I tend to say traveller instead of roadie for grabbing a cold one to go. Have only just discovered you. I love your laugh. Keep up the good work. Cheers!
I'm writing a character for a story of mine with a thick Aussie accent and these videos have been incredibly helpful. I kinda feel bad that most Aussies in movies/TV have their slang boiled down to just "g'day!" and "oi mate" and "throw a shrimp on the barbie" when there's so many interesting slang terms/phrases
A great introduction to the difficulties in understanding Aussie slang is to watch the great Aussie film based on a book written by John O'Grady called "The're a weird mob". Basically, an Italian immigrant who moved to Sydney in the 1960s and how he found the cultural and language barriers and how he delt with them. A very funny film but does capture the true periodic lifestyle and language barriers thrown at newcomers to the great land of Aussie. Great educational book series and film.
I really enjoy your videos! As an Aussie living in Germany I haven't heard these for a while. I'm forwarding your videos to my daughter and her buddies who will go on an exchange to OZ- super helpful. Many thanks.
Hey Candice, while I was listening and you were going through the 3 differing uses of "knock off" . You forgot one! I'm sure you will kick yourself.... "Knock off" or "knock something off" in Australia also means to steal something. So that's 4 uses for that phrase everybody haha. Your fellow Aussie Ben here Candice. Not doing so well in Sydney right now. But I always love watching your videos, thanks for putting them out there for the world 😁
I first visited the US with a mate in 1985. That was before Crocodile Dundee and when most Yanks had not heard an Australian accent. We did an 8 week Contiki tour and around 4 weeks into it, we were having a conversation with the bus driver and tour guide and they mentioned that when they first took the job, they had a very hard time understanding Australians but after a year or so considered themselves experts. I said that most would probably have been speaking slower and using basic words for their benefit. They said they didn't think so. I said my mate and I could have a conversation in a 'language' that whilst English, they'd be lucky to get 5% of. They said they found that hard to believe so we spoke slang to each other for the next 5 minutes and I don't mean we just recited a bunch of slang expressions at random like you did here, but had a proper conversation in slang and when we'd finished, I asked the two Yanks what we'd said and needless to say, they had no clue. I wish someone had videotaped it but believe me, the look on their faces as my mate and I were speaking was utterly priceless.
I'm an Aussie and I've never said "calm the farm". In fact, hardly anyone uses rhyming slang anymore. And "roadie" just means someone who helps build and dismantle state sets for bands. Never heard it refer to a drink.
Fiona M There often is a difference in slang between states. I use ‘calm the farm’ and ‘roadie’ on a regular basis. We probably just grew up in different regions. 🙂
Southern: Calm the farm'= 'Chill'. 'lightes are on nobodys home...we use that as well as 'Not the sharpest tool in the shed', 'knife in the drawer'. 'Bumper to bumper' very common here. 'Have it out' we use as well as 'Had it out' eg. they really had it out. 'Up the creek... we have as well... 'Up sh_t's creek'!
I cannot remember which one but you mention that we refer to the salvation army as salvos whilst this is true I grew up referring to them as sallys or Vinnies. Ang from Sydney
Hi! I'm a new subscriber I always admire the aussie accent and i want learn how to speak it and I found your channel. Been watching your videos now for 2 days. And it really helps me in my learnings. Keep it up and keep teaching! 😇❤
@@candicemoll8386 Thanks for replying Candice. Just want to share that I've made a vlog talking in Aussie accent to practice what I've learned so far. If you have time to watch it would be highly appreciated: ruclips.net/video/6wligjWurhc/видео.html
Aaaah your cooking video is so fun! You’re nailing the silent R in words like ‘pepper’. Perfect! In words like ‘heat’, try making that long vowel sound just a bit longer. Keep up the good work, you’re doing great!!
@@candicemoll8386 Thank you Candice for taking time to watch. I really appreciate it and how you commend and teach me the proper way for some words. ❤ Wishing you success and more subscribers to your channel. ❤
Ouch. You should have worn a 'stackhat'. Edit: Rubbish can also be used as a verb to mean disparaging/criticising someone or something, "Karen rubbished all of my suggestions to the boss." Bloody Karen, she's always doing that...

It's interesting that in the US they call a person who takes care of the instruments of a band "roadie".
You're too cute, I can’t focus on the lesson🙄❤️
Haha! Thanks love :p
Yeah me too 💖💖
Im 'stralian and still don't know some of these
Yeah some of them might be specific to states. Still fun though! :p

J W oh that’s so true! I didn’t think of that! 🤓
Thieves motto - Never sneeze, never cough, if it's not nailed down knock it off.
