"Servo" or service station was from days in the distant past (which I vaguely remember as a young kid) when an attendant came up to your car, asked how much petrol (yes the "l" is pronounced) you wanted, pumped it in, washed your windscreen, checked the oil, and so on. All included in the pump price. Such days are consigned to folklore now. Occasionally there is still a mechanic workshop attached to servos. There is sometimes a bottle-o attached to the servo (eg a small Coles Liquorland attached to Shell servos) too!

We call 'em "Stubby Holders" or "Hand warmers". Never heard it called a stubby cooler.. must be an Eastern states thing. As for service stations, back in the day you would drive up and an attendant would come out and provide service - ie fill up with petrol, clean windscreen, add water for wipers - hence the "Service Station". By the late 1980's, these all were "self service" and now referred to in full as Petrol Station but the Servo moniker has stuck

I believe that the can of 'Off' used to be called 'Buzz Off' back in the day and was reusing an Australian slang [Buzz off] which you would say to a person who is talking and annoying you. Their yap is irritating and continuous so you'd say "Buzz off" either in mild irritation or in a very strong tone. So the term was adopted to sell insect repellant since insects often buzz.

Tall poppy syndrome is a term which originated in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s that refers to people with notable public success, who excessively promote their own achievements and opinions.[1][2] Intense scrutiny and criticism of such a person is termed as "cutting down the tall poppy".
@bellabana
@bellabana 6 сағат бұрын
Nope, Aussies use the tall poppy syndrome out of envy and petty jealousy, not because the person is heavily promoting themselves as you claim. It’s a very Australian thing to do, that’s why it’s referred to as ‘typical tall poppy syndrome’ as it’s not about the person themselves but US being petty yet using it as an excuse to cut the person down….

No Peter Doherty? No Fred Hollows? No Sir Reginald Ansett? No Sidney Myer? No Dick Smith? No Paul Hogan? No Bud Tingwell? No Richie Benaud? No Dawn Fraser? No Pharlap? No Ita Buttrose? No The list goes on. But the fly-by-nighters, the people who think like Trump, those who are in it for themselves and don't care who they stand on, on their way up are the tall poppies that get cut down Christopher Skase YES Alan Bond YES Gina Rinehart YES Rupert Murdoch YES (His mother would be turning in her grave if she knew what he did/does) Any politician (past or present) "who wroughts the system" YES Clive Palmer YES YES YES Do you see a pattern forming here ? Tall Poppy Syndrome may have historically started out as jealousy or resentment, but for the past 40 or 50 years it is a way to bring superficial hucksters back down to earth, no matter what industry, level of society or level of BS they have been spouting.

There's a very successful book from then called "Tall Poppies" (or similar) and it explains how we tend to tear people down who are too successful, or move out of their "station". When Kylie Minogue first had success in the UK , people in Australia turned against her, stating that she was "up herself" and so on. It's always been about staying humble and not putting up with anyone who thinks they're better than anyone else.

I've said this before but there's a descending grade of words in Australia. "Mate' is a near universal word and covers everything from friendliness to hostility - "Are you having a go at me, mate?" [tone is everything]. Things are going downhill if you are called 'Sport" - "Listen, sport, you want to pull your head in". When you get called 'Sunshine" it's time to run - "I'm beginning to think you fell down and broke your nose, sunshine."

The phrase has kind of been lost to time as cartons became more popular, but a slab is specifically when all cans are laid out on the same level. They used to come in a cardboard tray, shrink wrapped, but now in the non plastic days, everything's in cardboard boxes, so modern slabs don't really resemble a slab. Also a stubby, is specifically a short single serve bottle with no neck, like VB, not just any old bottle.

Yeah it is weird, in NSW the 'stubby' is the mid size bottle 375 or 330mL , 'tallies' or 'long necks' are 750mL and small 250mL bottle is referred to as 'twist top' or 'throw down' . Grew up in NSW and that's all I've ever known them as, but would imagine that varies amongst the states.

Australia is still part of the Commonwealth of Nations, which is not the same as "England," but is a group of independent countries that were mostly formerly under British rule, and Australia is considered a "Commonwealth realm" where the British monarch (King Charles III) is still the head of state, though this role is largely symbolic

Of course, you realise that we don’t have the British monarch as our Head of State? Oh no! Instead of that, we have our very own Head of State, our constitutional monarch the King/Queen of Australia, although we do share the real person occupying the office of our Head of State with 14 or so other equally independent countries. So rather than saying “the British monarch (King Charles III) is still the head of state” it would have been more accurate to have inserted “also” before “is the head of state”, having removed the “still”, more accurately reflecting the current status of our Head of State.

How slang, nicknames etc is all about the tone. Inflection is key. Sarcasm is also a big part of pur language and a self deprecating sense of humour.

When deciding a footy team, it can be hard for someone new to the country. Traditionally it was related to your suburb or city however it’s 2025 not 1925 so the whole country is your oyster. I have asked new arrivals how they chose their team. The answers varied from the first game they saw, to who they worked with, to the colours they traditionally followed at home. There is no right or wrong answer you just have to find your tribe- especially here in Melbourne. As for explaining local sayings, I work with a number of people who were not born in Australia, I am the cultural ambassador… I explain sayings eg. ants in your pants and other cultural norms - fairy bread. It can be hard arriving in a new country and not understanding what is going on. I know I moved to New Zealand and let me tell you it’s a different country 50% of the time and had to go through the whole language thing. Fun fact in NZ you go to varsity not university, and a milk bar is a dairy. Have a good day and by the way you can visit Australia by chance if you are heading to New Zealand.

In Australia, we do have hotdogs in the supermarket, but much more popular are our real meat sausages. Americans seem to say sausage when they mean minced meat, but in Australia, the sausage refers to the shape, and the sausage filling refers to the meat and whatever else is inside the natural casings. Sausages are not hotdogs. Sausages can be thin or thick and are made from minced meat and combinations thereof: beef, lamb, pork, chicken, beef and lamb, beef and pork, pork and lamb, lamb with mint, chicken and veg, beef with rosemary and thyme, beef and onion, beef with tomato and herbs, etc. Limitless combinations! We pan fry them, or boil them first and then panfry them, which releases some of the fat and yet keeps it moist and tender, with a crispy skin. Bunnings sausage sizzle is a slice of bread with a sausage and some caramelised onions, then you can choose tomato sauce or barbecue sauce. Delicious. Bloody delicious!

Nope. You can just use "Mate" when you don't know the name of that arsehole who just stole your parking spot. no affection at all. It's like the American, "Buddy". You missed the whole point of the "eee" sound. That's the sound of a "y". Not the spelling of the sound.

Replay it, arvo sounds different to avo. Ah-voh, but avvo short vowel A. I know it’s a problem 8n America when it comes to short vowels, some of them are actually short, like apple, but many of them get drawn out for some reason. Again, I blame Noah Webster for everything that’s wrong with American English. Webster kept 470,000 English words but the official Oxford Dictionary of English has 600,000 words.

G'day Ryan.The term Tradie used to be the skilled, Trades Qualified Men at worksites. They usually got paid more than the non-trades workers due to higher skill sets and work capabilities/duties. To an inexperianced eye the lauberors (trades assistant) would often be confused as a tradesman.(an experianced laberour will often develop many of the trades skills. Thus making them capable of many of the same tasks) Over time these non trades people were assumed to be tradesmen so eventually everyone at the site would be called a tradie. It would be like calling everyone at a hospital a '"Health care proffecional" including the security and cleaners.

Bottle-O is a Chain of Liquour stores in Queensland and NSW. The name seems to have entered the lexicon up there as common word for all bottle shops, but its not used in Victoria, at least not among my Millennial generation. We just say Bottle shop, or we used to maybe say drive-thru as there were a lot of drive through bottle shops in the 80s and 90s, like Thirsty Camel.
