    A stubbie short of a six pack could also be "a few shingles short of a full roof"; "a few sandwiches short of a picnic"; "the stairs don't go to the top floor" ; "not the full quid (a pound in pre-decimal money)" etc. i.e. not all there. My favourite for crazy is "there's a few roos loose in the top paddock". Thanks, I really had a good laugh WITH you about our slang.

    A Budgerigar (Budgie) is a small native Aust. parrot. You have them as pets in the US and call them parakeets for reasons known only to yourselves. So a Speedo, we call 'Budgie smugglers', I think you can figure it out. You did a great job of working out the answers on these except 'Sparrow fart' means very early, when the birds wake up, doesn't everyone fart when they wake up?🤣❤

    Budgie smugglers refers specifically to speedo type swimwear. On a man. Imagine the shape of the "front" of the swimwear when they are ON. Then imagine a Budgie wich is a small Australian parakeet that is small enough to be held in your hand...... make the connection.....

    "Sparrow's Fart" is rhyming slang for "Day's Start".
    And in traditional rhyming slang style, we sometime remove the bit that rhymes, like "Have a Butcher's" means "Butcher's Hook" or "Have a Look".
    So up at "Day's Start" will become up at "Sparrow's Fart" which becomes up at "Sparrow's"

    One of the problems Americans face with understanding Australian English is that it sounds different when we pronounce the same word. A major reason is that we often split our syllables at different locations in the word. eg. Sanga is pronounced 'sang - ah' (not san-ga') with no pause between the two syllables and a very soft G.
    Emu is the classic American 'mistake'. We pronounce it 'eem --you', whereas most Americans would automatically say 'ee-moo'.
    PS . I give you a pass on the 'Stubbie short of a six pack' question. The test was Australian slang, not the definition of crazy versus silly.

    Thanks Ryan. Been following you for a while. You’re just so nice and kind … not making fun of our quirks, but interested to know more. I think one of the main differences in our speech is…I reckon when Americans start school they are taught phonetics. You sound out every part of a word. We seem to ignore most of the sounds and just slide over them. Eg you see Brisbane, as Bris Bain. We just say Bris bin Same with words with an R, like Melbourne. You say Mel born…we say Melb in. And we don’t end ing words with a hard g sound..we just slide into sing without the hard g. You’re very entertaining…a must watch! ❤️From Queensland…all one word, not broken up into 2 words😳😳😳

    There are two others that mean the same thing as a stubbie short of a six-pack, but older (before six-packs were even invented): a sandwich short of a picnic, and a snag (sausage) short of a barbie. None of them means "crazy" exactly; they all mean really a bit thick in the head, a bit dumb. Another using different imagery is "not the sharpest tool in the shed (knife in the drawer)".
    For "crazy", an old expression that some people still use is that the person has a "roo loose in the top paddock".

    You're right, Ryan. Like a lot of similar expressions implying that someone falls short of the usual complement of something, "a stubbie short of a six-pack" means "stupid, mentally deficient". If someone were crazy or behaved erratically we might say that they had kangaroos in their top paddock.
    "Yakka" is pronounced with the first "a" short as in "can" or "man". "Sanger" is pronounced which a ŋ but without the hard "g" sound. And the final "R" is silent, as usual.

    I agree with you Ryan (and I am Australian). "a stubbie short of a six pack" is someone who isn't quite all there mentally.....someone who does silly things and someone who acts crazy are the same thing. Someone who IS crazy or slow or thick is a better description. They are "a sandwich short of a picnic" is used over here more than the "beer short of a six pack" anyway.

    We say 'hard yakka' ('a' is sounded like in apple not yarka) and yes, it means hard work. We even have (or had) overall brand called Yakka an 'hard yakka' was used in the ad for them. Of course we wear hard helmets on building sites or anywhere that can be dangerous but we call them 'hard hats'.

    Good on you. Just one thing: I have never heard of anyone ever in Australia say, “Happy arvo!” as a greeting. You’d be more like to say just, “afternoon!” or “G’day” (but not with mate added, usually). Actually, in the arvo, you’d probably be more likely to greet someone with “How’s it goin’ (pronounced like gaon)”

    Hi Ryan, well done on the quiz. A Drongo would be someone doing silly things. Someone that is a stubbie short of a six pack is someone that is a bit crazy.
    Also in my part of AUS, we say sparrow fart not Sparrows fart. Its a bit like the word maths and math for mathematics.

    "Budgie smugglers" means "men's briefs", and referring to swimwear it only means the type of racing briefs you would call "speedos". The expression goes back to a news story in about 1983 about a man being arrested at Sydney airport trying to smuggle endangered parrots out of Australia (for the international pet trade) hidden in his underwear. For context, "budgies" are budgerigahs, a kind of small Australian parrot often kept as pets.

I’d love it if you could find something about Tasmania to react to. Tasmania is the most wild and beautiful state in the nation, with Hobart being a very cosmopolitan city in the state’s south. I love all your reactions so far! I’m also married to an American from Massachusetts who’s lived with me down under for 20 years. We’ve gone back and forth to the States most years except for the last three and spent most of our time in California and New England. Cheers! Suzi.
