AUSTRALIA vs NEW ZEALAND Speech | Part 2

#kiwislang #aussieslang #aussievskiwi
Slang words are a major part of the speech patterns in every country. Australia and New Zealand are so close to each other, that many of our slang words cross over! Morgan Bradley has joined Candice again for another Australia vs New Zealand video, this time with a focus on the slang speech in each country! This session was cut into 3 videos, so make sure you check out part 1 to catch the beginning of our slang word chit chat!

In New Zealand we say Dead Set but it refers to determination. "I'm dead set on that" means you won't budge from that idea and you're determined to prove or achieve that thing

[@PrometheanRising]

In the US as well.

[@moonlitegram]

The US has a lot of crossover with a number of these as well: - cold one (very common) - Muppet (rarely) - going off (very common) - iffy (very common) - dead set (pretty common, but only the Kiwi version as in determined. We wouldn't use it as a replacement for true) - We also might use hard case, but in a different way. It would be used to describe someone that's very difficult. Or perhaps if a guy was dating a girl she might warn him that her dad's a bit of a hard case, meaning it'll be really hard for the guy to get her dad to like him

[@kirstyanyahairartist]

i think deadset is more used to mean definitely than true here in oz

[@PrometheanRising]

In American English, an egghead is someone who is academic or booksmart, sometimes it also carries the connotation that the person is not very smart outside of books. To ask 'do you have eggs for brains?', however, entirely means 'are you stupid?'

[@neddyladdy]

A slab is specific to Melbourne

[@redapol5678]

Growing up I always hated when my grandmother would refer to dinner as “tea” because it was food not a drink, and until now I’ve never consciously recognised that we actually do differentiate between “have tea” (dinner) and “have a cup of/cuppa tea” (drink)!

[@Airbrushwiz]

You two are so much fun to watch and learn from!

[@candicemoll8386]

Thanks! So glad you're having fun!

[@Kevin-nw9om]

"pissed" in the states usually means angry. Very confusing with some of my Ozzie friends when they knew I wasn't drinking.

[@PrometheanRising]

'Yeah.. no' and 'no... yeah' feature in American English as well. Loved the use of 'chuck' for 'to throw'. There is actually a great old burger place where I live called 'Chuck A Burger'. On the other hand, And unrelated to the burger joint, chuck can also mean to vomit in American English.

[@loang3991]

For the slang word "slab" kiwis would say "box"

[@kirstyanyahairartist]

ive been in oz for 22 years and moved here from nz when i was 22 and we said tea for dinner in nz but aftyer living in SA, VIC, NSW and QLD i can say ive never heard it called tea here in oz, its always dinner i thought tea was a fully kiwi thing. Love your vids and the connection you have so much fun to watch :)

[@robbieadam8667]

There’s a good few in here that are also used in Scotland. Tea instead of dinner is common place both here and in Northern England which I m guess makes sense….

[@AvanaVana]

The “cowboy” US version of “bloody oath” might be “darn tootin’” (sometimes pronounced “dern tootin”, or the more general “damn straight”. Maybe also “you betcha”, in some instances, though that can also just mean “sure”, or “okay”.

[@michaelfink64]

Although Australia and New Zealand are kind of like brothers and seem close to each other, Sydney to Auckland is actually 2,155 km, which is further than London to Kiev. So I think it is surprising how similar Australian and New Zealand slang are.

[@candicemoll8386]

True!

[@meSNakeIce]

Perfect! Waiting for the part 3.:)

[@candicemoll8386]

Coming soon!

[@Xtn1Insecticide]

A slab is a 24 pack. We also share yeah but…. Adding “but…” at the end of a sentence also like Irish and Scotish

[@kristensaenz6421]

You two are great together!

[@CIATV-ve4ml]

Thanks for this video. I can confirm as a kiwi (also living in LA currently) we use wop wops.. but before I left about 10 years ago we just shortened it to "the wops". Also Morgan where was "choice"? :) love these videos!

[@Hedriks]

I always use the term 'tiki tour' when I'm going galavanting. And the term 'hard case'.... I use it often. You'll find a lot of Maoris use that term. Because there's a lot of hard-cases in their (whanau). I think 'woop woop' is a normal term in Australia being such a vast country with a massive dessert in the middle of it.

[@davidkennedy3297]

This was great thanks girls couple of top chicks😂

[@fuckdefed]

Some of these are used in multiple countries but I was surprised that ‘muppet’, an extremely popular slang term in the U.K. was used in New Zealand but not Australia according to this video. Checking on Wiktionary it seems like ‘muppet’ is used in both Aus and NZ though. ‘Munted’ is used to mean ‘drunk’ in the U.K. but I wasn’t aware of the various other senses it’s developed down under - it seems like they’re uniquely antipodean according to Wiktionary too. Interesting! 🤔

[@moonknight4053]

I say munted to describe ugly physical features, or ugly behaviour or being drunk, “she’s munted bruv did u not see her move on quickly from that last relo?”

[@fuckdefed]

@@moonknight4053 From that last ‘relationship’ I suppose?

[@Frank-rx8ch]

What do you call a tongue twister? 😜🤪😛 It's when your tang gets tungled up.

[@gilbertoborges8478]

Very good

[@QanunAlShah]

I never say tea. So confusing. Just say dinner lol

[@neddyladdy]

Tea, also tee someone up - make an arrangement with someone or let them know the plan

[@dominics4100]

lol, I like 'woop woop' and 'wop wop', I always grew up with 'the boonies' and all these words are kind of adorable -- which is odd cause you tend to say them when frustrated/lost "I am in the middle of the freaking boonies!!!'

[@candicemoll8386]

Haha! I like them too :p

[@NoirL.A.]

yep "the boonies", "the sticks", "podunk" or the far more crude version "bumfuck". "woop woop" never heard that one in my life til' youtube came along.

[@NoirL.A.]

if you look up the etymology several of these are actually american in origin. i'd guess they were picked up over time in OZ and NZ from tv and movies. i'm american but lived in oz fer 2 1/2 years and they use tons of american slang down there esp. younger people. they can also get incredibly annoyed if you point out that the phrases in question are american so i usually kept my mouth shut about it.

[@jimmykerr2983]

😊 but whoop whoop means a hiding 😊 JAKX

[@jadestepp1998]

We use some of these in the US too like iffy!

[@johnny6127]

Good

[@holleysdotcom]

A slab in the US refers to the table a dead body is placed upon in order to perform an autopsy. "I'll need to get him on the slab." Being far from civilization is often called the boonies or boondocks, as others have mentioned. It's also called being "Out in the sticks", based on forested or natural surroundings.

[@PrometheanRising]

Boondocks after Daniel Boone, the rugged frontiersman. Can also be referred to by the acronym, BFE. You can look that one up. Lol.

[@JeremyTSmith47]

I understood boondocks actually comes from a Philippines word bundok- meaning place in the back of nowhere. Also in NZ an alternate word to wops is backblocks i.e. miles out of town@@PrometheanRising

[@PrometheanRising]

@JeremyTSmith47 You understand correctly and I had it wrong. In fairness to me, where I lived to go there, you were literally going out past, or near, where some of the famous Boone's used to live

[@holleysdotcom]

@@PrometheanRising LOLOL! I almost included that, but didn't for likely similar reasons you opted for the acronym.

[@winkmurder]

Woop woop??? 😂😂😂 That's my favourite one so far. (I'd say "out in the 'boonies'" Ever heard of that?)

[@toyota420xp]

Woop,woop would be a yell of excitemnt in america

[@felipeulloa8235]

like NZ resident, took me a while to understanding it, but now could I say I do really love NZ accent. Specially on girls sounds pretty sexy.

[@mottahead6464]

Munted.... could it have something to do with dismantled? (Just asking - " what and egg head ").

[@lavender2699]

I'm from NZ and we also have "cabbage" instead of "egg".

[@toyota420xp]

Dead set in usa would be like im dead set on having steak for dinner. Meaning its something you want and nobody will change your mind

[@thatcarguy6]

10:59: So The Rest Of This Video Right Is You Rambling & Fighting Over "tea".

[@annemariecronen9096]

Americans(at least in the midwest) say "yeah, no" for the same reason lol

[@annemariecronen9096]

We also use "dead set" as in "he's dead set on leaving tomorrow"

[@toyota420xp]

Grotty in usa means the same but its more like groaty.

[@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh]

is dead set like cross my heart or swear to God>

[@marcosantoniostreit2918]

Some german influence, crook (krank in germany)

[@jimmykerr2983]

😊 if you were wearing a tiki would she get it

[@busrasimsek559]

I'm not a native English speaker but I'm watching your kiwi vs. aussie videos. I don't even know what are you talking about lmao. I like the accents both 😔 wish I could talk kiwi or aussie accent it's cool and sounds sweet

[@jayb8369]

You ladies could pass as sisters!! 😊Love your videos.

[@PrometheanRising]

Am. Eng., Grotty = groddy

[@toyota420xp]

Usa is a case or rack of beer not a slab

[@user-bf8ud9vt5b]

This vid is going off like a frog in a sock! 😆 Yes, munted is used in Oz. (I'm guessing it's a result of the words 'mangled' and 'busted' being squished together, a bit like squiz is thought to be a blend of 'squint' and 'quiz'). We're happy little Vegemites As bright as bright can be. We all enjoy our Vegemite For breakfast, lunch, and TEA. 🎶

[@fisslimen]

Morgan looks like Léa Paci!

[@candicemoll8386]

I can see that a little bit in the smile 😊

[@kathrynregan3214]

New Zealand and Australia are on different continents (google it my daughter learnt it at school)

[@candicemoll8386]

There are mixed results on this and the info seems to be different depending on where you went to school! I've found articles stating that New Zealand and Aus are on the same continent (Australasia), others that say they're on different continents, and more still saying that New Zealand is not a part of a continent at all! I'm sure there's an explanation to this, I just haven't found it yet! Haha!

[@redapol5678]

@@candicemoll8386 it all depends on how one defines what a continent is. Some people mean “continental plate” which can be defined, but most people mean “large land mass that is divided by culture” which is a really loose definition and a whole other kettle of fish 🤯 Just ask someone from a different “continent” (eg Europe, South America) how many continents there are (and what they are) but be prepared for World War 3 (figuratively) 🤣

[@nathanroberts355]

Why don't you get some Aussie slang bloody pelican from crocodile Dundee film which Paul Hogan says it

[@go-aheadbe-offended1767]

You sound like twins. You need to add South African accents.

[@candicemoll8386]

I don't have any SA mates close by. But maybe one day!

[@toyota420xp]

Cold one is usa
