- Hi, I'm Tom I'm from the UK.
And today we're going to be deciphering Aussie sentences.
- I know that Aussies have a tendency to like shorten
everything, but I don't know if that's like official slang.
- I have a friend who lives in Perth and she's
always talking about things happening in the ortho.
And well, I guess that's probably the only example
I can think of (laughing)
- I feel like something we often say here
is like throwing up a shrimp on the Barbie Shaylan.
- My knowledge of Australia is like very small.
So this should be interesting.
- Mate, I was havin' a duzza outside Woolies
and forgot me sanga in the ute and it's gone festy.
That shit was dry as a dead dingo's donger.
- Okay; we've got some alliteration there.
- That's the kind of thing I feel like an ostrich,
a dead dingo's donger.
Somebody wouldn't say that.
- Woolies?
- Oh, do you know what; I know Woolies.
Because it's Woolworths; right?
What would you do outside of shop.
- I would sleep outside.
- Your eyes is either peeing or smoking.
I mean, you shouldn't pee outside a shop, but it's my--
- Does that might be cigarette?
Cause I know people here call them Durris.
Oh, okay; now it's getting a bit more cryptic.
- I forgot me sanga in the Utes
- And it's gone festy.
- I don't know what was going on.
- What; that's what?
- My sanga.
- I wanna know what sanga is
- What is it that he could have forgotten?
- Sanga is,(laughs) I don't know.
- I mean, what you used, its dumb
I don't know, he left his makeup sponge in a ukulele.
- I don't know, I don't know.
Please put me out on my misery
because I don't know what's going on.
What is the sanga?
- Friend, I was smoking a cigarette outfront of Woolworth's,
Okay, starting strong; an Australian supermarket chain,
and I left my sandwich in the car and it went bad
that sandwich was as dry as a dead dingo's dick.
- Okay. So, well what did we call sandwich sanga.
Oh my God.
That's wild because sandwiches only two syllables anyway,
it's like it doesn't need shortening, but I guess we can.
So why not?
Hooroo, I was at Bruce's gatho out bush the other night.
- Place was chockers with bogans.
- Got so maggot from doin' a shoey
that I had to pull a tactical chunder.
- So hooroo, I actually have no idea what that means.
Hooroo like, listen up, I'm going to go with that.
- Bruce had a gatho, I assume that's gathering.
So like party out bush.
- That mean like in, like out in the sticks,
like out in the countrysides.
Place was chockers that means full,
we have that chock-a-block.
- With bogans; there are people who like a good tire,
they like a party.
- Got so maggot; maggot means really drunk, I know that.
- Doin' a shoey, is that when you drink,
you put the drink in the wine; the wine in the shoe,
and then you drink from the shoe.
Do people actually do that?
Do people actually drink from a shoe?
But then you've got to put your shoe on after,
and then you've got like a wet suit (laughs)
- Dissolves foot in that I don't know about that.
Oh, that's Ming in, why would you do that?
I thought it was just like, it looked funny,
but I thought none of them of the drink
actually touched the shoe.
You told me you literally use your, your shoe
like as the drinking receptacle.
- I guess this person did.
And then they had to have a tactical sick.
- I've also heard this referred to in Australia
as attack yak, which I thought was fabulous.
- He had to pull the tactical chunder
and we've all been there, we've all done that.
- Greetings, I visited the soiree of my esteemed friend,
Bruce, the other evening, situated in a rural area.
Ah, okay, amazing knew it, good.
The party was filled to the brim with undesirables; Oh.
And I became so intoxicated by drink from a shoe that I had
to conduct a discreet vomit.
- I (laughs)
- I got a good, a good three quarters of that right.
So I keep doing the accent, is that really like,
is that really cringe; all right, fuck it out.
Oi you want some goss?
We were at tuckshop at lunch and ran into Stacey.
She's such a mole, so I told her to rack off
and she threw my volleys in the dunny.
Okay, wow, what is this?
The talent jumped out a bit there, my God.
- I know the first, all you want some goss.
Do you want some gossip?
- Tuckshop is like in Britain,
it's like a thing that when you're a kid,
you get your sweets from school,
but I don't think that's what this is.
It must just be like a restaurant.
- So we were at the sweet shop at lunch and run into Stacey.
She's such a mole.
- I'm guessing from the sentence, we don't like Stacey.
I'm thinking of mole as a bad thing.
- Okay, I don't know what mole means.
- Maybe like Australian version of a snake, like, you know,
- she's a spy.
- It could be like,
maybe just like a snitch or something like that.
- And rack off,
I guess it's like a family friendly version
of saying fuckoff.
- She threw my Volleys in the dunny.
- Oh, the dunny is the toilet.
And volleys,
haven't got a clue.
What would you put in the toilet?
- volleyball?
- Like for some reason I'm thinking underwear.
- Shoes; I think you would throw shoes in the toilet.
- What a bitch.
- This has been written(laughs)
Would you like some salacious gossip?
I bumped into my nemesis, Stacey, at the lunch vendor.
I do find her to be disagreeable.
After requesting she leaves,
she consequently dispossessed me of my running shoes,
which she hastily threw into the toilet(laughs)
- Ooh, I'm good.
How should I know?
- Got it all right.
Other than I thought volleys were underwear
and they're in fact shoes.
But I'm going to say I was like a solid 75% there,
so I'm happy with that.
- Was having a yarn to Stevo about that Sheila he was with
and I asked him flat-out,
"didja root her or did you just Pash?"
But he was like,
"yeah, nah, got so pissed
that I just passed out with my daks down."
oh, Stevo.
- Okay, these are getting progressively more difficult
because I see words that I don't know yet.
- Having a yarn to Stevo as having a moan to Stevo.
- I don't know what yarn is, but I, I guess it's a chat,
like a bit of a goss, you know,
chatting with your friend Stevo.
This man his government name is Steve, but you know,
you gotta make it fun so that's Stevo
and he asked him flat-out, did you root her?
Did you bang or just pash?
We know Pash, I've seen neighbors, I've heard,
I find that little bit--
- It was like, yeah, no, I got so drunk that I, so
sadly he did neither of those things.
He actually got so drunk that he just,
he just blacked out with his trousers down.
I presume Dax his pants.
- I was talking with Stephen about the woman he was with.
And I inquired; "Did you sleep with her or simply snug?"
But he responded that he was too inebriated to perform
and fell asleep with his pants down.
It sounds different when you put it like that,Isn't it?
Okay, lots of words, which sad I'm not sure
how you pronounce, but give it a go.
Fucksakes!
Youse are outta goon, mate, chuck a u-ey
and I'll duck in to the bottle-o and grab some more grog.
- What the fuck does that mean?
- Use you guys, you guys are out of goon,
judging by the previous sentences.
I'm going to go with goodness alcohol.
- Mate, so is your friend Chuck a u-ey--
- And I'll duck into the bottle-o,
is the bottle-o like the off license, like the, the place,
the vendor of alcohol.
- Bottle-o, bottle-o, okay.
- What's that?
Like Castello where you keep buying...
- Not sure what chuck a u-ey is.
- Chuck, a u-ey that sounds like it's like,
Chuck me another drink.
- Maybe that's like, go, go for a little drive,
take a U turn When you go on the drive
and grab some more grog.
Grog is obviously another word for Alcohol.
There's so many different words for alcohol.
- This one makes no sense to me.
- But yeah, if I run out of alcohol, you need to go for,
for a little drive.
Shouldn't drink and drive,
but you need to pick up some more drinks for the gatho.
- Heavens to God you're out of inexpensive boxed wine.
- Do a U-turn and I'll go into the bottle shop
and purchase some more alcohol.
- That is filthy, (laughs)
but I love it.
- Oh, I got it exactly or not exactly right, but I was good.
So there's a specific word for boxed wine.
Yeah, I'm familiar with boxed wine,
but we just call it boxed wine.
I guess we're having less fun with the goon
than our Australian friends.
- S'doin (laughs)
- S'doin s'arvo?
- S'doin, I find it hard to say that.
- S'doin s'arvo?
- Okay, I'm going to be honest.
That first sentence that looks like it's French.
Like I've never seen an S an apostrophe with a D
like that is just come on, guys, like confusing.
- Whadya reckon We do a Maccas run
then kick on at mine and get on the piss.
What are you doing this afternoon?
Would you recommend do a Maccas run.
So let's go McDonald's, then kick on.
I don't know what kick on means.
- Kick on at mine; hang out at mine.
- I get you can kick on like continue on our journey
to my right.
Yeah, so what are you doing this afternoon?
Why don't we go to McDonald's and then go to mine.
- And get drunk, classic.
- (laughing) I love getting the best.
That's so funny.
I think the Australian slang language is fucking crazy.
- There were some words that were just like,
why, how?
- It's very playful, and I like that.
- It reflects the kind of like upbeat, relaxed,
bouncy culture that you have.
And I think that's really cool.
And I think that's really neat.
(upbeat music)
