AUSTRALIA vs NEW ZEALAND Speech!

[@lesfox2010]

You two are like a pair of old socks. A very comfortable sense of humour and you both seem to be very nice. Great video, really enjoyed it.

[@naturequeene132]

😂😂 calling them a pair of old socks sounds like the silliest insult ever even though I know you didn’t mean it as an insult. But…. Such a strange thing to say LOL

[@lesfox2010]

@naturequeene132 it's kind of an old expression, but in this case it was meant as a term of endearment.

[@QanunAlShah]

A billabong is an oxbow lake, which is an old section of curved river that the river cut across during flood, and now its just a small lake.

Fair dinkum: it was fairly rare in NZ but it was used when I lived there about 40 years ago.

[@TE19M]

The “aye” at the end, aussies says yea 😂

[@thefantasyreview8709]

"A big one on the turps" is Australia too, its just a bit old and younger Aussies may not have heard it. Turps is Turpentine... it's alchohol used for cleaning paint brushes!

I use it... more in the past tense "I got on the turps last night" sorta thing

[@randallbowlin9475]

Candace and Morgan, thank you for the fun! Always a great time)))) Thumps up every time!

[@candicemoll8386]

Ah thanks mate! Glad you have fun with us!

[@holleysdotcom]

In the US, bail can also simply mean to leave. "I think I'm gonna bail and get some z's." Pissed is more of a crude expression than a swear. "Piss off!" is a mid-grade angry request for you to leave...harsher than "Get out!" but milder than "F*ck off!" Being or becoming pissed can refer to a state of drunkenness or anger. "He was absolutely pissed after drinking all day." "She was pissed that her car got scratched." There is also, "Pissing me off," meaning to be seriously irritated by someone or something. Thanks for the fun video!

[@emmah3]

We have all of these in NZ too. That bail one they discussed was confusing. I would use it like i'm going to bail and it would either mean to leave if i'm already at the place i'm wanting to leave from, or to not show up if I havent yet gone to somewhere I was meant to go.

[@zombieitezombieite1627]

Piss is almost a swear word in the US. It's definitely considered rude. My only misunderstanding when I first visited Australia was when someone said they were "drinking piss." I said, "You were drinking... human excretions??"

[@candicemoll8386]

OMG you must have been so confused! Haha! And thanks for letting us know! It's hard to know the social norms sometimes!

[@meaganbarnie193]

Yes, piss is a more vulgar word for pee so saying it in a sentence in the US or Canada makes it sound like you’re saying something rude. Also being pissed or getting pissed means you are very mad or angry or upset. If someone is making you angry, you might say “you’re really pissing me off!”.

[@kelcritcarroll]

Exactly…..i wrote a letter to my girlfriend to pass in class when we were in 7th grade…i wrote that something pissed me off…..well i never got the chass to pass it to her in school and my dad found it and oh my god did i get in trouble! Im from the usa

[@overlordnat]

Perhaps they said ‘a pint of piss’ to mean ‘a pint of lager’? I don’t think anyone here in England would simply say ‘piss’ to mean ‘lager’ without saying ‘pint of’ first but perhaps the Aussies are weird enough to do that?

[@erick_papi]

[@michaelfink64]

Nice video, Candice and Morgan. You are obviously great mates. As an Aussie, I have to clarify a couple of things. A billabong forms when a meandering river changes course by the "neck" of the loop joining up to form a more direct route, cutting off the old curve in the river, which becomes an isolated U shaped piece of water. "Turps" is definitely used in Australia: "He's on the turps", meaning he drinks a lot (presumably a dipsomaniac would even stoop to drinking turpentine). When you mentioned "dunny", I think it is worth letting people know that that is a somewhat coarse word and that the standard word is "toilet" but never "bathroom" or "restroom". I think it weird that Americans use those terms when it is generally not a place to take a bath or have a rest. Maybe "toilet" is the coarse form for them? By the way, classic US sound effect of the fire engine during the video.

[@candicemoll8386]

Haha! The engines were so loud!

[@katerinakemp5701]

Dunny us kiwis just call it the shit house, bog.

[@michaelfink64]

Same in Australia, but I would consider those courser than toilet. We also use shithouse when referring to a big, strong person (maybe you guys do too?): "built like a brick shithouse".

[@robertacosta6633]

Another FYI Dunny and Donnie might have similar translations with the second word being American of course

I grew up in Australia but live in NZ now and have a been told I have a mixed accent, ( I sometimes have a hard time telling the difference between the two.) Moving to NZ never ask for a rubber (as to erase something) they will think it's something else... and when someone says "choice" don't ask what the "choice" is or what they are choosing.

[@moonlitegram]

same thing in the US with asking for a rubber lol

[@Kiwi_Conor]

Hmm. Maybe a generational thing. Im 44 and growing up in Auckland we definitely used a rubber for rubbing out pencil lol. I can't remember the last time I had to ask someone, but I would still use rubber

[@rohan-mf4ve]

I’m 20 and we said rubber in school in nz??

[@emmah3]

Same 31 and we also used Rubber. I know some people would act childish and laugh at the word so some switched to eraser but I never saw the point. Rubber is faster. I'm too lazy to use an extra syllable just because a minority find rubber laughable.

Fair dinkum is one of my favorite Aussie slang. It’s so funny.

[@taokuoh6805]

In England we say bail for cancelling plans as well lol but it's not commonly used. We use ta as well although I thought it was tar lol. We say chocka or chocka block like when the traffic is ram packed or something is full lol but generally means traffic. We use sweet as, as well. We say taking the piss, a piss up, piece of piss and all other ways of saying it lol saying "p*** off" is kinda swearing lol. Good video love from a fellow Bong lol.

[@Drawble]

[@taokuoh6805]

@@Drawble I think Americans use some of our words but don't use them as commonly as us.

[@misslyss8482]

Cool video. A lot of similar slang in Canada. Ta or ta ta means give it or hand it over never thank you. We get pissed here and when really drunk it's "pissed to the gills", also "shit faced", and occasionally "f**cked out of my tree". We "bail" off bikes and skateboards and also "bail" out of bad or boring situations. 😊

[@FionaEm]

I'm a Gen X Aussie and definitely used 'on the turps' to mean getting drunk when I was in my 20s. Also, I've always thought of 'bail' as an American term, e.g. "We bailed on that party". I wouldn't use it. Fair dinkum is used more as a question these days, e.g. if someone says something you don't quite believe, you might cock one eyebrow at them and ask, "Fair dinkum?"

[@UthacalthingTymbrimi]

I kid you not, there's an Aussie brand of beer, literally called "Piss". They also have a light-beer, which is called "Piss Weak" 🤣

[@Mor2gain_760]

Bail out is definitely used here in California as well !

[@overlordnat]

Most of these terms are used throughout the commonwealth, though ‘bail’ is of American origin and we’re more likely to say ‘knackered/worn out/done for/done in/cream crackered’ than ‘puffed (out)’ in the U.K. ‘chocker’ only refers to traffic (normally vehicular but sometimes pedestrian) and we don’t use the purely antipodean terms ‘dunny’ and ‘fair dinkum’ or ‘billabong’. On the turps’ is an extremely rarely used expression over here but I vaguely recollect hearing it.

[@mareky1234]

Well done. But you do need to clarify a few things. In Oz (and probably New Zealand too). Some words can have multiple meanings, and vastly different too. All based on the context and content of what’s being discussed. Fair Dinkum is one where it could mean I agree, or that’s true, or it’s honest and some others. But the one I want point out that you did well on is Piss. For non Aussies/Kiwis/Poms, Taking the Piss (out of someone), and Taking a Piss are two totally different things. piss is also alcohol, urine or anger (pissed of). These are just a few. So it’s not also swearing or mildly naughty. It can be totally acceptable in polite conversation (as in taking the piss out of your mates). Bastard is also another word that is highly dependent on its context. For eg during Bodyline (it’s on KZbin, just type in, “Which one of you Bastards called this Bastard a Bastard”). I could count at least 5 different meanings in that scene (out of 7 times it’s used). Bastard can be an insult, a friendly greeting or a commiserating gesture (i.e. poor Bastard) that’s neutral in meaning as it’s not an insult at all. It’s what makes our slang so confusing as not enough emphasis and clarification is made in videos such as this (yours are still amongst the best though). And finally to top it off, when we have the “ Great Australian adjective” (i.e. “Bloody”) thrown in. Foreigners really do get easily confused. (BTW, “The Great Australian Adjective”, was actually a humorous poem of that title, that has since lent its name to this word) You guys should do a video on this as you should be able to make it far more enjoyable and entertaining than my poor attempt of an explanation. It’s really good to see us Aussies and Kiwis having fun together. Especially the subtle fun you took of each other that everyone else probably missed.

[@overlordnat]

We poms were the first to say ‘taking the piss’ (and ‘bloody’ for that matter), so we’re well aware of the meaning!
