When l was an electrician in the navy(Australian), the best joke on the 'newbies' was to send them to the electrical store(onboard the ship) to get a fuse for a 'deadlight'. FYI: a 'deadlight' is the cover over a porthole, it's just a piece of metal; and no moving parts.
Yeah I was the first female fitter machinist in Australia since the war and I think the best one was being sent to the store for a long weight. The store man would disappear and about 15 min later he’d come back and ask was that long enough. Lol
As other ppl have said, Tucker is food. Even in our Primary School, years ago for me but know ppl with young kids & teenagers who still all use, the ‘Tuck Shop’ at school, it is where you went during school breaks if you wanted to buy lunch. Obviously the meat pies, sausages rolls & dim sims were always a must have with zooper doopers or paddle pops.
Every apprentice should learn the difference between a left handed screwdriver hammer or spanner to a right handed one. There's also a need to know what elbow grease is used for and what a long weight is.
My lovely old dad always wanted us kids to get him a left-handed sky hook when he just needed that little extra to complete a tricky manoeuvre. Love him to bits and I still use the saying as a 70+ yr old granny.
I had a mate who was telling me about the first and last time his boss tried to mess with him when he was an apprentice, sending him to the store for a left handed hammer. Knowing there was no such thing, he went and bought the most expensive hammer he could find, lol
My son was sent for a 'long weight'. He came home, had lunch, played cod, had a kip went back to work 2 hours later, with a kitchen weight tied to a ball of string. He told his boss ' the bloke at the store said he only had the really long weights. Here ya go' They left him alone after that.
I worked with a guy whose son became an apprentice aircraft engineer, the workers sent him across the (very large hangar) to pick up a generator and bring it over to them, so he did! The fact that it weighed 140kg (near 300 pounds) convinced them to stop playing tricks on him! Probably just as well as he later went on to fight for the heavyweight MMA championship of Australia.
Now you need to know that an electrician is a sparky, a carpenter is a chippie, a brick layer is a brickie and tradesmen are tradies. My uncle told me when he was an apprentice he was sent to the workshop for a "long weight" which was actually a long wait lol. They just wanted him out of their hair.
when I was working in a metal factory, it was common for the apprentices to get asked to go get a "sky hook" which is a band from 70s & 80s, another is to ask them to get striped paint or the hole out of a circle lol
Oh, yeah… The old, “Go and ask the boss for a long weight (or is that supposed to be, wait”. Boss says, “Wait there while I go and get it.” …. Three and a half hours later he comes back and….”Well I s’pose that’s about long enough!” The weight in question would have been for a double-hung window sash…you have them in the United States too. Also: “Go det a can of rainbow coloured paint”. or: “Go get a bag of left-handed nostril expanders” For electricians there was another trick to make sure if they were awake….Get them to measure a large inductor, like the run windings on a biggish induction motor….with the low resistance ranges of a multi-meter. The low resistance ranges of an older style, analog multimeter could deliver 30mA or so and built up a fairly large magnetic field in the inductor being measured….when the probes were removed…and iff the “galoot” was touching them with either hand….the magnetic field built up in the inductor would suddenly collapese and produne a short voltage spike a few thousand volts high…enough to “wake up the dopey plonker” and toss him away from the bench….to the roaring laughter of everybody else present there. Modern digital multimeters use far lower currents on the resistance and contnuity testing ranges, so, sadly, this one is’t possible anymore. These “cruel” tricks were psychologically designed to make sure you ARE awake and aware all the time in an environment full of potential dangers…and to make dur your vommon sense was shapened to razor sharp…all the time!
I can relate been sent to a shop to ask for a long weight but the boss only left me for about 5-10 minutes and then he called me out the back and said they’re winding you up just tell blob because he knew that’s who would have sent me there that the long weight is the same price as the cans of striped paint. And I coped all their shit but would always be at work half an hour before them so I’d grab the mig welder and tack weld all their tools shut like pliers shifters multi grips and and vice grips and if they took revenge they would get to work and find a cut lock and have to spend another few hours with a grinder and apissed off boss who would walk past me with a big grin then walk over to my victim and tell them to stop fucking around and do some work then walk back past me trying his hardest not to laugh but as soon as his office door closes you’d hear him laughing his head off. Aah the good old days 😂😂🇦🇺
Sending someone out for tools that don't exist is a way of testing how much they know about the construction industry. If they know things like a long weight don't exist, and they want to get into the real stuff, then they are ready for regular duties. If they waste the bosses time by looking for them, then it's on the broom you go.
Yep, first couple of years you mess with the apprentices (and new tradies, always), then the little f'ers wise up and plan their own pranks. lot of good memories, as well as the shit ones.
This explains why I have never found a good Tradie. ( a qualified tradesperson such as electrician, plumber, tiler and son on ), because typically the apprentices are lazy and moronic, and take no pride in doing a good job, while at the same time , overcharging for a very poorly done job. Many years ago, tradesmen took pride in their work, an always made you pay a fair price, now its the opposite bad workmanship with rip off prices.
That's true in many cases - because these badly educated apprentices only go on to badly educate more apprentices, so the cleverness of all trades just dies.
@@asheronthedruid Yeh, The Shirt they wore the last few days & then threw in the back of the Ute to marinate. Seriously these guys will do anything for a mate, a child or an elder, even if they don’t know them from a bar of soap. Hand you a $50 with a Grin & a Joke or if that’s not going to help take up a collection in 5 minutes.
I don't miss portable poo pots but I remember one occasion taking an AGB in one on a 40d day and hand rinsing my stink star because there was no toilet paper 😇

If your boss is telling you how good you are just to get you to do a really shit job. Then he's ( pissing in your pocket) the response is ( fuck off piss off someone else's pocket ).
This is all a joke....he would not last in a real construction site. There is a small amount of truth. Apprentices have to attend training at least one day a week.
It's not quite all a joke. Years ago I worked at a site out in the bush - the stuff that went on there was more insane than anything that happened in this video!
And that's why housing has gone up by shitloads in the last decade. Someone has to foot the bill boys. That's why even the middle class have been priced out of the housing market. Also boys, you are expendable as there are tradies on visa's ready to take all your opportunities. Sadly.

Or down to the bottom of the ship to find the golden rivet. ;-)
lol. "Taking the piss" is everday language in OZ. Garn is awesome, they are always spot on.
Not in WA. These WA Aussie’s are miserable boring Cs.
a few of them went over your head but good on you for learning, you will be an honorary Ausie in no time,
merry christmas to you and your subscribers
At least spell Aussie right mate FFS
@thecountysfinest I think old mate here was taking the piss on how yanks keep mispronouncing the word Aussie
You’re learning to talk Aussie!!
We say “taking the piss outa ya” , but that is a goooood attempt my brother 🙌
Most definitely 🔥
I lost it when he came back and cut in line to use the toilet after leaving it locked.
Can't forget the pack of spare bubbles for the spirit level and a sky hook

The 1-D-10-T spray was our favourite
Ah yes sending the apprentice to the main store for a long weight , box of sparks, cans of striped paint etc.
My lovely old dad always wanted us kids to get him a left-handed sky hook when he just needed that little extra to complete a tricky manoeuvre. Love him to bits and I still use the saying as a 70+ yr old granny.
Taking the piss (or better yet taken tha piss) is spot on. You did well young grasshopper. Keep it up.

Garn is Australian for "Go on."
Going to, or going
" I garn down the pub, ewes comin? it's me shout"
@@triarb5790 I'm Garn
'go on' is for 'pull the other leg' or a delivery to a person who is tryin' to take the piss - LOL. Oh go on, you're pulling my leg - joke.
when I was working in a metal factory, it was common for the apprentices to get asked to go get a "sky hook" which is a band from 70s & 80s, another is to ask them to get striped paint or the hole out of a circle lol
oh and this channel has a heap of great vids, worth keeping them in handy to react to in future
Of course the phrase "Sky Hook" was used way before the band Sky hook existed
Skyhook brilliant band loved them growing up in the 70’s.
@@Sweetlyfe yeah I wasn't into them as such, but they had a lot of great songs, I'd love to hear a remix of Horror movie lol
@@vtbn53 I wonder if the Skyhooks were 'takin the piss' outta us even then?
comes back and unlocks the dunny and goes in , thats gold🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nah, they would have locked him in and turn the shit box upside down.
Its "taking the piss out of you" is the full expression.
Yeah, you said‘take the piss’ in the right context 👍😁
Oh, yeah…

My 16 year old son watches Garn. He also watches Yorak Hunt. Both good Aussie humour channels.
A quick tip: Ute not just a slang for a pickup truck but it is short for utility vehicle.
Yeah we don't have pick up trucks! 😂😂😂
@@QuestionThingsUseLogicUnless you're a crane operator that's having a shit day 😉

The sausage sizzle outside Bunnings for his charity was funny too.

takeing the piss out of you, is the saying lol
No mate ..takin the piss outta ya .is the correct spelling.
"Pull'n the piss outta ya" is more fun though, it implies a certain degree of resistance 😉
You actually have a minimum year 10 certificate or an equivalent to be a tradie or even start as an apprentice

You should react to. I'm on smoko by the chats its an Australian classic
As an Aussie I have to correct your pronunciation it's spelled Aussie but pronounced auzzie
Your got the expression rightthe first time lol so funny
Please do their bricklayer one
It's "Take the piss out of you" if you want to direct the saying at someone. Or "taking the piss".
Taking A piss, is something different, haha

Good tucker. Good Food...
G'day. It's "taking THE piss", not "A piss". Completely and utterly different meaning.
