Plumber = dunny diver Phonetically: Mundee Tewsdee or more like Chewsdee Wensdee Thursdee Fridee Saturdee or Sat'dee (we like reducing words to two syllables) Sundee "No wukkas" is a shortening of "no wucking furries", which is obviously a jokey way of avoiding saying "no f----ing worries" by swapping the W and F.

"Old Mate" is one of my favourite Australianisms just because of how hilariously contrary it is. It's not even as broad as just meaning 'somebody'; it's explicitly used to refer to a specific person who you _don't_ know well - usually as a substitute for not even knowing the person's name. Commonly used in the context "Check out Old Mate over there!" to refer to a completely random stranger doing something unusual.

Hey, I gotta congratulate you as you really ‘hit the nail on the head’ for all you mentioned. You did great. As an Aussie, my three favourites which you may or may not have heard are as follows: ‘Toey’ - when a person appears to be ‘Toey’ - like the person just wants to run away from what they just said; or the person feels like that they want to break out from the situation they are in & feel trapped. So the Aussie Slang phrase for this: ‘Toey? He or she is as ‘Toey’ as a Roman sandal’ ...in other words, like a Toe on a foot, so full in a Roman sandal, there is nowhere else to go and/or run.... Busy...How busy are you? ‘I’m as busy as a lizard drinkin’ ...(if you happen to see a thirsty lizard drinking, they don’t look around for predators). They just drink water & that is busy man)! I’m off - meaning ‘I’m going to something or somewhere’ ..’I’m off like a bucket of prawns in the hot sun’ - meaning - ‘I’m so outta here - cos if you think about it, a bucket of prawns (known as shrimp in American), left out in the sun, is Hot, sweaty, and stinks & one needs to remove themselves from the area. Get it? I hope you liked these & I enjoyed your video 😊

It’s usually one of the first words we teach babies. Like when we want then to hand something over. “Ta!” And then also to teach them to say thank you.

"Flat" basically used to be the non-US exact equivalent of "apartment". "Block of flats" in Australian, British, or New Zealand English was exactly the same as "apartment building" in US English until the Seventies when we started watching more American TV. Then developers and promoters started selling their residential units as "apartments" to sound more sophisticated and modern. So to some extent there is a shade of meaning in which apartments are the newer ones in larger blocks that were purpose-built, whereas "flats" are pre-1980, in smaller buildings without lifts, or are conversions of old large homes. But there is no real consistent difference, and they will all be "apartments" when everyone who learned Aussie English before 1980 is dead or mumbling.

Chockers usually means somewhere is busy. 'Stuffed' can mean lots of things: I'm stuffed; I'm full, He's stuffed; He's in trouble. Get stuffed; Get Lost. Esky is Aussie, Chilli bin is Kiwi. We do use the word 'chips' interchangeably to mean fries or (packet) chips but we do use the word fries as well or might say 'hot chips'. I never really thought much about it but we say: 'a burger n' fries' but also ' fish n' chips'. Beer cans used to be the norm and would be sold in a flat pack of 24, hence slab. Now they are mostly sold in boutles so we usually just call them a carton. If you are 'drinking piss' its (hopefully) alcohol, if you are 'taking a piss' you are weeing/peeing/urinating, if someone is 'taking THE piss' it means not treating something seriously of taking advantage of a situation. Its not 'Maggot' its 'Magged'. We use gutter and curb but they are usually at the same place. A 'ute' is a pickup truck, with a 'tray/bed' on the back very common here. We use tele and tv. 'Neat' is being organized, clean is being sanitary' Cheeky is like funny mischievous you might describe a kid as a 'cheeky monkey'. Sprite is lemonade, Solo which basically just has more lemon juice is 'squash'. A brolley is an umbrella with a telescopic collapsable shaft. Lollipop ladies/man used to carry a sign to stop traffic for kids before/after school but they all use square flags now. We would also call a grass feild an oval because they were typically oval shapped for cricket or AFL but we would also call a soccer pitch (and use the word soccer) an oval.

As for the "lemonade" thing, it's because of Schweppes "lemonade", which was a bottled, carbonated, lemon-lime drink introduced by a British firm in 1835, and marketed continuously ever since. In the US local firms produced imitations under various brand names, so it was never sold as "lemonade" there. But in places that Schweppes distributed to in the Victorian era Schweppes "lemonade" sort of dislodged real lemonade made of lemon juice, sugar syrup, and water.

A trap for young American players in Australia...do not saying you're rooting for something...it might get taken as consent (jk). The Australian term, in Victoria at least, is 'to barrack for'.

@@setek15golr Knackered usually means extremely tired as in " I'm dead". On the farm we would call the knackers to come and collect dead cows or destroy injured or sick animals which would be then taken for butchering for pet food. In the old days some knackers had a side-line castrating livestock which led to the anatomical meaning of the word 'knackers'.

An apartment is usually in a high rise building i.e. one on top of each other. A flat is where they are side by side and run along the ground, on the "flat" surface. Flats are usually smaller and cheaper than apartments and have like four or five. Then there are units. These are like little houses together in a block (bit like a cube)

Examples of these classes are: speed reading, language courses, basic coding, computer use, sewing courses etc. Goon (Box wine) is called that because the bag that the wine is in inside the box is called a 'Goon Bag' Chewie is still called Chewing Gum. - Chewie however is generally referred to for mouth freshener gums. Bubblegum is called for the type for blowing big bubbles, and is generally alot sweeter in flavor. EG. Hubbabubba is 'Bubblegum' Stubbie Holder (Koozie) - is also called a Stubbie 'Cooler' because it keeps the Stubbie (beer bottle) 'Cool/Cold' Neat as well as meaning clean also can mean 'Awesome or good' 'American Lemonade' is usually referred to here as Pub Squash, Lemon Squash or just Squash Cilantro/Coriander is also called poison or 'f*&k Coriander'

Fine Dining in service à la française (Serving in French) 1000's-1890's were: entree de table (entrance to the table), Potage (food made in pots) services de rost (servings of roast or meats) issue de table (Leaving the table) Main Meals or in French "Table d'hôte" Only started being separate in the 1700's when they started "Service à la russe" (Serving in Russian style). Russians ate soup first so pottage became the first meal and entree became second, losing it's meaning. Meanwhile in service à l'anglaise (English service) Soup is a side dish and meat is not served but instead left and the end of the table to be carved while eating.

2:18 chewing gum (chewy) and bubble gum are not the same; we differentiate between them. Chewy is just for chewing, often supposed to freshen your breath or clean your teeth but not necessarily. Bubble gum is usually sweet and specifically allows you to blow bubbles, so has a different consistency. Do you just call both gum?
