Welcome back 💩 Today I’m reacting to a new channel I’ve never seen. Her name is Georgia and she’s an Australian RUclipsr. She did this video with an American RUclipsr named Kristin McAtee showing the differences between American and Aussie slang words. I love learning these things it’s so interesting. 💜

As you can hear, we drop lots of letters of our words, we also talk with like a nasal sound John Farnham is a classic example of Nasal Singing. Americans imo sound kinda Irish in their accent. Oh no the biscuits and gravy , that was a great laugh on Discord that day. Yep, Bottlo is real, it's usually a liquor store. If you wanna hear some real Aussie slang may i suggest searching for 'Housos' here on YT or 'Superwog' .
"Bottle-O" is a contraction of "bottle shop", which is your liquor store. Some Aussie English uses the same words for things but is contextual. So "chips" (fries) and "chips" (crisps like Lay's or Pringles) are understood in the surrounding context. If you want chips with your burger, you're very unlikely to be talking about a packet of Lay's. Same principle for "gutter" (kerb) and "gutter" (which collects rainwater from your roof). "I ran over the gutter turning into my driveway" doesn't mean you parked the car on the roof.😂
lol Good one!

Soda in Australia is a soft drink.Not fizzy drink.Australians under 30 yrs old speak different to Australians over 50 years old.
That makes sense, that’s here too. Younger crowds have totally different slang. I know Brit’s call it a fizzy drink tho.
@@ToniaElkins soft drink ✅
We call it Cool drink in West Oz .
59yo from the West of Oz & use all the above..fizzy,soft,cool.
@@sandgroperwookiee65yes fizzy drink or soft drink for me too !
Sloppy Joe is a cotton sweater shirt, napkin is a Serviette, Gutter replies to both curb and house,bottlo is a liquor store, The only things I disagree with she said is washcloth I call that flannel and I never say fizzy drink most people say lemonade, For any carbonated sweetened drink which I know it’s totally different to what you guys say the closest thing we would have to a American lemonade is a lemon squash and sparrows fart is an all-time classic Aussie slang. Larrikin is an Australian English term meaning "a mischievous young person, an uncultivated, rowdy but good-hearted person", or "a person who acts with apparent disregard for social or political conventions. That’s me Larrikin…Yes/no ?😂
Oh I didn’t catch that sloppy Joe was a shirt. It’s food here.
@@ToniaElkins Sloppy joe clothing includes jumpers, sweatshirts, windcheaters, sweaters and sweats. In Australia these warm, comfortable jumper tops are best known as the "sloppy joe". Nothing daggy about these casual sloppy joes windcheaters Australia.
Serviette/Toilet originate from the French, which a lot of the English words derive from, through occupation in past history.
Guttering for the roof , gutter for the road .🤙
We call gutters "drains"
We do not have fizzy drink, we have soft drink. We also dont have sloppy joes.
I was told in discord that your sloppy joes are a shirt not a sandwich like us 😂
@@ToniaElkins a "sloppy joe" in Australia is indeed a sweatshirt. When I was a kid we also used to call them a "windcheater". You still find that term around today in some places. Any non alcoholic carbonated drink is usually generically called "soft drink" (or just by brand name like you often do in the USA) but as a kid my parents used to call it "fizzy drink".
Another name for toilet is dunny or Loo.
The one word all my American friends laughed about when I lived there was pillow, I guess it’s the same as no- Aussies use a diphthong on our long “o” sound.
I think it’s cute how you guys say it.
Gutter for roof is still gutter or guttering
I bet you visited THE THUNDER BOX this morning
@@Jules-zi5qf 😆
We also have very thick accent example hadda gowin moite (Houw's it going mate) 😀
serviette DEFO...... WHINGING.(to complain) Pom (English person) Whinging Pom. aN English person who complains a lot because they are good at it
Biscuits and gravy. That's a new one for me. 👍
They’re delicious! I don’t think you’ll find many Americans who don’t like it.
We might need to do an American vs Canadian Video Tonia hahaha
Omg that’d be awesome!!
@@ToniaElkins I’d watch that 😂
You would find pennywise in a storm water drain here 😂
😂
In primary school I always said fizzy drink, now I switch between fizzy drink and soft drink.
I was surprised when a South Australian friend pointed out the difference in our accents, I'm from Melbourne. He said they say beer like beeeer (not much 'r 'a the end) and we say beeya. I'm exaggerating as it's hard to write the nuances. And I thought we all spoke Strine!
People from South Australia sound a bit Saffa to me. Once you listen, you can't unhear it.
It’s funny cuz that’s like here. All your accents sound the same to me (like we do to you) but I know where people are approximately from in the United states from their accents. But the Aussies & Brit’s I talk to all say they only hear southern accents here and like New York lol. But every southern accent is very different from the next. I live in the Midwest (Illinois) And aside from Chicago and northern Illinois in general, the rest of us sound Midwestern with some southern mixed in based on my region which we border Kentucky. It’s one of those, the more you listen to someone the more you notice it. Ive gotten better at noticing many English accents apart now.😁
Another good one was by a couple who lived & worked in Oz for a while.
"Testing our Australian Slang (American Expats in Australia)" on "Two Traveling Kings" channel.
The content and structure of Australian English aren't as literal as they are in American English. We don't sound out every vowel & consonant to the maximum degree. If there's a shorter way to say something, we've probably found it 😅 We also have more of a British influence in our general vocab and in our slang (at least in the older generations), because of our colonial past.
I always laugh when hear a American say " We were at the football rooting for our team" rooting slightly different meaning in Australia
Lol yeah we don’t use it for what you use it for 😂 So therefore we don’t feel weird at all saying it.
@@ToniaElkinslf you were at the football doing the Australian version of rooting l think maybe cops would show up lol
If it's paper it's a napkin if it's cloth it's a napkin for me. Aussie. American biscuits are scones to the rest of the world. Not all scones are sweet. Not a fizzy drink it's a soft drink and I've never seen a sloppy Joe in my 40 plus years as an Aussie. The penny wise is the drain.
I’ve heard from Brit’s that scones are very different than American biscuits. 🤷🏻♀️ But an Aussie in my discord explained to me that their Sloppy Joes are shirts (like dressing casual) while ours is a delicious sandwich lol.
@@ToniaElkins Brits may tend to make the sweet ones more often but it depends on the type your making you can have sweet or savoury scones. Your biscuits are what some savoury scone recioes are. If you've never had a chance to you should try pumpkin scones. Hot with butter mmmmmm
@@solreaver83 Oh ok! That sounds delicious! 🥰
Hmm..Serviette is the only word we havent got to shortening.
Kinda funny cuz y’all have a tendency to shorten everything and I love it lol
@ToniaElkins We do indeed!! But I'm sure all Aussies would agree that there is no acceptable way to shorten serviette.. servi is a no!! I don't even know of any nicknames for a serviette.. hmm, strange.
Follow Aussies, help me out if there is any slang for a serviette!!
@@shanegates678 Call it a napkin 😂
taking the dog out to the toilet is just more straightforward, it's clear what the dog is going to do, but a bathroom could mean a list of things
Not really cuz there’s no toilet lol. But the bathroom meaning different things is a good thing. I could do anything in there and you don’t know. I could be re doing my hair and makeup. Lol. It would just be incredibly bizarre here in the states if some American said they’re going to the toilet. Lol
@@ToniaElkins I was talking specifically about the dog scenario. In Australia and the UK if a girl says they're going to the toilet while at a bar or club or something, it's literally the same thing as Americans saying "bathroom", it could mean any of the the things you listed. the words are different but mean the exact same thing
@@rookere1604 I completely get that. I just meant it seems Brazen to just say toilet 😂
@@ToniaElkins for sure I can understand for non brits/aussies it might sound weird to just straight up say toilet. we still use bathroom and restroom sometimes depending on the situation and where you are
Yes, and in spanish is servilleta
Women and men in Oz have there own slang . Blokes are going to seen as sus if they use terms like Choccy, Bickie or Pressy .
Or really?
american i reli like you
You are the epitome of cat lady
💯
Unless your from back in the day the young ones don't know our old slang , like Seppo or Septic tank which meant Yank WW2 talk used a lot in the 70's Its Howzit Goin Straya is how we say Australia yeah its serviette . Kindy then year 1 to 12 Toilet is a Dunny or Thunder Box Panty hose in the 70's uh oh Razzamatazz yeah its the Bottlo some grog shops even have that name Larrikin or the 70's term a Mug Lair , Some others Dogs Eye is a meat pie a Dead Horse is Tomato Sauce and if its no good you will be Spewin or a big Chunda that looks like a Techni Coloured Yawn and if you got to pissed down the Pub you will have to take Shank's Pony to get home that means walk and no muckin around with the rubber hahah or she'l be Up The Duff
Thunder box 😂 Love that
As an Aussie, the majority of us would just say the actual drink by it's name , eg a coke or pepsi sprite etc
slang words for toilet shitter,Loo,dunny, bog for toilet or you might say I’m gonna go have a bog And my favourite Kyber pass. Which is a cockney slang word you really hear any more but I still use it.
@@ToniaElkins thunder box’s classic Aussie slang word☑️
@@firebrand2619 We do use “shitter” lol
Georgia has over a million subscibers. Just sayin.
Yes I saw. This was the first time I’d heard of her tho.
Pennywise is in a drain
this is funny as fuk!!
