone chunders. B: Fair enough. You right for tucker? A: Yeah all sorted. Got snags and roo steaks. With mushies and onions we could do sangas. No lippie required. Just chillaxed barbie at mine. B: Look forward to it. See you then! I'm South Korean who lives in Alice Springs. Thanks for your awesome videos!!

A lot of these are very common in England and the UK too, especially bugger. It's a versatile word for sure
Yep, Esky was a brand name (I remember that my parents had one in the 80s) but it became generalised to refer to any kind of cooler. I'd never heard 'couldn't be stuffed' until I moved from Qld to Canberra. I'm in Vic these days but use it all the time. 'Buggered' is kinda rude in a formal context (e.g. job interview) but not around friends.

Yeah, 100% agree with you re: esky and bugger. I'd probably avoid it in very formal situations, but go to it instead of other swear words when i don't want to be really rude. It's interesting you didn't hear 'can't be stuffed' up in Qld. I always thought it was used everywhere in Aus.

Excellent presentation!
Bugger isn’t rude in the UK, as such. I grew up saying, bugger off, meaning ‘go away’. All the same otherwise, right down to cheeky bugger. I’ve never heard it in anger, it’s too humorous for usage. It’s a versatile word in London as well. We always use naughty parts too for words: Nob Cu** Bell end Etc
I am an American planning on moving to Australia in less than a year. I've heard mayyybe half of these. Thanks for the pointers!!

Just found your channel mate. Fair go mate, we use pretty well all those over here in Nz. Nothing new. Woke up this morning and turned out to be a "bonza " day, after a crappie start. A mate got me on the blower and invited me round for a barbie. I grabbed me chilly bin, chucked some ice in and a few beers and snags and shot over to his place. He moans about the heat. No probs for me. I come from Marble Bar. Anyway ta for sharing mate. Just going to blow the froth off a couple of cold ones. Have a good one.

I'm loving listening to this... & I'm Aussie.. from Bundy!! LOL... I wonder if esky may have come from the Igloo brand of eskies? I'd never given it any thought .. til now LOL I use bugger (bugga) all the time.. bugger off, I'm buggered (stuffed), what a bugger! (a scoundrel or maybe a mishap), can't be buggered (bothered).. & much more. Never think of it as rude... though I've known where the word came from. F.U.C.K. was originally a legal term... For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge.... well eff me!! LOL Oh I love that ad!! Every non Aussie needs to hear this LOL... it's so true!! I think I'll send it to some American friends I'm doing vids with soon lol My fav thing is telling my US mates that I'm putting my thongs on to go outside ... or stuff like that LOL ...

In SA we used to say 'chucked a sickie' Bugger is not a swear word to us. 'Bugger off mate' is not swearing! Or 'bugger I forgot to put sauce on the snags!'
That’s not a knife, THIS is a knife!😅
I was playing this video in background and when I heard bugger I thought it’s a foreign slang imported from Japan 🤣it sounds sooo similar to “Stupid” in Japanese
Even as an house person I know all what it means. I guess a lot of us would tbh

Does young people use “bugger off”?
Bathers= togs= cossie= swimmers. You forgot swimmers. I'd usually say swimmers or cossie. I do use bugger. Generally as an exclamation. I know that it also means a particular act of homosexual sex, but I'm never using that meaning when I say it. I rarely think of/remember that about bugger. So I'd say on the whole you're right.
