One of my favorites has to be: sharky biscuits, which means kids going to the beach

[@KristiContemplates]

Sharky biscuits are Boogie boards, which are usually used by kids so yeah

[@joshhitxoriginal9367]

@@KristiContemplates I figured this out when I looked it up after first hearing this on a podcast like 2-3 years ago, cause that's just one of those slang terms or phrases where you just kinda have to know how or why it came about; the at first seemingly absurd nature of it made it one of favorites

[@weirdunclebob]

"Do you want me to give you some context?" I was a bit disappointed when Dan said this but then he came out with "Fang us a dart, cnut." and it gets me every time. Seen this about three times but it still cracks me up. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jamespage9399]

Damn, when I saw the thumbnail, I thought "...Is that Daniel Muggleton holding up Australia next to Steve Hofstetter, or am I having a stroke?" This was hysterical, I should have been taking notes! Looking forward to seeing Steve, got tickets for his show in October!

I LOVE ❤ this game!!! I always learn something & my favorite is NO WUKKAN FURRIES!!! You two are brilliant together!

[@russhall1414]

Oh my God I love their f*** off song

[@janedoe4471]

We love adding swears to gaps in songs, I think we got that trait from the Scottish, I’ve seen them do the same to their national anthem.

[@AdamMclardy]

It’s so fun to see these ones from when I was there!!

[@Mr_SaucepanEater]

Strewth, that was bloody great mate..

[@tundranocaps]

I wish we also had the answers, even if only in a text-over :D

[@KristiContemplates]

Yeah nah you don't 🤣

[@robertsertori5559]

Which specifically? Also Google should know

[@dr.ryttmastarecctm6595]

Thank you for again lifting my spirits.

[@nooneimportant6778]

Bloody funny mate, Good on ya Steve.

[@jeaniebottle6758]

I now know more about Australia than I did before, bonzer!

[@ChristopherLaHaise]

Heh, in Canada, we do 'yeah, no', and 'no, yeah' as well. :D

[@alisaishere]

In the US, the Midwest has a few versions of this, or at least Chicago does.

Hey Me, I enjoyed this video.

[@theodorec5775]

By far my favorite Aussie slang is "Flat Track Bully"

[@levz360]

I've always wondered. Does he have multiple track suits? Or is he medically confined to that one like jake Gyllenhaal in bubble boy?

[@elilevine2410]

Thanx for the laughs!

[@MargauxChanning]

"Nutbush City Limits" was a song by Tina Turner about her hometown - Nutbush, Tennessee. What has that got to do with Australia?

[@Jen-cc9xk]

Nothing! But the song and accompanying dance has always been an Australian party favourite.

[@KristiContemplates]

@@Jen-cc9xk the Australian Education System has failed my kids as they do not know how to do this dance 😭

[@KristiContemplates]

The dance is great when snow balled 🤣

[@Jen-cc9xk]

@@KristiContemplates funny you should say that, lol. My third grade teacher taught it to us for a parents' day presentation. 🤣

[@janedoe4471]

If you play that song in the presence of Australians, regardless of environment, they are compelled to dance….. how it hasn’t been used against us in combat is a mystery to me.

"Strewth magooth" sounds like it started off life as "it's the truth, my guy" in a sloppy game of telephone

Have u heard of and listened to Australiana by Austen Tayshus.

[@shipofthesun]

1:39 " What do you do when there aren't spiders?" There are always spiders in Australia. Many of which are 10ft. tall and faster than a racehorse.

[@relwaretep]

GOOOOOOOOON OF FOOORTTTTUUUUUUNNNNE

[@russhall1414]

It's also a reference to how freaking big the spiders are that you can Frick them

[@marcisunshine18]

Fuck oats is the vegan version of Fuck spiders.. you’re welcome you can use that😉🤪

Steve: We're not here to fuck spiders. Rachnera Arachnera: (disappointed) Awww...

Can’t believe nobody said “Gatorade saxophone”

[@janedoe4471]

Or beer bong.

[@alisaishere]

@@janedoe4471 Beer bong is common in the US. If you went to college, you at least know of what one is. They make and sell fun designed ones, but the traditionalists still go to Home Depot and make them from scratch.

[@miggareto]

@@janedoe4471 yeah beer bongs are everywhere, I don’t think Gatorade sales are higher in any other country.

[@janedoe4471]

@@alisaishere wow it’s global! I used two add a tap at each end of the hose just in case someone had to call it quits.

[@alisaishere]

@@miggareto I never heard the term Gatorade saxophone, but took a guess and I was right. Not to poop on ya, but don't forget Gatorade was created in the US and is a huge part of our professional sports. The brands logo and name are all over everything here. We even waste it for show. In football the players dump a big dispenser full of Gatorade on their coach after winning a big game.

[@RayneOfSalt]

"Strewth mah gooth"? Yeah, nah. That bloke was takin' the piss.

More than two shakes is considered a wank.

[@Jivvi]

There's an American version of that too. "If you shake it more than twice, you're playing with it."

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

I'm all good with that 😅

I remember learning “bluey” from Nicole Kidman when she was on _Conan_ one time. Apparently it means redhead 😁

[@janedoe4471]

Or a tradies blue singlet. So a tradie is a tradesman, a plumber, electrocution, bricklayer, carpenter, etc
