A funny one I read was an Australian Surgeon in the USA, asking if she could "nurse" the baby of the family she was staying with. Now to ANZACs, that means "hold them and possibly cuddle them" but to Americans it usually means "breast feeding".

Bring a plate - the bit most foreigners don't understand is that it means to bring a plate of food to share, not just the plate itself. Think US-Style Pot Luck. It's a social invitation, where the host(s) are mainly providing the venue rather than all the food/drink/etc. An invitation might be "We're having a BBQ this weekend, you and the kids are invited. We'll have some steaks. Sausages and soft drink for kids. Bring a plate and whatever you like to drink. " This means you are invited, and expected that if you come you will bring: - A plate/platter/bowl of food to share (such as a salad, appetisers, etc) - enough at least to feed the group you're bringing, but it's generally expected that you will also share (and in return have some of whatever else was brought) - If you have any particular dietary requirements then you should bring that too. Given its a barbecue ideally something that can be grilled (barbecued) although not required. - your own drinks for yourself and whomever else you are bringing.

@juntao11 We Kiwi's tend to shorten our vowels as part of your accent. so "fish and chips" become "f-sh n ch-ps" so "fu-sh n ch-ups" fush n chups and the same thing happened to cheers only It was pushed hard my Maori-New Zealand dialects.

@@RealFarknMcCoy never heard it in that meaning.....JM is close, but it means an unsubstantiated rumour. Modern US equivilent would be 'water cooler gossip'.....funnily enough, has the exact sampe meaning. J. Furphy and Sons manufactured water carts in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century....and farm hands (and later, during WW1, soldiers) would exchange gossip and rumours whilst replenishing their water supplies.

Love it! I thought it was very well done. My favourite is a word that has no medical equivalent in any language other than in Australia. The word is 'crook'. I heard a specialist in rheumatology talking about this word and how difficult it was to explain it to overseas medicos. But he loved it. Not really ill but not well either. 'A bit crook.' Feeling a bit off colour. 'Real crook' is starting to get serious but still not seriously ill. 'Crook as Rookwood' is more than serious as Rookwood is a cemetery in Sydney so crook as Rookwood is the same as being dead. 'It's crook' can apply to any deal business situation meaning it's not going well and may be headed for bankruptcy or may mean the principals have lost their way their values or ethics as in 'The business was going well but it's crooknow' meaning that it's got big problems. The use of crook has nothing to do with criminals. He is a crook is a global usage of the word to denote a thief hence the confusion with the Aussie concept of crook. Nothing to do with being a crook but that said a crook might be a bit crook if he is unwell.

Adorable little video, very informative.....Loved watching Russell get giggly over some of the phrases. My favorite has to be "Budgie Smuggler" because I've had lots of parakeets as pets and yes, a man's private inside a pair of Speedoes definitely matches the outline of a parakeet (Budgerigar in Aborigine Language, Budgie to Australians and those of us who love them !!)
