- Wha' goin' on my yute.
- Wait, sorry, what was that?
Was that, was that English?
(upbeat music)
- Hey, I'm Tom from Australia.
- Hi, I'm Raashi, and I'm from Australia.
- Hello, I'm James, and I'm an actual Australian.
- Hi, I'm Godfrey, and I'm from the UK.
- I'm Mariah, and I'm from the UK.
- Hey, I'm Sepi, and I'm from the UK.
- So today we are playing Slang Wars,
which is gonna be Australia versus the UK.
- To be honest, I don't even know much Australian slang,
so this will be an educational video for me today.
- Are you ready to learn some slang?
- I'm gonna try.
I'm gonna try.
- [Tom] Okay, so first word, here we go.
- Devo. - Devo.
- Devo? Is that right?
- Oh, not bad pronunciation, to be fair.
- No, I was gonna say deevo, but-
- Yeah, I was worried about that.
- You just add an O to everything, correct?
- Devo?
Like you're the devol?
- I think I know this one,
'cause it kind of means, like, I guess devastated?
- Development?
It's devo-ing?
- I'm properly devo-ed. - Oh, devastated!
- Yes!
(James clapping)
- [Godfrey] So the first word is a easy one.
- Peng. - Peng.
- Peng?
What, like penguins? - Penguins?
- No, no.
- Like, cool, right?
- Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng.
Uh.
- Like, I know, like, peng ting.
- So if you called someone a peng ting,
what are you callin' them?
- I don't know.
Like, it's not hot.
I don't know.
Is it? Is it hot?
- Look, I've lived in the UK for almost 20 years, and I've,
and I've never heard anyone say peng.
Can I have a clue please?
- So if you see someone, like, walk by,
oh they're like, they're well peng.
- Like hot?
- Yeah, yeah.
- Oh, so like fit?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Very hot?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - Maybe.
- She's, like, fit.
Fit is, fit is British slang.
I should have used that. - Oh, yeah true.
- Why wouldn't you just say fit?
- 'Cause you just say peng.
- Yeah, okay. - Yeah.
- We'll give her that, we'll give her that.
- Yeah, come on.
- You recovered, you recovered.
- I mean you would you would chirp a peng ting.
(group laughing)
Look at me you guys.
- [James] Okay, this is one of my favorites.
- Fair dinkum?
- Yeah, good, good.
- Fair, like, yeah, fair do, like, yeah.
- Fair do. - Fair.
- Fair enough?
Fair do?
- Where does the word dinkum come in?
Like, what?
- Can you gimme a bit of a hint?
- Like, you would say, "oh, yeah, Billy,
he's a fair dinkum, great Aussie bloke."
- Like, that's what I'm gettin' it,
like, all right, like, what I'm gonna do is this,
and you're like, fair dinkum.
- [Raashi] I mean, not bad.
- Yeah, this one's tough.
I can't get this one, not gonna lie.
- So, it's like truly, or totally, or-
- But why would you say that,
when it's two words,
you can just say totally.
- Totally, but you can say fair dinkum.
- [Sepi] Okay, so the next one.
- I'm worried.
- Go on.
- Really?
- Say it loud and proud.
- Uh, I'm not sure if I wanna say that.
- No, you have to.
- Moist. - Correct.
- What do you think it means?
- Um, damp?
- Soft, and like, um,
for lack of a better word, lubricated.
- I mean, usually, it's kind of when you think
of moist things, it's like an uncomfortable, weird word.
- Mhm. - So, I'd say it's, like,
a negative connotation.
- Yeah, okay. - To something.
- That's not something I would say to my mum.
(Mariah laughing)
- I'll give you a clue.
You're describing a person.
- Oh my God, are they slimy?
- I don't even want to guess.
- I'm thinkin' maybe it's something that is quite bad,
or ugly?
- Kind of like a bit of, like, a pushover?
- They don't have a backbone.
- Is it like something to do with,
like, the weather's not very nice today?
- I would say it's more of like an adjective
for describing a person.
- I'll give you the point.
- But it's kind of used as an insult, I would assume?
- It is an insult.
- Yeah.
- You could be like, oh, I can't be bothered,
like, he's moist.
Like, he's just proper moist.
(man laughing)
- [Raashi] What?
- [Tom] Can you read that?
- Oh, shamozzle.
- Shamozzle? - Shamozzle?
- I wanna say, it's a shambles.
- This is a (beep) show.
It's a shamozzle.
- It kinda feels like something that someone's gonna say
to enter the door.
They open the room, and they're like, "ah, shamozzle."
- Look, I think you're right.
- Yeah, actually I wouldn't- - Oh!
- Yeah. - It's not quite right,
but I like the,
I like the thought process. - Okay.
- I like that, I'll use that.
I'll be like, this morning has been a total shamozzle.
- [Mariah] So, the next word is-
- Okay, wait, hold on.
Yute?
But, remove the Y and then that's an Aussie word.
- We got a spelling mistake here.
(Mariah laughing)
- The Ute is Australian truck.
- Did you say a truck?
- Yeah.
- No? - I really want you to use it
in a sentence.
- Oh, there was bare yutes outside.
- Wha' goin' on my yute.
- Wait, sorry, what was that?
Was that, was that English?
- I think it's something that is musical?
- I actually think this is easy, but probably not.
- Like inexperienced, immature?
Naive? - Okay, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It does describe a younger person.
- Okay, fine.
- But often it's like, he's, he's just a yute.
- A youth- - Yeah.
- I guess, is what it comes from.
- A youth. - Again,
you're just spelling it differently.
- [Tom] And next up we have.
- Okay, there's two ways in my head,
I think of saying this,
it's like bottle-o or botlo.
- Bottlo?
- Do you say, oh I got bottlo last night?
- No.
- Oh, okay, this is making me think,
he's a bottlo, like, he's a melt,
like, he's soft, he doesn't follow through.
- The first thing comes to my head is bottle.
I'm just thinking bottle, like a drink bottle?
- You are on the right track.
- The toilets in the pub?
- Ew.
- Be like, oh, I just went to the bottlo last night.
(James gasping)
- Have you been to Australia?
(group laughing)
- I've watched a lot of Home and Away.
- I'm not gonna get it, we're gonna be here all day.
- Maybe it's like a convenience store of some form.
A store that probably just sells alcohol.
- Bingo, yeah, that's right. - Really?
Is it literally just that? - Yeah, that's it, that's it.
Yeah. - It's a bottle shop.
- Oh. - It's a bottlo.
- You have to go to either an alcohol store,
you can't get it from, like, a convenience store.
We're legit.
(upbeat music)
- [Sepi] Okay, so next one.
- Clapped.
- This happens all the time to me.
(Mariah laughing)
Do I get a point?
- [Male] No.
- I mean, look, I automatically think of, like, clap back.
I know that that's not it.
- Is it like- - I think you got like-
- You had a witty response?
- I like your thought, but it's not right.
- What do you think it means?
- Like I've done something great.
- Ooh, so wrong.
- Either, I feel like it's, like, something
that did really, really well,
or something that did really, really wrong.
- Oh, is it more like a-
(James slow clapping)
Like a slow clap? - No.
- Okay, I'll use in a sentence, yeah?
- Yeah.
- Wow, he's clapped.
- Wow, he's clapped?
Like is he, like, buff?
- No!
No, no, no.
It's quite the opposite.
- Is it like the opposite of peng, like ugly?
- Because you use it for anyone,
you can even use it for food. - God, that's-
- You can be like, wow, that's clapped.
That's clapped.
- Well, I don't deserve anything for that one.
(Mariah laughing)
This has been a shamozzle.
(Mariah laughing)
- It was a fun time.
It was about the journey. - Yeah.
- Not the destination.
- Exactly.
- I think I'm clued up a bit more.
- I would say that I have learnt some new words,
but do I understand them?
Absolutely not.
