Aussie here - just to clear up that "thong" comes from old middle English meaning a small strip of leather. It is in the Webster (American) dictionary as a sandal held on the foot by a thong fitting between the toes. This definition was in use well before the undergarment came into the vernacular.

This is so interesting. I’m from Perth Australia but was brought up with an English Dad and German Mom. Most of the words I use and a lot of my pronunciation is decidedly English! Which people have commented on before but I never really heard it, but I can see(hear?) it now!

I found this piece particularly interesting, because being now in my late 80's I'm increasingly aware that my speech is becoming more and more out of sync with present day speech. I came to Canada in my late 20's. Unusually I was taught a fair amount of Australian slang current in the 60's by an Australian colleague. I was surprised by pretty well every word the Aussie introduced, because in NO case had I heard his word before - implying that Ozzie slang is subject to rapid change. His use of " drongo " was interesting. I was taught that DRONGO had been the name of a good looking race horse which was much favoured by the punters, but which seldom won - so that " a drongo " originally meant an unreliable person. I learned terms like " fair dinkum ", " she's right ! " , " shoot through " , " a fair cow ", " chunder ", " crook " , " bonzer " - to name but a few which I suspect may have fallen into disuse. Respectively they mean : ' true ', everything's fine ', ' passing through ', ' bad situation ', ' vomit ', ' unwell '. ' very good '. The NZ slang was entirely new to me, although the word " chuddy " was familiar, because as a small boy in England we called it ' chuddy gum '.

I always love the way LUCY demonstrates & xplains so neatly and precisely

The word Togs came to NZ via Upper Class or Public School British slang from the 1920s and 30s (and possibly earlier) - It originally was an abbreviation of Togas (as in ancient Roman clothes) and slang for clothes in general. In NZ it became "swimming togs" to describe clothes for swimming. By the 1950s and '60s the more general usage of "togs" had mostly died out and so to distinguish these clothes as for swimming became redundant.

Very nice vídeo, this the kind of video that I was expecting in youtube.

9:48 I am Aussie and I have always called it the op shop, I have heard people call it the salvo

Hi Lucy, this was a great video! Loved seeing Pete from Aussie English as well. Please make more of these! :-)

Funny info: in Canada, province of Quebec (the French speaking one), the concept of corner shops was implemented first in dairies - one of the oldest chain is Perrette, which was initially a milk producer (named after a Lafontaine Fable), and over the years they completely switched to convenience store. It's fascinating that down under, there seems to be a similar link :-P

In South Australia a corner shop is usually called a deli which is short for delicatessen. The full word delicatessen is not used as much as it was twenty years ago but 'milk bar' is not used here at all.

Thanks. Loved it.

Hi Lucy, I love your beautiful accent and your cuteness. Some of the things in NZ get called by their brand names of the original products on the market. eg Jandals, Crescent (adjustable spanner), Thermos (insulated drink container) and many others that I can’t remember at this moment. Something my English colleagues I worked with used to say was “at the moment” where as we would say “at this moment” It always struck me as being a bit odd. Anyway that’s what makes the world an interesting place people have their own slang and idioms in their language. What’s really noticeable in NZ is how we have picked up on so much American language and slang. Blessings to you and refreshing to see good wholesome fun stuff you produce. 🤗🤗🤗

Good to see you back. With an interesting lesson as well ❤️❤️

In Croatian we also say "japanke", Japanese sandals.

I'm from the U.S. and I say "no worries" quite a lot. Most of the NZ and Aussie ones I'd not heard. Fascinating stuff!

I love how I’m Australian yet I use most of the English slang not the Australian, maybe it’s more of a Sydney thing !

Yes, only my grandfather said drongo and milk bar. Heaps of our iconic slang is just historic now.

Don’t know about that Claire I’m a Sydneysider as well but I don’t use English slang I use more Irish slang that’s been handed down from my Irish great grandfather and other family I still have in Ireland 🇮🇪

I was thinking similarly. I recognise the Aussie slang but my “go to” slang words would be either American or British in some of the situations presented

*Very informative discussion. Thanks.*

Dunny is short for Dunny Can. I’m 52 so I remember The “Can”, “Bog”, The “Lav” and a quirky saying was The “Porcelain Bowl” or “Porcelain Throne”. There’s probably loads more but off the top of my head that all I can think of. Also the charity shop was Op (opportunity) Shop before the Salvation Army created their stores. Saint Vincent DePaul is another charity organisation and we called their stores “Vinnies”.

I like videos on slang words. It’s always interesting.

Lucy I loved your understanding for the Australian slang "I'm cactus"😂😂. I totally agree with you dear.👍

Thank You, Lucy, this was a fun lesson. Can you please make a video on spoken and written expressions.

Ooh Lucy when the guy says loo your reaction nodding was hilarious 😂😂

10:00 - A lot of Aussies would call op shops "Vinnies". As a shortened version of "St Vincent De Paul".

I love this one! Thongs appeared again!haha thanks Lucy!

Hello Lucy thank you for today's video tomorrow I have speaking part of an IELTS exam you teach me to improve my skill than my current teacher ))))))))))))))) love you ❤

Love these videos. I learn and laugh so much ! Thank you Lucy !

In new zealand we would more likely say knackered and shattered. Ive never heard stuffed be used to say tired. It is however common to say "im stuffed" when in a tough situation with no clear solution and when its said after someone has eaten a lot

Your awesome Lucy,Rosie and Pete

Hi Lucy, this is a great series. Maybe you could also ask some old british colonies like Malta or the Bahamas :)

You should make a video comparing British, American and Canadian English, that would be very interesting and really fun. Also, I love your videos! I can learn more than I imagined.

English v Irish v Scottish v Welsh v American v Canadian v New Zealand v Australian v South African v Jamaican would be awesome 😂

I learned a lot of those words when I lived with a Kiwi family. Often I was soooo confused! But I loved it, that my hostmum always said that I was going on a tiki Tour. Or First I had to wash the togs of the kids... I thought she meant Tag, so I was washing everything with a tag in it😂🤷‍♀️

14:49 and 14:59 A dunny, *BLEEP* house and whare paku which means *BLEEP* house..
