Hi We're Joel & Lia and today's video is all about Australian slang that Brits
-
just don't get! so just to start this off Joel, I've been- as you know I've been
-
working with an Australian well she's actually Kiwi yeah but she then moved to
-
Australia and sometimes I'm hearing these Aussie slang words and I'm
-
thinking what on earth is she saying? I have to actually stop her and be like "wait, what?"
-
so I just wanted to bring them to a video okay I'm gonna put them to
-
you see if you know what they mean yeah and I mean there's one of them that's
-
pretty obvious okay but let's just kick off I'm so
-
excited you know how much I love Australians, you love it
-
Shall I do it all in Aussie? Yeah! Okay, first word: bottlo. Bottlo?? I thought that maybe you would know this. I think it
-
just means bottle doesn't it? or a bottle of beer ... No. Does it not? No! bottlo. A bottle opener!
-
I was like what's a bottlo it's a drive-through for wine and beer. Really?! for alcoholic drinks
-
mental! A drive-thru and a shop or just a drive-through so basically I
-
found out wine isn't sold in supermarkets in Australia, so
-
interesting so they've got just like you know like wine merchant wine shops
-
booze Express that we have over in the UK they call those sort of - and they
-
all have drive-thrus like McDonalds that's so cool. And it's a bottlo.
-
I thought you might have known it because don't you watch Australian soap
-
drama? I used to watch Neighbours but they would never refer to alcohol. I don't think, I never heard it anyway! Bottlo, oh great!
-
that's that's so good, imagine if we had a drive-thru for booze like
-
Brits would go mental, oh literally, but maybe that encourages drink driving I was just
-
thinking that no wonder we don't have it here. And also like, if I was
-
If I was an owner of a supermarket in Australia surely you'd be
-
like no we are gonna sell booze here. must be a law against it. Must be, let us know!
-
Let us know in the comments guys we'd love to know about bottlo bottlo. right the
-
second one is so hard I genuinely have no idea what this means, well up until like
-
yesterday fair dinkum fair dinkum! How funny is that! is that like fair enough? Like "oh that's fair
-
dinkum" I've written down it means you serious?! I think my inflection was wrong.
-
Fair dinkum = you serious? That's so funny! How good is that? I love that! Fair dinkum! I was saying to the woman I work with you need a thousand
-
subscribers to be a partner with YouTube, she was like "fair dinkum!" Aw that's sooo good!
-
Aw this is why I love Australians also isn't it true that Australians seem to be the only English
-
speakers in the world that abbreviate everything and lots of
-
the abbreviations end in O like bottlo and I won't mention any others coz they might be on the list!
-
but yeah they tend to abbreviate all the time the abbreviations are amazing and that's
-
actually probably gonna be a whole other video yeah I saw an amazing one on
-
Facebook I wanna share that with with you guys if you haven't seen it,
-
you probably have it went viral but it's all about Aussie abbreviations they were
-
fantastic, so good! The next one far out far out
-
far out I swear I think I might have heard that on Neighbours, what do you think? Is that just like "no way" yeah, it's no way!
-
Kelly who I will link in the description and in the cards was doing
-
exercise and it was getting so difficult and she also said like "far out" which is
-
exhausted it's used quite a lot but the main use is "no way". But it's always just like
-
"far out!" That's so good! Joel, we've got 7 videos to film today ... far out! fair dinkum! How good is that!?
-
I just wanna reiterate that we absolutely love like we're laughing but this is
-
from a place of love like we absolutely love ... oh yeah I wouldn't want you guys to
-
think that we're laughing at Australians being like you're stupid no laughing coz we're
-
like we love you guys!
-
we love sounds and words and the way that things are said so this is just really
-
interesting for us. You ready for the next one? The next one is quite easy okay Sheila
-
Sheila just meaning all women yeah. So if you're like "that Sheila", isn't the same male version is Bruce? Oh it must be! "Oh that Bruce over there..."
-
People do that in improv all the time when they can't think of what to name a character
-
Bruce or Sheila comes out. that's really good let us know in the comments if you're an
-
Australian and if you still use Sheila to refer to a woman who you don't know the
-
name of and Bruce for a man, I'd love to know! Right last one,
-
Arvo. I know this one this is like one of the ones I do know, just meaning
-
"afternoon" "this arvo" "tomorrow arvo" I don't know if they'd say
-
tomorrow arvo I don't know if it has to be today "oh you coming over this arvo?"
-
yeah that's good "you coming over this arvo?" I love it that's what I mean bottlo, arvo,
-
like lots of the slang tends to be abbreviated with an O on the end it's
-
really interesting that's so funny what would my name be "Lio"
-
Imagine if I was called Leo and you were called Lia, "Leo and Lia"
-
brilliant! Shall we change the name? Rebrand! Leo & Lia!
-
what a tongue twister - What would yours be? "Joelo" That's good! I asked Kelly
-
my Australian friend I said what would my name be abbreviated to because
-
Australians love to shorten everything, she was like L
-
Would Kelly be Kello? No! Like Jello, hey Kello!
-
no I call her Kels and she said that's really Australian she was like none of my English
-
friends do it and I miss hearing it. But she was like you call me Kels and it reminds me of Australia
-
