We are real !
Good Luck with that one you Sheilahs!!!😅😅😅
@@dropbear6740 😂😂😂😂 and also...😒😳
If you want to see Aussie humour, look up Scottish reporter pranked in to thinking that drop bears are real
I second this, that video was hilarious.
We got 3 major accents. 1.Cultivated like Cate Blanchett , 2. General like Hugh Jackman, 3.Broad like Steve Irwin
There is also a 4th in ethno-Australian accent.
Then there's the shitty gutter type accent from sydney which sounds like feral language.
Then there's the shitty adelaide accent where they say 'Carstle' instead of Castle. Plarnt instead of plant.
Charnce instead of chance.
What about bogan!!? That's how I speak!!
@@samanthafairweather9186 Depends which part of Australia they come from.
sydney is the absolute worst accent full stop.
Half gutteral, half criminal, over hyped bullshit.
Melbourne, Perth and parts of Tasmania have the nicest Australian accents.
Adelaide is terrible.
There are way more Australian accents than just three.
What about the silly adelaide accent where they say "Mitsabisheeeeee"!
'Plarnt'
'Darnce'
'Charnce'
Terrible.
Cate Blanchett is from Melbourne, thats why she sounds classy.
Melbourne, Perth, Tasmania.........nicest Australian accents.
This guy has a normal Australian accent. Most people DON'T speak like Crocodile Dundee or the Crocodile Hunter. We speak like this guy.
Oh really?? Didn't know
yeah because we are raised on a strict diet of american mass media
Glad you said it.... I hate it when our fellow Aussies put on the “Strayan” accent!
@@evaadams8298 Where I grew up no one 'puts' on the accent. There is only that accent. Its only in the cities do you all speak like bloody yanks :D
@@TheNatashaDebbieShowyes he is right
I was laughing at the dropbear. It’s a mythic creature every parent uses to threaten their kids with especially if camping in the bush. Don’t wander off or the dropbears will get you 🤣🤣🤣
A traditional dropbear deterrent is to smear vegemite on your face in a camouflage manner
It’s something that you say to foreigners when visiting the bush, you say Watch out for the Drop bears
It's nothing to laugh at Roslyn, we don't want our Yankee friends being taken again by drop bears, especially when droppys are pissed, which is all the time.
@@brentonbish ssshhh, because it's true 😁
Don't lie it's real , they need to be forewarned.
With your sense of humour you both are quickly becoming honorary Aussies. We indeed think like you. 😂😂😂
We appreciate that!! ❤️
Us Aussie's are generally dirty minded , comes naturally 😅
It’s funny how you say he barely has an accent. He sounds really typically Aussie to me. I live in Australia and I’d say that most people have more of this generalised Aussie accent, especially the younger generations. There are of course big variances throughout the country. In country/regional Australia and in some states they have a much broader accent, like a Steve Irwin type of thing. I love how many words he covered in this video but man there’s so many more…Aussie slang is extensive and it’s fun to learn it all.
One of the best is "chunder" maybe not mentioned because it's so famous but the best thing is it's original derivation from the boats bringing seasick ten pound POHMs over to Oz. Shouts of "watch under" when someone was sick over the side. No doubt someone's going to tell me that's an urban myth but it's what I always understood
That’s because most outsiders associate the Broad accent with being “Australian” when in actual fact it’s a more general accent that most Australians possess.
Urban Aussie. Who doesn't attend any sporting events.
I’m an Aussie (4th generation and a Senior) Jacob has a clear common Australian accent to me. The strong version is more nasal and more common in country areas.
If you ever make your way down under and you really should, make sure you wear a hat when going bush. Drop bears can be a bloody nuisance.
A shag is a type of bird, either a cormorant or a darter. They like to sit on a rock after a swim with their wings half spread to dry out, and so they are very noticeable hence "stands out like a shag on a rock"
Lol not that kind of shag mate lol
@@veemack6980 Well, in this case, that's exactly what the saying is referring to.
But yes, shag is also commonly used for... actually he didn't cover a 'root' in this vid... :P
I've also heard Irish people use the word shag in a derogatory manner as well.
Eg. Shag off. When you want someone to F off, P off, etc.
I can categorically state that Nick Thorne’s description is 100% correct, as this was my nickname for a while from at least one Australian I worked with for Ten years, because I used to stand out for whatever reason I got nicknamed shagger. Meaning shag on a rock it also means something else in English/Celtic where shagger is not something you would call some in polite conversation and I know this as it’s also my background also!
Depends which part of the country you come from. North QLD a shag isn't a bird, but you will still see it often on a rock, in a park, in plain view of everyone lol. But saying that, I have never heard that expression before, and many of these videos about Auzzie slang use terms that are not common to QLD, or at least, Central/Nth QLD. I have noticed that every State seems to have their own slang, own accent and own mannerisms.
The word POMMY was originally spelt POME which stood for Prisoners of mother England, who wore different clothing from Prisoners from Ireland so the had the word POME printed on the back of thier shirts
Aussies are very loyal if you do content about us. Go for it 👍
If you Sheliahs could do some more Aussie videos, that would be bonza.
hahahahah
😂😂
Wonder if they know what a dinger is lol
Beaudy Newc! You may only know that if you’re a baby boomer🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Great going. There is a very funny video with a British TV journalist being pranked with a Dropbear and all the protective clothing they get her to wear before handing her a koala 🐨
That video is hilarious!
This is the link to that video, she's Scottish ruclips.net/video/KCGUNpzjD6M/видео.html
@@carokat1111 fully agree - almost wet myself. Props to the fellas for keeping a straight face for so long! I think the vid you were referring to is this one: "Scottish reporter tricked ..." (ruclips.net/video/KCGUNpzjD6M/видео.html)😂
First time I heard this was early 70s at Air force base when first had WarGames with more than 20 thousand troops from allied country..many Aussies were selling them koalas high up in large amount of tall gum trees where the koala,,was so funny at time...but was a local jokes...later on I heard drop bears were ppl who are idiots and fools...maybe a type of Karen or Kevin in USA
Aussies want more N&D! Love your reactions! 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏼👍🏼😊😊
Thank you 😊
TBH, with the 'Aussie Aussie Aussie' thing, it's true that if someone where to just randomly say it here in Australia we wouldn't really react to it. However, we have a strong compulsion to respond to it whenever someone does it outside of Australia (I've literally never heard someone prompt it without the 'oi oi oi' response naturally happening), or at some sort of international event where Australia is being represented (like the Olympics). It's more of a patriotic prompt rather than and everyday utterance. lol.
Don’t agree. It’s for bogans…and only bogans. Most Aussies will squirm if anyone tries it on.
When I first started watching your channel about a year ago Debbie was very shy and reserved. She's really become quite bold and this was hilarious. I will say that this guy was about as good at explaining things as a 5 year old explaining quantum physics. Luckily I knew most of these. ✌️❤️🇬🇧
Agreeee. Bored to death.
Yep. Never heard of this guy and he was pretty hopeless. Plus don’t know where he’s been but I’ve heard Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi heaps of times and I’ve never heard budgie smugglers called dick togs before. Found him pretty annoying.
Agree, as an aussie, hes shit at explaining slang
Loved your comments on "The Bush". What you were referring to as "The Bush", we grew up calling a Mappatassie (Map of Tasmania). I'm sure you can work it out. I also have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.
Welcome to the family then! 😂😂
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow I assume you got it
@@groundjester If they haven't fully got it yet, next time they see Tassie on a map they'll quickly realise, burst out laughing, and never be able to look at a map of Australia the same way ever again.
🤣🤣
The only Dancing with the Stars I've ever watched, Tamsin Lewis had a wardrobe malfunction and Sonia Kruger, bless her little cotton socks, quipped " Oops we almost saw the map of Tamsin" and from there on in, that's what it became in our house.
Very interesting, but be aware not all slang is Australia wide. Different states may have a different way of saying some things. A couple of the slangs in this episode i have never heard. Lived here for 73 years ! Good show girls. Keep up the interesting content.
Same here. I think a few he was using were from QLD
In Australia,'root' means 'f*ck', which is why we laugh when we hear Americans say "I'm rooting for you!" 😂
Bushtucker Man is well worth checking out. Impossible to describe without spoiling it, but Major Les Hiddins was the forerunner to a lot of survival experts. A staple part of school summer holiday TV when I was young. The cinematography alone is absolutely superb. Or for a proper throwback, try Ask The Leyland Brothers.
Jeez why did I automatically (and loudly) sing "ask the Leyland beotherrrss!!! 😄 great oleaussie t. I miss it!
I grew up watching Bush Tucker Man. He was brilliant! 😁
Yes and yes
Mike and Mal were absolute legends!! I'd watch The Leyland Brothers every Saturday night with my mum and dad. It was essential viewing in our house in the 70s and 80s. Them, and good old Albie Mangels!!
Fun fact, the word "tucker" is already slang in Australia, it means food/dinner which is where the word "tuckshop" comes from, it's a shop to get your tucker!
Correct.
'Tucker' actually originated in England in the 1800s so there you go.
Dog on the Tucker Box from Gundegai which is where the Guide Dogs donation dogs get their form from.
As an Australian of 63 years, I can tell you that some of these explanations are up for debate depending on how old you are and what area of Australia you live in. Most of what he said was generically correct but young people tend to explain things a little differently to the way I would explain them.
Agree. I’m 57 and thought the same thing. He probably didn’t realise that Woolworths was originally a chain store, like an American five & dime. Now it’s a supermarket & Big W is the “department” type side to it. I used to love the cafeteria at the Woolworths at Town Hall in Sydney when I was a kid. It was a treat to go there !!
Too funny. As an Aussie, I'm finding your reactions hilarious😅 New subscriber here!
Welcome!! We're so glad to have you!
I heard the following story about the origin of the word Pom or Pommy: Prisoners waiting to be deported to Australia were first sent to Millbank Prison in London and had to wear uniforms with the letters P.O.M. (Prisoner of Millbank) printed on them.
Not quite, the correct word is POHM or Prisoner of His Majesty.
We were taught pome prisoner of mother England for the convicts
Pommy is to do with skin colour, short for pomegranate, the rosy colour. Some people say it's from the French word pomme for apple (when peeled it's pale tone).
This thread is proof we are really, really good at spinning yarns.
Prisoner of mother England possibly
From the UK here and I knew some of these, but we did have a lot of Australian TV shows here when I was growing up. We also had a tuckshop at school in England. Ours mostly sold sweets (candy). Tuck shops were usually run by parents or students in the days before vending machines were a thing. We also used to have a shop called Woolworths, which we also called Woolies, but it sadly closed down years ago.
UK Woollies and Australian Woolworths are different. Woollies in the UK was a cheap department store like Dimmys or K Mart in Australia. I know because my very first job at age 16 was working in the Men's underwear department in Bournemouth woollies! Only the really bright people got to work on the pick n mix counter (so the bitches who worked there told me anyway!) My first "serious" boyfriend (serious because we went out for a whole 4 weeks) asked me out behind the y- front counter 😆
Australia's Woolies is 100% Australian owned and is a supermarket, not connected to uk woollies in any way. It used to be called Safeway in the southern states, which was also 100% Australian owned and not related to UK Safeway.
Woolies - Serious waxing! HILARIOUS!!
On "shag on a rock": a shag is a kind of cormorant, a sea bird that eats fish. They can fly, but when they're watching for fish in the water they'll often stand on shoreline rocks to do it, saving their energy for when they actually have to dive for the fish, so if you're at a place where there are rocky shores you'll often see a shag or two, actually watching for fish to catch but apparently just standing around doing nothing. Since so many Australians live close to the coast, I suppose enough people here started using the phrase that it ended up catching on.
Another, less couth, equivalent is "stand out like a dog's bollocks" ;P
Salvo’s = Salvation Army
Eski = a picnic cooler box (a trade name derived from Eskimo?).
Bottle Shop = An off licence (UK) or liquor store (USA)
Dooner = A quilt/douvet (for a bed) from eiderdown
Barbie = Barbecue
Getting “toe-ey” = belligerent
He was “spewing” = cheesed off
A smoko = a mid morning coffee break (originally a chance to smoke a cigarette)
A tinnie = can (of beer)
A tinnie/tinny is also an aluminium dinghy.
spewing can also mean vomiting. my favourite vomiting slang words are 'chunder' and 'technicolour yawn' lol;
Bottle'O is also used often instead of liquor store.
'Knackered' or 'buggered' meaning tired/exhausted or somethings broken
fluffing/fluffed is a word we use for farting (not sure if it is Australia wide but fairly common in South Australia)
cool bananas or cool beans means cool/great etc
god I love our Aussie slang lol
A shag is a type of cormorant (a large sea bird)... I just googled it to confirm it and pretty much EVERY image shows one sat on a rock... so I guess they do stand out lol!
A shag is sex, so two people having sex on a rock would stand out a bit more than a bird.
@@fiftyflirtyfabulous3163 I'm all too aware that the term "Shag" is also sex in the UK. Having lived my whole life in the UK, I can say with both confidence and authority, that I have seen "Far too few shags" for my age...on rocks or elsewhere. My own failings to attract the "Mate" for me notwithstanding. I'm open to any and all suggestions to correct this sorry state of affairs!
In WA we say stands out like dogs b@lls
"Flat out like a shag on a rock" or "Flat out like a lizard drinkin'" is the standard reply to "How ya goin'"
@@Mark_Bickerton In Australia, Holden and Ford Falcon panel vans were called "shaggin' wagons".
Yes please continue doing them. A lot of fun watching you both figuring them out!
my co worker once referred to my boss as old mate and I was like ouch you really have fallen out with him.
most savage thing I've heard
Back in the early 70s, cheap wine came in large bottles (I'm guessing about 3 pints or thereabouts) called flagons. "Flagon" became jokingly known as "flagoon", and then just "goon" or "gooner". Cask wine came along in the mid-to-late 70s, and quickly displaced flagons as the popular vessel for cheap swilling wine, and "goon" was transferred to it.
I understand the goon box/sack is an Aussie invention. I remember clearly when they first came out (well, as much as I can clearly remember my ill-spent youth in the 70s 😆)
@@susanhabib8211 Yeah, it's a bit of a haze for me too.
Yeah, nah! A flagon is was port comes in!!
Oh!! So that's where the word goon comes from! I confess I only think of flagons in terms of sherry, cos that's what my parents get. Disappointingly it's hard to get the 2L ones now. Or, for that matter sherry, since it's mostly called apera now.
For that matter we can't get 4L goon bags here in WA now either, apparently (not really a wine drinker myself)
@@samanthafairweather9186 McWilliams sweet and dry sherry was also in flagons.
You need to watch Kaitlyn Amanda. Lady from the U.S. married an Australian and for the past year lives in Sydney. She has a very good perspective on AU/US life.
Tree climbing drop dears actually existed in Aussie 15mill years ago as proven by the NSW university that classed them as Koalas on steroids. The "drop bears" typically lived in rainforests between southern Queensland and NSW along with other animals such as flesh-eating kangaroos, tree-climbing crocodiles, lions, and giant-toothed platypuses. Some people say, they still exist hidden in the rainforest and do venture into more habitable areas.
Dropbears represent one the most distinctive characteristics of the Australian personality.
It's more than what the brits call banter, it's more like collective pranking.
If an Australian sees someone getting pranked, they'll tend to go along with it because it's hilarious.
Just something to keep in mind if you're actually visiting Australia, asking for a second opinion if you think you're being misinformed is probably not going to work the way you think it might.
Debbie, it's a rare American who can come close to saying g'day properly, so good for you 😊 P.S. Aussies want N&D, and DROPBEARS DON'T EXIST 🤣
I was just saying to my husband how I love how all Australians just go with it though and carry on the drop bears to any non-australians.
Like one person made them up and everyone's like "that's a thing now".
Not many things band a country together but our drop bears are one 🤣
@@Vexatious011 Dropbears aren't the only thing that came into existence randomly, quite a few years ago an Aussie bloke in a pub in the UK I think it was? I could be wrong, but overseas somewhere, was talking to some of the locals and getting bombarded with questions about Australia, and he started answering some of them as jokes, just making stuff up as he went along for the fun of it. The phrase "not here to f*** spiders" came about from that conversation, it spread, it stuck, and has become a common weird Aussie slang phrase.
shhhhhh, don't let that out of the bag (about dropbears) 😆
Yes, we always tell people Drop Bears don't exist, after we've told them they do, because it really really freaks out prospective tourists.
You'll be ok, as long as you stay away from eucalypt forests. Favourite haunt of Drop bears and mass murderers.
Shags are cormorants, water birds that don't have waterproof feathers. They hang their wings out to dry, usually on a rock. It means they stand out.
By the way, Dropbear is an imaginary animal like a vicious koala.... we use it to scare tourists but it doesn't really exist. It's based on the idea that everything in Australia is trying to kill you.... we love the idea!!
Aaaaah yeah, But don't forget the Bunyip !
Stop it, that's mean, they might come here and be attacked by them because you told them they weren't real. you should be ashamed of yourself, you know the code so Shhhhhhhh. :)
Why would you ruin it? Ergh.
I’m going to dispel the myth of the dropbear for you. About 20 or so years ago an Australian institution, known to many as Bundaberg rum used their popular mascot, a polar bear (polar bear representing the rum warding off the deepest chill by the rums warming effect, by the way) in the advertising campaigns. One such advertisement depicts two hapless Australian males on a beach campsite with two attractive german ladies which they’re attempting to make ‘acquaintance’ with. The two boys are hopeless, and in their hopelessness one of them says to not camp under the trees because there is drop bears, the german girls of course think he’s full of it and then low and behold the bundy bear thumps to the ground out of the tree. The girls are petrified and run to the boys aid, bundy bear supplies the rum and they all live happily ever after. The term dropbear has been adopted into the Australian vernacular ever since.
You’re welcome. But don’ttell other yanks, its too funny when they believe they exist.
If they stop being afraid of dropbears or bunyips there are always those hoop snakes
The outback is the outback whereas the bush is the bush. They’re two distinct places.
Loving this channel. I hope one day you come to Australia and do a series of videos!
Keep going mates im enjoying your reactions. A shag is a somewhat weird seaside bird that stands on rocks after diving for fish with its wings spread to dry.
Phalacrocoracidae is a family of approximately 40 species of aquatic birds commonly known as cormorants and shags. After diving under in search of a fish, they commonly roost near above the water surface (on rock or branch) to dry their wings - e.g. A Shag on a Rock.
Second R-rated meaning: Shag is also Aussie slang for Sexual Congress - e.g. A Panel Van with a mattress in the back may be termed "a Shaggin' Wagon". In Australia a Panel Van is like a commercial (business) version of a Station Wagon, but without a rear seat, rear doors, or rear side windows.
"Shag on a rock" refers to the coastal bird shag. Closely related to the cormorant. They perch themselves on rocks to dry off & sometimes stretch their wings out. Great bird. They stick out like dogs balls if around.
You ladies are so funny, this is the first time I've seen your video. Now I have to go and watch them all🤣.
Aussies want N&D! You should definitely do more slang videos, there’s some really excellent and totally unique vernacular in Oz
I knew exactly where Natasha's thoughts were going; especially after how budgie smuggler went!! A Shag or Cormorant is a bird that feeds on fish, and they usually sit on a rock waiting for a fish to swim by; sometimes they will perch on a limb of a tree, that is close to the water.
Love your Australian videos. Being from Queensland I really enjoyed them all.. Keep them coming.
Aussie here, i really love that in my day to day life i would never meet people like you, but online i can enjoy your reactions, so thank you.
A Galah is a parrot-like bird indigenous to Australia which is reportedly quite tough to eat. Someone asked a bushman (someone who lives in the bush) how to cook a Galah and got the following answer: "Start a fire . . . chuck a couple of rocks in it . . . chuck a Galah in . . . When the rocks go soft, you can eat the Galah!"
I always knew it as "when the rocks go soft, throw out the galah and eat the rocks"
Galahs are protected in some states.
Thank goodness !!! ... or we would definitely be serving them up at Coles and Woolies deli's !!!! .. 🤣
A Galah is a Roseate Cockatoo. You don't eat the Galah, you throw the Galah away and eat the rocks. It's the same method for cooking Buffalo Brim fish.
I’d love you to make more videos on Australia! Aussies love N & D!
My fav Aussie expression is “We’re not here to f#ck spiders”. It means to get on with it, we’re not here to waste time. 😂
Just thought I would elaborate a bit more on the Budgie Smuggler. A "Budgie Smuggler" actually refers to a pair of men's tight swimming briefs, so a man's tackle (as it were) looks like they're smuggling a Budgerigar (a small Australian parakeet, which we shorten to Budgie) in their swimming briefs
Aussies wont N&D! That was bloody funny watching your faces.. and dirty mind's 🤣😂😆😂.. I love my country Australia.. it's nice to see you both enjoying it as well 😊. Tack care ladies.look forward to your next video
More Aussie videos please ... BTW, the 2023 AFL season starts on March 16 with a game between 2 of the most famous clubs Richmond (my team) playing Carlton. Match takes place roughly 7.20pm Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT) start time Eastern time US is approximately 3.20am. I watched your what is AFL video and thought you may be interested in this game as there is certain to be somewhere between 80,000 and 90.000 people attend the game.

"Having a yarn" comes from our indigenous people in Australia and not enough people acknowledge it.
But Tash you mentioned telling a story and that is basically spot on! Having a yarn Having a chat telling a story 😊
It is also a Kiwi saying.
Stands out like a shag on a rock is when shags (cormorants ) are wet from swimming and their feathers are waterlogged they stand out in the sun ( they like rocks because of the heat they give of to help dry their feathers quicker) with their wings spread trying to dry them , it makes them easy to spot hence the saying stands out like a shag on a rock.
The Pommy slang comes from when the English transported prisoners to Australia they had the letters P.O.M.E on the prison uniforms and it stood for Prisoner Of Mother England on them it was later slanged to Pommy / Pommie to show people came from England
OMG I couldn't stop laughing at your expressions when you got some of them wrong LOL 🤣🤣Please 🙏Please 🙏do more of these it was awesome xx Oh I'm an Aussie btw x
Another amazing video by you 2 awesome ladies. Loving the Australian videos and learning along with you. I knew a few of these but not many.
stands out like a shag on a rock mean
Isolated, lonely, stranded, or abandoned. A shag is an Australian term for a cormorant, which often perches alone on cliffsides.
POMMY derived from the acronym POHM (pronounced "pom") which means Prisoner Of Her Majesty, it was originally to describe early prisoners from England.
Tuck shop, a shop you buy lunch from at School.
Yank, American, comes from the New York Yankees baseball team, however us Aussies broaden it to all Americans.
Overall, you two did quite well as these for the most part are not well known outside of Australia. Well done.
Aussie joke: Q - how do you know when a plane load of POHMs has landed at Sydney Airport? A - the whining doesn't stop when they turn off the engines. (I'm a pommy btw, just love the joke. There's a lot of this generally good natured leg pulling between the various nations I have to say. We like the Aussies really 🤣)
POHM is a myth. There are very few acronyms from before the second world war.
Snopes says: "The best guess at this time is that "pommy" was based on the word "pomegranate" - either because the redness of the fruit supposedly matched the typically florid British complexion, or because (like "Johnny Grant") it was used as rhyming slang for "immigrant.""
Prisoner Of Mother England ( pome) Or Person of Migration ( Pom)
They forgot about "Seppo's" - septic tank, aka yank!
Red as a pomegranate. Get it right
he actually has a pretty common accent, most aussies sound similar to that, i think the accent your thinking of is the bogan accent so it would be cool if you did a video learning about the australian accents
Yes the broad Australian accent 😂
I have a broad accent. Younger people tend to sound a bit more like him?
On the 'Pommy' or 'POM' slang, as Jacob said, it is what we Aussies call the British. It comes from the days of when the Brits sent their convicts to Australia and they were referred to as 'Prisoners Of his Majesty' or 'POM's' for short.
Tuck shop is where you buy tucker at school. Tucker is another word for food. The tuck shop has s usually just a small kiosk with an opening to the outside.
I love when you do Australian videos. Rebel Wilson and Margot Robbie also did an Australian slang video.
Cate Blanchett has also done one recently
@@chrmnlp4413yes Cates was great and was only this week
and they're true blue Aussies
It's an exaggeration of attack koalas. They don't do that, but the number of Americans that believe it is amazing.
Rebel Wilson cracks me up with her stories, 'ehh ya bush pig!' lol
I'm from the UK and I used to work in Woolies. You are correct it was originally an American company, but the British side of the company separated from the American part in the late 1980's, and then ceased trading in the late 1990's early 2000's due to poor management decisions.
2009 was when the shops closed, 2015 was when the website formed after the shops closed folded.
The history of woolies is a little different here in Australia.
“Woolworths had first opened in 1924 in Sydney's Imperial Arcade as a variety store called Woolworths Stupendous Bargain Basement. The store had no links to the Woolworth chain of five and dime stores in the USA and unashamedly stole the name when the founders realised it had not been registered in Australia.”
A shag is a bird. They can be seen standing with their wings spread. Some always thought it was to dry them after diving for food, but apparently it is a cooling method.
🦘🇦🇺 Pom/Pommy - The most common explanation is that it's a reference to Australia's past as a convict colony. “Pom” is supposedly a bastardised acronym, meaning “prisoner of Mother England” or “prisoner of Her Majesty”
More Aussie stuff!
Have a look for Tristian Kuhn. He's an American back packer that spent a couple of years in Australia and has done a heap of US/Aussie comparison videos, including a lot more slang.
Thanks, we will!!!
I've seen a couple of his videos, and the majority of his comparisons could also be applied to the UK! "They call gas petrol; they call the trunk of a car the boot; they call fries chips; they call cookies biscuits..." etc.
Aussies want more N & D this was fun no such thing as a dropbear.You girls are cracking me up.
Aussies want N&D!!!
“Tuckshop, we have drag queen friends” 😂😂😂😂😂💀
You two have a great sense of humour, I think you would fit right in, in Australia!!!
I love that you’re going to use “old mate”
It’s one of my favourite slang terms haha
Fair Dinkum. I'm surprised you hadn't heard of our Dropbears. We don't really keep it a secret. In fact most of us will warn backpackers to be careful when they camp in the bush not to pitch the tent under a yellowbox gum tree.
The Koalas carnivorous cousin has a thirst for any flesh and opportunistic in it's hunting and will launch out of a high branch onto the shoulders (hence dropbear) generally trying to bite at the neck artery to bring its prey down..
They're usually only found on the rural to suburban fringes and deeper into the bush and scrub these days.
Aussies want N&D 🇦🇺🇦🇺 😂 the bush that you are thinking of, often called the map of Tasmania here. Check out the shape of Tassie and you will see why 😂
I am going to pass this on to my daughter, who now lives in Vancouver Canada. She is due to go to Australia for a few weeks in March. She is an engineer and demonstrating her companies AUV which is basically a robot submarine. I have pasted on the Australian snack one. She is not coming to the UK this year but we are holidaying in Greece together. I will past on any others that may be of help to her. Keep up the great content!
Where in Oz is she going ?
@@monicaking2140 I believe it's Sydney.
@@nigelbundy4008 oh ok, if it was Melbourne I was going to give you some dets as a local :-). Just tell her to bring at least one warm jacket or rain jacket, it’s not always blue skies and sunshine hehe.
A shag is a water bird, known for standing on rocks or overhanging branches over waterways. Usually its got its wings stretched out drying... drawing attention to itself
Love ya ladies and a huge hello from Ron in Childers Queensland Australia 🦘🦘🦘 and yes Aussie want N&D Australia is great place come over and you'll never want to go back
Add more Aussie based videos, is funny watching you both try work us out. We are very monotone when we speak.
A Shag is a sea bird that, when seen, will be sitting on a rock in or near the sea watching for fish. Large dark and obvious, they do stand out against sea or sky.
Natasha LOVES Birds! Gotta do a video on Australian Birds!
@@TheNatashaDebbieShowoh please do! I had 28 cockatoos at my house the other day when I put out seed for them. I adore birds and I'm very in love with our Australian birds, I think they're the most beautiful in the world. Not so much the noises they make though (very loud) 😂
@SerenitySoonish would really appreciate if you could help us find a link to a video that captures as many of Australian Birds???
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow no problem, I'll have a look what I can find 😊
@@SerenitySoonish appreciate that a ton!!! Join us over on our FB page!! Links in the description of all our videos
Pommy comes from Prisoner of His Majesty - how many Brits ended up in Aus. One of my favourite phrases is ‘rattle your dags’. I’m from the country and I use it all the time.
Another great reaction to this most recent instalment. You ladies really need to see the video on The great Emu Wars of 1930s Australia . It was a real thing that actually happened ! Have a great ladies ,love your channel and enjoy seeing getting educated on all things Australia. Cheers from Rod and Kaz ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🍻🦘
Yes please!! My inner 12-year-old and I both want more N&D 😄
Good on ya lol,Thank you, I had a good laugh
"old mate"
Is some random (unknown) person. .
As in "I was walking to the bank and old mate steps out of the bookstore and bumps into me and knocks my glasses off my face"
OR ; "I was at the football game and I fell asleep (too many beers) When I woke up I turned around and asked old mate "What's the score?" he says gimme a beer and I'll tell ya!"
Tuckshop comes from the old term for Tucker which is a word for food in the 1930's when men travelled around to get jobs. Also in the song waltzing matilda the sheep (jumbuck) is put into the tucker bag.
You might like to check out the QANTAS, I Still Call Australia Home video. It is an ad for the airline but I reckon you’ll enjoy the feels…as honorary Aussies!
It's funny you said he didn't have a strong accent, I think most Aussies have a similar accent to him, including myself, I'd say mine is less "Aussie" than his, I wish it was stronger. Younger Australians tend to have less strong accents in general whether it's more of the posh accent or the rural one. Stronger accents are usually indicative of growing up in rural areas, but are stronger in older people probably because of less exposure to different accents/less diversity. Most Australian accents in American media are very exaggerated or fake, I've seen Americans not recognise Australian accents before for this reason!
Didn't really lose my shit til 'tuckshop'....my childhood memories are shattered lmao 🤣😂
Aussies want N&T! I am an Aussie, love your show especially how you honour (honor) military personnel around the world. I enjoy your comments, which at times are funny, but well balanced.
Hi dear ladies, an Australian segment would be great , thanks for your interest in my country, xx Sydney, Australia
That was great and so much fun, I knew more than I thought I would. AUSSIE’S WANT N&D 🧡🤣❤️❤️
Australia is such a cool country that can teach you so much while being fun and interesting. You should give it a go!
Shag on a rock. Shag is another common name for a cormorant. They dive underwater for fish & (not surprisingly) get wet. To dry out they perch on a rock & spread their wings out wide: hence become very visible.
I remember going into a bar in Belize with some Aussie sailors already there. We heard , oh look boys, here's some Pommy poofta's 🤣🤣 I still love forces humour
That word was used in Australia a lot but it is now highly offensive. Thank goodness times have changed
@Monica King we weren't offended in the slightest
@@colrhodes377 oh they were talking to you maybe they were modern boys themselves :-).
@Monica King nope, just everyday forces banter. We service peeps love to laugh at each other and with each other
@Monica King in answer to your question that's vanished, no, not at all.
Yes please more Australian videos 🇦🇺🇦🇺
You lady’s are so funny , the blokes not downing the best job but I’m getting what he’s saying but you two are priceless
This was fun to watch. I didn't know any of those slang either.
The drop bear (sometimes dropbear) is a hoax in contemporary Australian folklore featuring a predatory, carnivorous version of the koala.
As we say in the U.K.
A chance is as good as a rest.
A Brit wanting more Aussie content.
I think you mean change
When the term " Budgie Smugglers " (plural ) surfaced , it pointed towards someone wearing " speedos " looked like he had 2 budgies fighting to get out of his speedos.
Can't believe Jacob didn't know what a shag on a rock was. Bloody galah! ;)
A shag is a large solitary sea-going bird like a commorant. Much bigger than your typical seagul. So if you're down at the beach and you glance over towards the rocks you might sea a flock of seaguls and one large black bird. It will literally stand out like a shag on a rock
Love your Aussie content,from Melbourne Australia.
The accent is a normal city Australian accent with some education.
AUSSIE WANT MORE N&D
We are such a little population down here.. most of the world knows about kangaroos and Sydney but very little about us as people.. we love to watch people have their minds blown.
Yes … more Australian content please.
Best wishes from a proud Aussie Veteran.
G, day funny video can't wait for more videos 👍
this Aussie wants more of N and D doing Aussie videos. Your reactions are priceless 😃 BTW, he may be Australian but he is a bit of a novice where Aussie slang is concerned, especially not knowing the origins of some of the words/phrases he introduced.There are better Aussie slang videos on RUclips, esp a three part series put together by a young American chap who spent a couple of years over here. Sorry, can't remember his name.
