I’m very unimpressed by Oscar that he didn’t expand on the goon bag with the name of the drinking game where you put a bag of goon on a Hills hoist (an Aussie spinnable clothes line) and spin it around until it stops and the person it stops by has to drink directly from the goon. The game is obviously called…. Goon of Fortune.
Oscar Is Awesome! Definitely One Of My Favourite People!
According to a Wikipedia, Weetabix is the UK version of the original Australian Weetbix, so that means Weetbix is the original and therefore correct 😊

@@zabaleta66 This style of footwear has been worn by people of many cultures throughout the world, originating as early as the ancient Egyptians in 1500 BC. In the United States the modern flip-flop may have had its design taken from the traditional Japanese zōri, after World War II as soldiers brought them back from Japan.

I have to say, the U-Turn/Uey one intrigues me! In New England, or specifically my state within New England, we say Uey for the most part. But we say "bang a uey" rather than "chuck a uey"
Funnily enough we also say u-ey in Canada
DONK comes from Donkey, originating early on from the development of internal combustion engines. Donkeys did a lot of the "grunt" work in farming and industry, early engines, not necessarily in cars, were nick named donkeys for that reason and shortened to Donk. Might even be of US origin rather that Brit or Aussie.
The goon in a box is an Australian invention btw.👍🏼😎🇦🇺

weetbix can only be eaten 2 ways. 3 bars in cold milk with a bunch of fruit, usually berries or bananas. Or a whole bowls worth, drowned in milk with sugar, maybe some honey, and warmed like oats
Australia invented cask wine so we get to call it what we like. Goon Bag it is. 😆👍
Here in South Africa we also call the Brits poms or pommies. It's just a term we use, not meant to be derogatory in any way.

The so-called 'goon bag' is infact called a coolibah (actual brand name). Started back in the 70s.
You proposed a question in the video thumbnail, It's a thong. Because a thong originally is a thin piece of string or leather used to hold something in place. So the name "Thong" for the rubber sandal image comes from the bifurcated rubber strap that holds the rubber sole on your foot.

I am Australian and I can't recall hearing the term 'donk' for an engine. However, I had a think and perhaps it's short for 'donkey', similar to horse or horsepower to describe the power of a car. Just a funny word to describe horse power for a low powered car perhaps or making fun of someone's engine.
I’m South African, and I would call a Brit a Pom.
LOVE OSCAR OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buzzfeed is making Formula1 content now?!?!?!?!?
Weetbix and weetabix are slightly different. The pommy one is sweeter, the Aussie one is pure wheat and not sweet. We add sugar or fruit to sweeten it. Microwave? Definitely. Add milk, then zap. Great for winter
Straight off the bat wrong. Microwaved weet bix in winter with honey and banana or even just some sugar on top is awesome. Been eating that since I was a kid and I’m as Aussie as they come.

This shows the difference from the two countries. Australia is like a super cool country with very real people.
As a South African, If anyone cares... we would say: 1) Flip-Flops or Slops or Slip-Slops 2) Speedos but also refer to them as budgies smugglers for fun 3) Never had before. I'd say we consider "Fairycake" to be like Chiffon cake? 4) Boxed Wine used to ONLY be cheap wine or PapSak. Papsak is loosely translated into a flat bag, I guess. In the past 5 years or so, many middle-range quality wines. Typically screwcaps or quaffable wines which you don't care about the vintage therefore no need for a cork, have begun selling "Wine in Boxes" at a slightly lower cost as they are more eco-friendly and use recyclable inners and outers which require less water to recycle than glass does. So good for the environment, lasts longer, marginally cheaper but still of the same standard as their bottled wines. 5) U-Turn, except as far as I can recall ours rarely have the "allowed to" and typically have a line across symbolising NO U-Turns, which to a South African means "TURN Really Fast!". Any other countries have a saying for Robots (Traffic Lights) "Green means GO, Yellow (Amber) means Go Faster and Red means either stop if peak traffic...or at night hover or go slowly.". We do occasionally say "Make a quick make a U'ey or just turn around here, at a prohibited risky interaction. So it's interesting that Eng and Aus terms are often both used here. 6) Poms or many Afrikaans people call them Souties, especially if they live in South Africa. As they have one foot in England and one foot in South Africa with their um male third appendage being in the (sout/salt) salty sea. 7) Just an engine if you're standing near the car or want the petrol attendant to check the engine's oil and water.

I just realised I missed Weet-Bix. Probably because it's disgusting and my mind purposefully blanked it out. I think it's a brand-name thing.
I will change everyone’s mind about microwave weetbix. Step 1: toast with butter and vegemite Step 2: add a slice of cheese to said toast Step 3: pour milk over weetbix and microwave Step 4: mix weetbix into a paste Step 5: apply weetbix paste to toast Step 6: fold toast in half to create a vegemite weetbix and cheese toast taco This was my daily breakfast nearly my entire child hood
Take this out of before someone gets offended. Ask Oscar to find out what it really means by “goon”.
Good Bag, well a Flagon is shortened to a Goon and that bag holds about the same as a Flagon/Goon, so a Goon bag. Obvious to any Aussie, well done Oscar!!
Why would you call it something as boring as white bread with sprinkles 😂😂
Thongs are properly called Jandals
U Turn or pull a uey in the US
Ok, they're NOT called "flip flops" or "thongs", as every Kiwi knows their true and proper name is "jandals". Pom comes from "Prisoner Of Mother England", pom was originally POME. We use the term too. Weet-Bix does not have an "A" in it in Australia and NZ. Donk is an old term for a car engine. I think it was shortened from donkey, because the engine works like a mule. Just guessing.

The engine isn't called a donk the engine has donk. You would say "the car has plenty of donk". That means it has plenty of power.
