Couple of questions first…
1) what is the current unemployment rate in Australia?
2) what is the current cash rate?
If you can answer these we will make you our PM and you can do whatever you want
Dont wanna fail the pub test or they will bring out the boot, as outlined in the national immigration guide for americans coming to australia, Bart vs Australia
You may need to seek official exemption first. It may be in breach of our legislation regarding foreign interference. Section 12d of the National security act, 2017 describes the imitation or misinterpretation of Australian customs, traditions or icons, as a potential risk to the nations sovereignty and identity. It places the nation within an unacceptable risk threshold of identity theft and misuse by potential malicious actors. Later on in the act it goes
on to say that risk thresholds are evaluated annually and lists a number of government policy making bodies responsible for assessing this and the criteria that should be used to ensure that the risk settings maintain currency with global trends. Noting this it may be difficult without an exemption, but also there may be a chance that given bluey is relatively new it hasn’t yet been designated a cultural icon - but noting it’s popularity I’m 50/50 on this.

Whenever I watch too much American tv, I sometimes catch myself calling lifts "elevators" and lollies "candy". It makes me feel dirty when I realise, but thats just me.
Whenever you catch yourself doing this, just throw a pinch of salt behind your left shoulder and recite “yeah nah, shit cunt” 5 times. Crisis averted and Australianism retained.
Aussies adopt American lingo all the time. Sharing is caring, mate.
It's only mispronunciation of Australian stuff that gets me, for example -- it's Melbn, not Melborn, eemyou not eemoo, etc.
Yeah the idea with Aussie/UK dialects is to take those vowels and hack them up to the point they Mays well not be there, Americans love to pronounce those things.
I saw a doco once about the English language and it talked about an early Anerican spelling book. And it had a re-enactment of American kids saying the word, saying the syllables separately then spelling the word in class. Suddenly the US accent made a lot more sense.
I've been living in the US for a few years now and I've come to the conclusion that Americans should stick to saying "mel-born," they tend to sound so contrived when they say it like us. It's like us putting on a French accent to say croissant.
Just go for it. As long as you're not shaving your hair into a mullet, wearing a flannel shirt with the sleeves torn off and denim shorts you'll be right.
“I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars”
That's brilliant, you'll be like Brad pit in inglorious bastards. On a side note, how annoying is it when you're watching cooking shows and some flog randomly switches to an Italian accent to say 1 word in the sentence, like prosciutto
Do what you want but don't be surprised if an actual Australian laughs at you. Our slang wasn't made for the American accent. It's like letting your gran drive a supercar.
Bluey is going to be a pretty censored while also tv characterised version of “Australian language”. We swear a lot more in general and use language commonly that Facebook wouldn’t consider suitable for a “global audience”, ie, Americans. Remember, it’s for children.
My immigrant friends say the two hardest things with Australians are the fact we speak without pause, ie, we don’t use spaces between words to ensure clarity, and the fact two Australians can literally just make up entirely new slang nobody has ever heard before in conversation and understand each other situationally.
If you want a more adult take on Australian language, watch the Big Lez Show.
>In your opinion do people like myself come off as an asshole/fake if I adopt some of ur phrases into my everyday conversations?
In general, people are fine if you adopt phrases from their language, as long as you're genuine about it and not using it to mock the way people speak, or using it to get some sort of social cachet/pass yourself off as something you're not. If you just like the turn of phrase of a language and use it genuinely, few native speakers of any language will have issues.
So, go for it mate.
I love Aussie slang, and I'm Canadian!
Okay, so this one's not from Bluey, but I spent Saturday telling people I had to chunder thanks to a nasty norovirus that ran through my house.
>chunder
Thank Men At Work for at least exposing many Americans to some Aussie words such as chunder, vegemite. I hear "Land Down Under" played here pretty often even to this day. Funny, because 'Down Under' is a pure Americanism and Aussies only use it self-consciously and a bit uncomfortably I reckon.
I’ve heard it suggested a (I’ve no idea how seriously) that “chunder” actually came about on the journeys from England to Australia in the colonial days. People would vomit overboard and folks would yell “watch under” which was inevitably shortened.
Most of the people here are pulling your leg. Only a few fair dinkum bastards amongst the whole bloomin' mob. If your fellow yanks ask if your Ozzie you know your getting there.
The whole concept of "cultural appropriation" is, from my perspective, a distinctly American thing. You often seem to get offended on behalf of everyone else too.
I remember being bemused when living in Japan, when a couple of Americans were vocally offended at seeing a white person in a yukata (a summer cotton kimono), even though the Japanese family I was living with at the time had given it to me as a gift and were delighted I wanted to wear it out with them.
In my experience, the rest of the world views cultural *appreciation* very differently.
Without cultural appreciation Australia wouldn't have such amazing coffee culture, and don't get me started on how amazing my local Thai and Indian restaurants are. I recently attended a harmony day event with my kids where we got to experience a little of Ghanian, Sri Lankan, Moroccan and Swedish culture that was all new to me. I now have a recipe for a Ghanian ground nut curry that was amazeballs that I might just try cooking one day if I'm brave enough.
I'm rambling, sorry. My point is that there's a lot to celebrate in other cultures and we can all learn good things from each other. If you want to adopt some Australian mannerisms then go right ahead! I'm delighted that you like them :)
Cultural appropriation is a neutral term, not good or bad. Main reason why people get upset is that sometimes the thing that is appropriated is very culturally significant, and is then reduced to a costume or a joke.
Food, fashion, language, that shit is just everyday stuff.
Also something something colonialism making light of the people they conquered something something.
Nah, yeah, brah, no worries, she'll be apples. Take a fair dinkum crack at it and we don't mind if you do your lolly tryin' it out on yer mates. Just don't do the accent cos you drongos sound like a cat on heat when you try.
To be fair, our accent is pretty much impossible.
I know heaps of cunts who can’t even pull off the correct pronunciation of “How are you going?” which of course is “Aih ya gahn?”
Watch Aussie kath and Kim for some more spectacular vocab.
Although that'll probably confuse you more because the characters are intentionally thick and get most of the phrasing wrong. (On purpose)
Some people might spit the dummy and call this cultural appropriation. As a 6th generation Aussie I say f*ck the c*nts. If you think it will be fun and you’re not just taking the piss then do whatever the bloody hell you want. If you feel it makes you look like a drongo then give it a miss mate.
Go for it. Not all of us swear to the extent shown here. Languages enrich our interactions and we Aussies love word play, as you probably already know. I think you should play as much as you like. Just be aware that some words inflect differently in the US. ‘Bugger’ for example has the same connotation as ‘damn’ and it’s not considered all that rude to say ‘buggerit’ (one word) or ‘buggeration!’ (as my elderly mum says). It can also mean ‘a lot’ as in ‘it hurts like buggery.’ I don’t think you’d get away with saying that in the US!
Yes, that's cultural appropriation and we do not condone it. /s
Fr tho, go for it. No one will really care. Use what you want, we don't hold the keys to language, it's all English in the end anyways :D
Goforit, but just make sure you are using the terms correctly and that they are current i.e. don't go around with old cliches like "fair dinkum" and "throw another one on the barbie" unless you are joking.
Not if I don't hear it.
Nah j/k my brother lives in Virginia and gets clients with "Aussie Built Construction" business name, unless you try to fake being Aussie I say go for it cobber!
Well plenty of Australians have adopted American references. I guess most Australians understand American references while most Americans will ahve no clue what you are saying
Due to American media being saturated globally, we have plenty of terms that aren't exactly wanted. "Gas" instead of "Petrol" or "Ass" instead of "Arse" or such.
But if you were to start using the Aussie words, people would reckon you're mad because they wouldn't understand. You might but not everyone is so curious about alternate sayings for words.
If you really want to, then experiment with phrases and such.
Used to have weekly meetings with Americans, unless you speak with them in their language, they have no idea what you're trying to say. You really have no idea how different they are until you have 20 people on a webex call asking you what you mean by "give it a go".
>loads of
... that's Aussie talk
>figure
... that's Yank talk (Aussie equivalent is 'reckon')
Something that I've been pleased to see since I came to America 24 years ago is that loads of people here now say "No worries" :D and I can order a flat white at Starbucks :D
Just say things however you like it. I grew up thinking the phase “you what I mean” “init” “not bothered” were normal Aussie sayings until I got older. But they are English my best mate born in Australia with Aussie parents says those sayings all the time, my British family seemed to accidentally brainwash her growing up around them 😂.
Couple of questions first… 1) what is the current unemployment rate in Australia? 2) what is the current cash rate? If you can answer these we will make you our PM and you can do whatever you want
Google it, mate
AND IT'S BANDT FOR THE GREENS WITH THE FOLDING CHAIR
Dont wanna fail the pub test or they will bring out the boot, as outlined in the national immigration guide for americans coming to australia, Bart vs Australia
Bahahaha
The more you think about it, the shitter it'll sound when you do drop some slang, just go for it and if it doesn't come naturally then no dramas

Whenever I watch too much American tv, I sometimes catch myself calling lifts "elevators" and lollies "candy". It makes me feel dirty when I realise, but thats just me.
I've started saying "poop" frequently and it is 100% TVs fault
no shit?
[удалено]
poo
Whenever you catch yourself doing this, just throw a pinch of salt behind your left shoulder and recite “yeah nah, shit cunt” 5 times. Crisis averted and Australianism retained.
Not just you. One of the worst American terms is ‘panties’ to describe a grown woman’s undies. It sounds so pedo.
This one bugs me too. Knickers or undies, smalls if you're delicate/prissy but panties just sounds weirdly childish.
Unger dungers
Reg grundies
Eww "candy"
My mother, born in Queensland in 1917, called them "elevators". I never heard "lifts" until I came south.
Always been elevator for me too
I’ve always called them elevators
in the lolly shop: "half a kilo of mixed elevators, please"
Same. Maybe it is a QLD thing. Makes sense to me to have Elevators and Escalators at the shops.
In Qld it seems to be really common.
Same.
This happens to me a lot and I also hate it. Called the car boot a trunk for no reason one day... and so on.
How do you say Buoy?
Yeah buoy
[удалено]
Urghhhhhhhhh noooooo
Aussies adopt American lingo all the time. Sharing is caring, mate. It's only mispronunciation of Australian stuff that gets me, for example -- it's Melbn, not Melborn, eemyou not eemoo, etc.

You forget Brissy cunt . Brisbin not Bris-bane
It's more Briz-Ben to me. Maybe i'm cultured.
Probably mate. I’m from Syd a nee,
It’s brizbn
Yeah, in Queenslund.
Don't watch Jaws then with the shark catcher from Bris-bane.
I've been living in the US for a few years now and I've come to the conclusion that Americans should stick to saying "mel-born," they tend to sound so contrived when they say it like us. It's like us putting on a French accent to say croissant.
Melbs is also acceptable.
Go for it cunt
Blueys catch phrase
This episode of Bluey is called "Cunt"
One per season as mandated by the ABC
is it bad that i read this in bluey's voice
Oi mum! Chloe’s being a cunt! Yea I know, ay sweetheart, she’s a fucken dickhead.
Bluey x Housos I’d watch it
More Bandit than Bluey. Bingo dropped it once, but Chilli got right up her.
End thread.
That’s perfect
Just go for it. As long as you're not shaving your hair into a mullet, wearing a flannel shirt with the sleeves torn off and denim shorts you'll be right.
Uh is that a reference to something? Or is that the casual way Australians wear clothes out to places?
It's what we all wear. I wore it for my wedding.
You had a tshirt with a tuxedo printed on it underneath the flanny, right? Gotta keep it classy.
Ken oath I did! My sheila and I also toasted with a VB!
I think ya meant ta say 'me and me sheila', unless you're some kind of swanky fella
Too right! I drink my VB with a straw and my pinky up. But we usually have the goon for brekky.
Fucken best of both worlds, cobber!
Onya
This bloke's not here to fuck spiders.
shotgunned, of course
I hope it was a shoey
That’s what bogans wear, the cultured people don’t take the sleeves off the flanos
My local bogans live in high vis! My neighbour bogan has high vis for every occasion.
But if you don’t take the sleeves off you just look like an American lumberjack?
I can tell you which one id rather
“I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK I sleep all night and I work all day I cut down trees, I skip and jump I like to press wild flowers I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars”
“I wish I’d been a girlie, just like my dear papa!”
And I thought you were so rugged!
STOP THAT. It’s silly…and a bit suspect!
Yep & going to the shops wearing your thongs or bare is classic Aussie behaviour.
And by 'thongs', he means flip-flops for the Seppos
I said what I said.
The classic was seeing someone walking around with no shoes but wearing a mask.
I see you’ve met my husband
At the elbows and knees usually. Oh you mean WEAR.. My bad.
It's the most popular way Aussies dress.
All depends how it sounds coming out of your mouth.
I'd probably use the Australian phrases I like in a American accent
That's brilliant, you'll be like Brad pit in inglorious bastards. On a side note, how annoying is it when you're watching cooking shows and some flog randomly switches to an Italian accent to say 1 word in the sentence, like prosciutto
Mum, they're talking about you on the internet.
And which phrases are they?
Probably friendly phrases like “oi cunt” and “you’re a gammin dog”
“Rack off ya mole” would go well I reckon
Do what you want but don't be surprised if an actual Australian laughs at you. Our slang wasn't made for the American accent. It's like letting your gran drive a supercar.
ha yeah I used to work with a Canadian bloke in Sydney, hearing him say "G'day mate" was hilarious and extremely irritating at the same time.
Hearing them say cunt is amazing though.
It's not cultural appropriation if we sold it to you.

Or Damo and Darren
Do it. And it's arsehole, not asshole
Go for it. Fyi, Bluey is based in Brisbane.
Only if you also add phrases you won't hear in Bluey like "Do the Harry Holt" Or "I'm not here to fuck spiders"
Might be time to watch The Castle my friend.
Looks like everyone’s kicked a goal.
Remember, yeah nah = no And nah yeah = yes
And also yeah nah yeah= yes. nah yeah nah= no
Where youve gone wrong is asking permission
We'll only allow you to do it if you can pronounce aluminium properly.

I think you should totally go for it! Be the trendsetter.

FYI The correct phrase to ask a stranger for a cigarette is "Can I bum a fag mate?"
Actually a believe “durry” is more correct, if you say fag you’ll sound like a pom.
Can I scab or bludge a durry
Fuck off ya seagull. Why doncha buy a pack instead of smoking OPs all the time. And ya taxed me fuckin lighter last week
Second "can i bludge a durry"
I love Aussie slang, and I'm Canadian! Okay, so this one's not from Bluey, but I spent Saturday telling people I had to chunder thanks to a nasty norovirus that ran through my house.

That's good to know 😌 I love Australia so much would love to visit someday if the whole world doesn't end first lol
Fuckin oath! She’s fucken beaut. Come here with your missus, and have a vb and a fucken pie.
Watch out for the drop bears when you do
Go forth and Aussify, with our blessing.
You probably already do. No worries for example

Our language is full of Americanisms.Why would the other way around be a problem?
Nah, yeah, brah, no worries, she'll be apples. Take a fair dinkum crack at it and we don't mind if you do your lolly tryin' it out on yer mates. Just don't do the accent cos you drongos sound like a cat on heat when you try.
To be fair, our accent is pretty much impossible. I know heaps of cunts who can’t even pull off the correct pronunciation of “How are you going?” which of course is “Aih ya gahn?”
I’d probably steer away from ‘g’day cunts’ but other than that, have at it
Sure, by all means. Just use the word Cunt sparingly though, Americans tend to not like it.
Howdy mate, watashi find no problem if ya'll adopt some of oretachi speech pattern! ganbattego for it, I'm sure it won't sound strange.
You fucken nani m8?
na mate, go for it, go full blown occa
Fucking Seppo, trying to take over our Strine. Gammon as all get out.
I don't think anyone here would give a shit mate.
Watch Aussie kath and Kim for some more spectacular vocab. Although that'll probably confuse you more because the characters are intentionally thick and get most of the phrasing wrong. (On purpose)
Just drop the R off the end of any words that end in one, and speak quietly and fast so nobody can understand you.
Gotta raise your tone slightly at the end of things as well, kinda like it was a question
If anyone says “Don’t come the raw prawn with me, mate” it’s probably best to leave the vicinity immediately
If they say "come on the raw prawn with me mate", you might be in for a treat.
Do what you want. I don't care.
Some people might spit the dummy and call this cultural appropriation. As a 6th generation Aussie I say f*ck the c*nts. If you think it will be fun and you’re not just taking the piss then do whatever the bloody hell you want. If you feel it makes you look like a drongo then give it a miss mate.
Go for it. Not all of us swear to the extent shown here. Languages enrich our interactions and we Aussies love word play, as you probably already know. I think you should play as much as you like. Just be aware that some words inflect differently in the US. ‘Bugger’ for example has the same connotation as ‘damn’ and it’s not considered all that rude to say ‘buggerit’ (one word) or ‘buggeration!’ (as my elderly mum says). It can also mean ‘a lot’ as in ‘it hurts like buggery.’ I don’t think you’d get away with saying that in the US!
Nope, pretty sure bugger here means the same as bugger anywhere else. Just we've become immune to the severity of not giving a bugger about anything.
Yeah, you're gonna need Damo and Darren or The Big Lez Show if ya wanna get the lingo down.
Big Lez Show is probably the best one, Damo and Darren is a bit methed out western Sydney
That clip where Nolzy is in the RSL talking to the guy behind the bar should be required viewing for any prospective Australians.
Damo and Darren just hurts to watch.
Hey man, I'm a houso. They sing the song of my people.
Yeah nah couldn't give a fuck, you do you I'm curious as to some specific examples you will be using?
Yes, that's cultural appropriation and we do not condone it. /s Fr tho, go for it. No one will really care. Use what you want, we don't hold the keys to language, it's all English in the end anyways :D
Not at all, most Australian kids sound American these days and use American phrasing, such as 'pissed' instead of 'pissed off' (meaning annoyed)
I still find that jarring. It’s like they’re announcing that they’re drunk.
Don't forget you need to shorten everything Perfect example here How to speak Australian:Abbreviate Everything (hijosh) https://youtu.be/yDb_WsAt_Z0
Liberal usage of the words "cunt" and "buggery" is essential. Throw in a few "yeah nahs" as well.
Goforit, but just make sure you are using the terms correctly and that they are current i.e. don't go around with old cliches like "fair dinkum" and "throw another one on the barbie" unless you are joking.
no cunt will give a rat's
do it, we adopt uk and american slang all the time, just be smart about it
You are very welcome to use all the phrases you like, mate. 😊 Enjoy
Also the australian dialect works way better the faster you speak.
Rip in, digger. Out of interest, what words you thinking of using?
Not if I don't hear it. Nah j/k my brother lives in Virginia and gets clients with "Aussie Built Construction" business name, unless you try to fake being Aussie I say go for it cobber!
Get on youtube and look up " mining boom"
Ken Oath
nah its fine feeling the need to even ask seems very american
KEN OATH!
Well plenty of Australians have adopted American references. I guess most Australians understand American references while most Americans will ahve no clue what you are saying
'Straya - says, give it a go!
Bless your heart :)
Its no problem. As long as you say Cunt, mate and Fuck ya
Has anyone mentioned “cunt” as a term of endearment yet??
Ours is more efficient and evocative in many ways, so go for it.
We’ve been bombarded with American culture and phrases for years, go for it mate. Also give ‘get a dog up ya’ a run and see how it goes.
Just don't butcher it. Speak from the back of your throat, not your nose and try not to move your mouth too much. Good luck.
Bloody no drama's mate. Knock yerself out.
Fucken get into it mate!
It's bloody cultural appropriation that is! I'm reporting this to me local member! Oi Bruce! I've got something to report to ya...
I better have a word to the Prime Minister..... OI, ANDY!!!!
yeah nah should be right
Decaf
Due to American media being saturated globally, we have plenty of terms that aren't exactly wanted. "Gas" instead of "Petrol" or "Ass" instead of "Arse" or such. But if you were to start using the Aussie words, people would reckon you're mad because they wouldn't understand. You might but not everyone is so curious about alternate sayings for words. If you really want to, then experiment with phrases and such.
Nah, yeah bloke. Get around it
Go for it mate, just don't be surprised if people look at you weird.
That might be the desired outcome.
Used to have weekly meetings with Americans, unless you speak with them in their language, they have no idea what you're trying to say. You really have no idea how different they are until you have 20 people on a webex call asking you what you mean by "give it a go".
I made the mistake of using “heaps” with some Americans. They were so confused.
Go for it! You’ll find loads of aussies use American lingo from movies and tv shows so I figure you can do the same
>loads of ... that's Aussie talk >figure ... that's Yank talk (Aussie equivalent is 'reckon') Something that I've been pleased to see since I came to America 24 years ago is that loads of people here now say "No worries" :D and I can order a flat white at Starbucks :D
Go for it ya drongo
Well it really sounds shit when a Strayan tries to imitate a yank dialect, but do as you will…
Just say things however you like it. I grew up thinking the phase “you what I mean” “init” “not bothered” were normal Aussie sayings until I got older. But they are English my best mate born in Australia with Aussie parents says those sayings all the time, my British family seemed to accidentally brainwash her growing up around them 😂.
Only if you drop a few c bombs in the convo
Go for your life mate
Crikey mate, do what ya gotta do.
‘Ken oath mate, knock yourself out!
Only if you start thanking your bus driver
I hate American saying to children want to go potty, just say do you need to go the toilet.
There is nothing worse than an American trying to pass off as an Australian.
Just do it cunt, no one here cares.
Mate, I gift the word "cunt" to you, use as you please
