And there is so many slang words out there now for the samething or even the same slang for various things, it all depends on how you use it in a sentence. Eg Pissed or Crook.

Could someone please tell the American film and TV industry that this is how to sound Australian? We don't use slang phrases about wallabies, goannas and other Aussie wildlife with every sentence. Oh, and most of us don't say 'Crikey' and sound like Steve Irwin either.

And yet they force our Aussie actors to sounds American, go figure

I actually use all of these except Tenno ( tennis ball) and din dins in normal convos ( though I do say din dins to the dogs when it’s food time). I think it all comes down to wether you are raised old school or new school. My dad is old school Aussie and uses a lot of Aussie slang that has basically disappeared from our language now. My bf is from new school and literally had no idea what we were talking about at family gatherings. After 9 years hes caught up with it all but made me realise how our parents language shapes ours. I wouldn’t change my slang for the world and have passed it onto my nieces and nephew ..

I'm from the US and I found this thoroughly awesome and I'm going to pick some of these up 😂👌👍

THANK YOU for posting this, I'm an American expat and when I try to explain to my American friends how hard it actually is to have a fluent conversation they don't get it because "They speak English, right?" Oh my, the dialects!!! On top of the abbreviations, Australians have the tendency to change the active speaking voice into passive voice, making the verb an object. For example, "Let's have a chat" instead of "Let's chat", or "I need to have a lie down" instead of "I need to lie down". Now add to the mix the propensity to leave out articles in front of locations (i.e., "I'm going hospital" instead of "I'm going to the hospital" and I find I have to work really attentively at actively understanding "convos"!

I'm going hospital?? We say I'm going TO hospital because it's a PLACE. And there are obviously several hospitals. (If in a small town you can say the hospital as there's only one hospital ) It's like saying I'm going to bed. You don't say I'm going to THE bed. And I'm having a shower, a lie down, a bath, a swim, a drink. Take a shower sounds weird

A lot of traffic gets diverted from the main upload to people stealing it and putting it on Facebook - what's worse is that the person who stole it can get ad revenue for the content they didn't make.

Some of these we also use in the States, just probably not quite as frequently, and not all in a string of an abbreviated sentence... but I use quite a bit of those abbreviations, especially towards the end.

I agree with all of these. these are so accurate.

+hijosh How is it going mate? My name is Renzo and I am from Venezuela in South America. I just saw this video thanks to one of my mates from Australia and I´m a new subscriber, I love Australia and its people, you guys rock, it´s my biggest dreamto go Down Under and meet all my mates there. I think the Australian accent is the coolest ever and watching this video has make me have heaps of studying to do. Keep it up :)
