I've noticed in the USA over many visits that some people seem to see wealth as an indicator that you deserve to be almost worshipped as a demi-god. Aussies are not impressed by flaunting wealth or power, but we're impressed by people who are "down to earth" and humble. If you're rich or powerful good on you, but we don't need to hear about it. Ordinary Aussies have famously called Prime Ministers "mate" when they like them, and "d**khead" when they don't, straight to their faces and in front of TV cameras.
Can I please add that the word aussie can be an insult in some places. The word we use is OZZIE, it comes from the slang pronunciation of the word australia coming out as OZtralia, this is why we are sometimes called the land of OZ and why we are called OZZIE'S. The word aussie was made up by some foreign twat who had no idea what they were talking about .
In South Oz we flash to let people into traffic as well, in the bush we right indicate to let someone pass, Truckies will always do this to let you know it’s safe..
Also here in Australia we have tall poppy syndrome (poppy is a plant) and if you think your gonna be the tallest and best over others we will cut you down quick so we are the same. We don't like people thinking they are better than others
Omg when I arrived in Australia nearly 40 yrs ago from the UK I was invited to a baby shower and told to bring a plate. I thought they must be short on crockery so I brought 4 with nothing on lol.
No speeding in Australia...20 years ago I did 71 on a 60 road...it was a $485 fine. My sister did 103 on a 100 highway and got fined a couple hundred dollars. Fines are very high here for breaking traffic laws...so no one breaks them.
I think if I lived in America and heard the way some people talk to serving staff, I would seriously have to smack them. Some people are so rude it’s unbelievable! They are there to serve you they are not your servants!
D'Artagnan is a cool name. Real person and fictional hero of "The Three Musketeers". Dumas, the author, grandma was was African. Dumas would probably be considered Black in the contemporary US. Mainly a comment for the algorithm.
Not only this, but Thomas-Alexandre Dumas (Alexandre Dumas' Father) was a well respected and highly ranked military officer, holding several titles in the French Military, infact being the first person of colour to hold such titles.
Australians use “mate” in many different ways: 1. M A A A A T E! 2. Hey mate, that’s not good, cut it out! 3. He is a good mate of mine, I will look after him. 4. My husband (or wife) is my best mate. 5. Those 2 pommies would be good mates to have.
On the speeding topic, while it does happen and there are fines if you get caught. The governments and local councils invest heavily in fixed-point speed cameras, mobile speed cameras and average speed cameras. They're all over the place. On my short 20-minute drive to work, I pass two fix-point speed cameras and commonly a mobile speed camera. In the cities areas, we are starting to see mobile phone detection cameras as well.
Treating people equally is why we have a huge tall poppy syndrome thing here. Noone cares how much u make, noone likes people who brag, we all work hard and we all receive in various ways and if try to big note urself, u will be pulled back down. In NSW we flash our lights for cops, we flash to let someone know they can move back into a lane, we never flash to say thanks, we wave instead. When we have bbq's guests always bring their own booze, byo, is an unwritten rule, if we cater sometimes we ask guests to bring a platter and advise what platter to bring i.e someone will bring bread rolls, another will be asked to bring a salad actually a cpl people will be asked for a salad , some a desert/cake with is generally a cheesecake or a pavlova. Putting on a bbq can be expensive and if u are poor, u cant put on a barbie so everyone donates to the day and u supply the expensive thing being the meat and house/backyard. Some alcohol is supplied like a case of beer n a bottle of white n red wines n some softies and u dont touch anothers booze without asking. It sounds complicated but its just about being a community, everyone pitches in.
@@karlfoxwell8383 its what seta us apart from the rest of the world. The brits do it but i dont think their sense if community is on par anymore. Even with migrants, we take them n n god help the gov n anyone else that tries to remove them i.e the Biloela family.
Regarding cats, it’s for keeping them indoors at night, I have not heard any laws about having cats inside permanently. I live in Queensland, have cats and along with having them registered it is also law to have them indoor at night.
In NSW we flash our lights to let someone drive in a situation where it's confusing, or where you have right of way but are being generous and allowing them to go first.
In Tassie, if there’s a turning lane that has to cross oncoming traffic and someone in the oncoming traffic decides that they will let some cars cross then they will flash their lights. Didn’t know it wasn’t done in other states. But yeah I was so confused when some people flashed their lights at me on the highway because I thought they were telling me that there was a hazard but nope there was a police car further along. Thankfully I wasn’t speeding anyway but it did distract me so I can see why it’s dangerous and would incur a fine.
She forgot sanga, for sandwich. We call things on buns, burgers though. To say thankyou, give a thumbs up, or bring your finger and thumb into a circle. Country people raise an index finger, it's a farmer thing, just to acknowledge folks.
GDAY ..DT…From Australia…MATE…AN AWSE NAME FROM A FABULOUS BOOK…..just like Aramis ,..Athos, Porthos …”.DARTAGNAN” .he was the ..”YOUNG DUCKS GUTS”..of the 3 MUSKETEERS…..sorta like being…THE CHAD of THE SWORD….in the story..
When someone on the videos you watch and say it's expensive to live over here thay forget that our basic weekly wage is AU$ 22.oo per hour and most of our food is seasonal or some come over sea's , but all up the prices are resalable to our wages
About 8 years ago i used to work for a very well known Aussie company that paid 32 for basic daytime work, 72 on Sundays. It was usually busy. Then an American brand bought them out, raised prices, and cut wages. The brand suffered heavily and so did most people that worked there as if you managed to still have a job, you were not only paid less, but you had less shifts.
never heard 'unaustralian' used commonly, only in news headlines. The true worst Aussie insult in being called a 'dog cunt'. to be clear it's the dog part that's insulting, Australians use the word cunt to describe just about everything.
I let mine roam but mine are free feeders n come home when they are hungry. When I didnt free feed, they would bring back a bird or mouse. Its about making sure they dont need to hunt. A full belly and access to 24/7 full feed bowl n i dont have an issue with dead wildlife. I find humans to be more menacing than cats.
i live in a area designated rural so it's legal to just cull them if they're on my property. they're the number 1 driver of mammal extinction in australia, so it's the unaustralian grubs that let them roam.
@@6226superhurricane Im not unaustralian nor a grub nor am I a country folk... I was raised where wildlife didnt roam aside from the occasional nuked cockroach and pidgeons. Cats keep the mice down in an industrial town where the trees dont grow and water bubbles. Two sides to a coin.
@@CQuinnLady cats do not regulate rodent populations. they do the opposite. they remove native predators that are far more effective at controlling rodents (snakes, carnivorous mammals, birds and lizards) this leads to a population explosion of rodents. the cats are the vector for the toxo parasite that effects the brain of mammals causing male rodents to be attracted to cat urine. essentially giving cats a constant supply of easy meals. toxo also infects humans and livestock causing miscarriage and stillbirth. and yes anyone that lets their cat roam in australia is also a pest.
@@6226superhurricane Yes we all know about toxo, yes all pregnant women are told about toxo, but we are also told to be wary of kids too when pregnant and the diseases they carry that can harm another human. Im constantly getting sick from one of them diseased kids never gotten sick from a cat let alone miscarried. I get that u dont like cats because u gave the typical "i hate cats" speel above. Thats cool, I was prepared for a discussion/ debate but considering u ended ur reply with an insult I feel u've exhausted ur google skills and couldnt offer anything else to the chat but more insults.
Take a peek at the RUclips channel 'Trip in a van' Gorgeous family travelling around Australia towing a slick caravan with a beastly 4wd. They visit some tropo places.
like taxing gambling winnings would be unaussie, gotta do the righty. being called a dog is the worse thing you can be called. we dont speed much anymore cos THOSE dogs keep handing out speeding fines. funny hearing a pom talk about complaining.
We say "sanger", not sandwich. Re: "Un-Australian": This was never a thing, and A former Prime Minister, John Howard, started this nonsense, copying the way Americans say things are "un-American", and it was a political game, and a tag that could be wheeled out at his convenience. That family doesn't know the history of it here, and they don't understand that it really doesn't mean very much, except to people who watch too much television and who are swayed by the media, since the media uses it a lot, for effect. I have never heard any ordinary person use that term in normal conversation. The issue with cats varies, as some local councils make it a law that cats must be kept under control, particularly at night. However, this law does not exist in most places and cats still roam around in many or most places. You seem to think Australia is a hot place, but many placed in the US are much hotter. Phoenix, for example. It snows in many places in Australia in winter and we have a number of ski resorts. Why don't you do a reaction to a video about the snowfields in Australia?
So many Aussie uploads, I can't keep up. :D Mate can be used in a variety of ways. It can be causal, friendly or even frustrated and angry. You will probably hear it less in cities, but out were I live we say mate a lot. You won't really hear bro much but its probably similar. I don't know about everyone sticking to the road rules, since Covid I notice more bad drivers and the dash cam uploads show some real idiots. I have though watched US dash cams and have to say they are worse.
Australian for “complain” is “whinge”. Aussie for a British person is “pommie”. Aussie for a complaining Briton is “whinging Pom”. In the nicest possible way. Aussies are very close to poms, we like humour, cricket and Constitutional Monarchy.
damn, that's what I hate... We have to stick strictly to the speed limit because the Cops are everywhere, plus speed cameras! Despite nice roads (kinda rare) and new safe cars. Sheesh. UK is much better, where you can safely go 5-15kph over the limit without the cops chasing you down like you're a serial killer.
If you are greedy, kick someone who is down, a thief, lazy, a showy wanker, walk past someone who needs help - it's un-Australian.

Remember the bloke that headbutt Tony Abbot?
The thing about the way we say: "Howzitgoon" is that we say it as one word.. Makes it even harder for non Ozzies to understand.
Can I please add that the word aussie can be an insult in some places.

.
"How's it going" seems to be an issue with so many people even for westerners. It's just the same as 'how do you do', 'whats goin on', 'what's up' etc
In South Oz we flash to let people into traffic as well, in the bush we right indicate to let someone pass, Truckies will always do this to let you know it’s safe..
That's how we roll.

Thank you Dar for your absolutely lovely reaction 🥰🥰
At 63 my usual reply to "how you doing,?" Is "Ah have been better, have been worse, can't complain.!
Sandwich = Sanga…❤️ to you Max and Ben….Cheers🦘🇦🇺
If you add an l to Dar you’ll be Darl which is Aussie for darling! Watch the movie The Castle 😊
My missus gets called Old Love.
Cannot stand that movie, too me very cringy!
"How's it going" is the Australian equivalent of "sup"
In Oz you'd be called Dato or even Musky . Your names one of the Musketeers .
nah mate we'd add the T ... dart. but I like musky, thats cool.
D'Artagnan is a cool name. Real person and fictional hero of "The Three Musketeers". Dumas, the author, grandma was was African. Dumas would probably be considered Black in the contemporary US.
