It’s amazing the difference between American and Australian English, esp the slang. I feel like even being a native English speaker there’s a good 20-30% I either miss and have to go back an catch or phrases I don’t know.

Y'all are too much fun. Truly brightens my Thursday evenings (remember, I'm in Houston, Texas, USA, so that's when your show appears on my KZread notifications) -- the content is (nearly) always fun and often even educational, but mostly it cheers my heart to hear a gang of friends sitting around chewing the fat and laughing yourselves silly Every Single Week. I can only guess y'all are good friends off camera. Good on you all. Some day I'll figure out how to send you a visual joke that really needs to be seen rather than merely heard (clean, of course, just visual).

American here, grew up with all those idiomism up to the international ones. Still say a couple of them. Great show guys!

Sean from Ireland here ...Miccers mistake at 14:20 ish could be an opportunity for you guys...you should start that segment all the time with all of you cracking a beer in the mic! Surely some brand will want to be that beer. Get the sponsorship in....remember Coors is the beat pint in the town! Love the show! Come on your boys in green!

Some idioms can be sort of opposites , e.g. Look before you leap vs He who hesitates is lost or Fortune favours the brave vs discretion is the better part of valour or Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth vs Beware of Greeks bearing gifts , Too many cooks spoil the broth vs Many hands make light work

All those English idioms are common in America so I think your jingle is spot on

Wow! UK listener here - it was amazing to me that you hadn't heard of many of the English idioms! I knew, use and hear the lot. I hadn't realised Australian was so different to English. (btw Americans do not speak English!) Keep up the great work gents.

i remember i went to a NRL match years ago , after it was over i saw one of the players sniffing each finger in turn, i asked someone who it was and what he was doing they aid "that's John Hopoate picking man of the match"

Best episode yet guys, well done. Loved it!

i'm not a native English speaker, but apart from "look before you leap", i've heard of the rest of the english idioms quite often... in movies especially. i think the reason you hardly recognize them is because they're more commonly used in America. hollywood movies are full of idioms.

Was really sick this week so it worked out well because I was able to wait for the KZread vid.

The hot porrige in Swedish is like "Walk around the hot porrige (like a cat)". It comes from we used to have butter in the middle of the porridge, and the cat walks around the bowl of porrige cause it wants the butter in the middle, but can't reach it cause the porridge is too hot. So it walks around it, instead of getting what it really wants: getting the butter! Waiting and circulating until it can get to it's point.

Another great episode Gents :)

Love your videos!

Another cracking episode guys. I would think it would be a fun time to share a beer with you one day 👍

On the idioms i think commonly used in the UK, you may when you back water version Ozzy one. Loving the shows and that tho

"Beat around the bush" is pretty close to literal, and it uses bush as a synonym for brush or woods or tangle. You beat around the bush when bushwhacking when you try to find the easiest path rather than plow right through briars and branches and whatnot.

An interesting idea might be to expand the segment to include idioms in foreign languages, translate them into English, and see who can get closest to the real meaning. For example: literal translation from Swedish, “Well look who just walked in riding a shrimp sandwich!” Meaning: Well, isn’t that person looking or acting aloof!

These idioms are all second nature to us in the States. Anyone from the UK just as familiar with them? I mean, I'm guessing many/most came from the UK in the first place...from centuries ago. Maybe Aussie idioms aren't much of a thing. Too busy truncating all words to a single syllable and appending a -y at the end I guess.

As English person, I have heard 90% idioms so I think some of them might be U.K. based idioms.

Those common idioms are very common in the US

Exactly, same with the States. Although "stitch in time saves nine" is almost never used on a day-to-day basis. More of a thing you'd see in children's books, I'd say. I also don't agree with the source claiming it's about "fixing" an issue now; it's usually more about making a basic, modest preventative effort now -- to prevent any need for a "fix" in the first place (e.g. getting your car's oil changed, etc)
