I have a pretty thick Aussie accent, and I have accepted that nobody has a clue what the hell I'm talking about when I travel, but they assume I'm gonna be a good time, and that's all I need 😂

[@Loserface583]

This comment made my day lol

[@happytraveller2122]

I travel a lot. Now I wonder IF people understand me 😂😂😂😂

[@martinkuliza]

sorry mate, what was that, i didn't catch what you said :P

[@xavierrose8208]

The lady saying choccy bicky was so cute lol

[@robbieb1254]

And Sang-ga. I proper laughed out loud

[@zzodysseuszz]

@@robbieb1254 it’s just Sanga

[@evolveausevolveaus]

100% smashable

[@AnimalLover-yy1ml]

As an Aussie, I didn't realise that we do indeed speak gibberish like it's actually english 😂😂

[@aussiedanny28au15]

As an australian i realised i've actually spoken gibberish all the time not english😂

[@A_Name_]

It's like Australia and germany are having a war on how long words should be. In 50 years germany will have one giant word for every thing and australia with just have single syllable words

[@SeraphineFrost]

As an Aussie watching this, I didn't even realise some of these phrases were exclusive to Australia lol

[@sharonralph3860]

They are not. They all are New Zealand phrases too.

[@SeraphineFrost]

@@sharonralph3860 Wait really? Cool! Though I think I was more surprised about how some of these phrases weren't used by English speakers globally, and not just in a small corner of it. I also haven't been to New Zealand, but I do realise that Australia and New Zealand have their cultural similarities, I just hadn't known that that had also included some of these phrases so thank you for teaching me something new!

[@peterwimsey1]

good onions mate. Glad you enjoyed them.

[@Bobbydazzlla]

On your Bunnos with the lot

[@zygggie6985]

The guy at 2:15 when he said no he sounded Australian

[@WelcomeTo]

Haha wow that is spot on. Maybe he is secretly Australian...?

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Nut

[@busterc1760]

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT ❤️

[@shermanator87]

Some of this was PhD level Aussie slang, you can't expect the young blood to be up on it.

[@TV-tq5lt]

Kkkkkkkk

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

It's all pretty common stuff.

[@iffin3786]

Its for a content, not like they’re getting graded or anything.

[@klgherkin]

I met a guy from the Netherlands once who said he loved Australian slang including "chockablock," then described the Australian beaches as "un-chockablock" haha It was very endearing :'D

[@pjroo]

Un-chockablock 🤣😂😅 ...woke up the neighbours I swear! 😂

[@dvefnch]

I don't often laugh out loud reading the comments section but that was a ripper...😂👍

[@davehatte1056]

Chock-a-block is not a slang term. It means when a pulley block(using 2 or more pulleys) is at the top of it's support.

[@pbrucpaul]

The German girl is a doll. Australia actually has many immigrants like we do. "Here, let's cook it on the Barby, and crack a tube Mate." Let's have a barbeque and have a beer.

[@easa1996]

One of the Japanese guys in my friend, well done confusing him!

[@WelcomeTo]

Easa Alshemsi Haha I did my best! 😜

[@lunch2102]

Dude, they were all confused

[@mattwright652]

This channel is underrated! that was funny af

[@WelcomeTo]

Yay, thanks Matt! 😁😁

[@darkale658]

"Have these phrases helped you?" "...no" diedddddd

[@alexpaulyoungthemuso3937]

I feel very strongly that I met the 2 blonde German tourists in the first half of 2019 when i was living in the top part of western Australia in a town called halls creek I worked the front counter in a convenience store on the corner leading out of town and had a brief convo with the bloke about where he and his missus were going on their holiday The nostalgic feeling is so strong I remember how gorgeous his girlfriend was

[@moniker994]

I love watching people trying to decipher Australian slang like it’s a different language

[@ansilniroula1098]

I m glad that I knew 90 percent of these slang having lived in Australia for 10 long years.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

I've only ever used "good onya" sarcastically and I've rarely heard it used sincerely. Poor Asian people. Their languages are so drastically different they had no chance

[@elizabethscott7660]

In true Aussie style it's shortened to onya

[@kenchristie9214]

When asked "How ya goin", the reply is "Flat out like a lizard drinking".

[@WelcomeTo]

and chuck "mate" on the end!

[@peytongomer2305]

My favourite is how we say fucking “trackie dacks” lmfao

[@suzyfarnham3165]

I have Yank friends who love how we shorten everything and chuck a 'y' on the end? Chrissy prezzy!!

[@davidsutton5958]

If something is "Chocker's," it's full. Not necessarily " Busy."

[@harrycurrie9664]

Yes, often used it to say I'm full of food.

[@adrianburns7975]

I agree the proper meaning of chockers is full. Like really full .. can't take any more. if the shops were chockers .. kind of means it's busy though (full of people)

[@DropBearClaire]

I'm glad you used slang we actually still use 👌

[@onigvd77]

i would say chockers means more directly full, “oh man i’m chockers i can’t eat any more”

[@Yellahighway]

Dang! Dat German gurl 😍😍

[@susanab7]

There's a Maccas right behind them!

[@dellucid9610]

As a Australian from the sticks and now in the city. Nice video

[@peterdawes1868]

My grand mothers best friend from the early forties until they passed of old age. A third generation Chinese Australian woman whom worked as a cook in the out back of Australia on cattle and sheep station's. The charming little lady could speak seven language's. "Strine", and six aboriginal dialects. Not English or Chinese. Strine is a rhyming slang like the English style but with an aussie twist, of course. I met her when she was ninety seven years old. I was six. I had not one clue as to what she was saying, her grand daughter had to translate so we could have a conversation. She was wonderful to talk with. R.I.P Aunty Bee.

[@WadjilaCherokeeX]

Good job. Actually the first Aussie slang video that uses words that are spoken everyday in Australia that I have watched. on ya m8

[@ErinSmith]

This is glorious, I love doing this with international friends too!

[@craiglist879]

Sooo funny. I was never that great at foreign languages but having lived in Australia now for 30 years, I'm glad to report I got all of them, and quite often use them too. So, onya mate.

[@swfan1527]

this was such an awesome content! thanks!

[@clairash2004]

This was sooo good. Only one I had an issue with was chokablock, it means really full.

[@Mav_F]

I agree with you. But every state seems to have different meaning for some words. I guess its from being lost in translation

[@suzyfarnham3165]

I just say 'chockers' .'It was chockers full of chocolate'

[@SmilingBanshee1667]

Or chockers for short

[@guidinggaia5947]

As full as a state school hat rack. Bloody oath mate, fair dinkum, I am not pulling ya leg mate.

[@smriti798]

More of such videos please

[@RylandCreates]

I'm loving this content. ☺

[@WelcomeTo]

RylandsMusic Thanks Ryland! 😁 Hope you’re going well 🙂

[@fakeneba]

i love oz accent mate. really funny

[@zulkiflijamil4033]

G'day Josh I just discovered your video your channel. This excellent channel really opens up our horizon. Chuck a sickie and chuck a u'ey are among the Ozzie slang words ireally like. Thanks mate

[@muddlesmckeen9272]

It's fun watching them try

[@motzraul6821]

2:55 choco sticky hhaha that was funny

[@austrolonium8115]

This is very entertaining for me as an Australian

[@videofreak6047]

Right mate!

[@bluejhaygrl]

This was great, everyone was a really good sport with it all. :)

[@AbiNomac]

Chockablock was once a popular ice-cream in Australia too.

[@BabyBodyBabyHead]

Chockers/Chockerblock means full. Not busy. In the context he was using it it's correct, but you wouldn't say for instance "I was chockers at work today" cause you were busy. But you might say that you were chockers if you ate too much, or that work was chockers cause the place was full of customers. A bus is chockers cause every seat is full. The Aussie expression for busy (as in you got a lot you have/had to do) is flat out like a lizard drinking, or just flat out for sure. Alternative is flat knacka

[@mickey9033]

The Germans are so good looking! 😍

[@maxi9017]

[@raerose8469]

[@philipsmi-lenguyen8155]

You'll be right mate. You'll get it in no time if ya ain't got it yet. Lol.

[@franceskinskij]

I do have some cousins living in Australia, but my english accent tends to american because most english teachers I had were americans

[@jaganmayeesahoo4210]

Great thanks mate, you made my accent pretty good.# Tons of love from INDIA

[@CurvyCass1982]

My grandma after we went to the beach says, "it was chockablock" Me as a 5 year old "chocolate block?!" 😂

[@stmartin17773]

Expression on their faces with chucka x,y,z lol

[@SmallWonda]

Is funny - mind you I don't think I'd understand you just listening, Mate! And I've been here 13-years!! 👍😉🦘🐾

Daily Mail just wrote an article about this video, check it out here: www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-7454639/KZbinr-confuses-tourists-Aussie-slang-understand.html

[@fknows1]

good onya mate can have several meaning, depends how it is said

[@neilt6480]

hah. Shoulda tried em on the chunder song from bazza mckenzie: I had a technicolour yawn and I chundered in the old pacific sea.

[@TP-fl9ul]

Hahaha kein problem

My fav ... " it's a nice die to die."

[@gbp4998]

When I was working in Melbourne city, my coworkers shorten my name from Bilyana to Billy and now it's just Bill. Soon enough it will be just B.

[@3338110]

chockers is full not busy.

[@zildog]

+1 How can my guts be busy if I can't eat any more. Or if I walk into a stadium full of people and say, Whoa! The place is chockers!"

[@WelcomeTo]

Yeah full is probably more accurate. Though it can also mean busy/crowded :)

[@JoeeyTheeKangaroo]

Watching this from England, it's amazing how similar we are. We wouldn't say 'chuck' we'd say 'pull a sickie' though.

[@swanlee7429]

Aussie slangs is so interesting to learn, i just need to put some hard yakka.

[@TheWudflart]

I forget we have so much slang poor tourists.. nice people you talked to.

[@davidhines68]

German guy said "Kein Problem," which is a pretty good translation.

[@Richard_Gonda]

i just can't stop laughing ahhaah chuck a sickey xD what the heck hhahaha

[@texastexas4541]

Fair dinkum, the dingo aite moy boibee.

[@Donnywill11]

Yeah mate the traffic is chocoblock, chuck a fucking U e, oath cnt

[@notoneitherside1485]

The Asian bloke is spot on. chuck a sickie = fuck work, I'm going to the pub with me mates

[@martinkuliza]

CH0CKABLOCK does not mean BUSY it means FULL, PACKED UP so if you say , it's Chocablock in here (and you're in a shopping centre) it doesn't mean the shopping centre is busy (even though it can be interpreted that way ) IT ACTUALLY MEANS... THE SHOPPING CENTRE IS FULL AND PACKED UP WITH PEOPLE which in turn means it's busy but Chocca's means FULL not Busy if you're in traffic and it's chocca's it means you are bumper to bumper and the roads are full

[@bluediskentertainment]

My accent is so think that other Australians often don't understand me.

[@Corkoth55]

I speak American English and I can understand a lot of what aussies say, but dont expect me to respond and keep up 😂😂 but you can get totally lost in the lingo 😂

[@martinkuliza]

4:55 what was that there is literally a macca's behind her LOL

[@codymulcahy1788]

Man I having an Aussie accent. True blue baby.

[@whisperedmessage4409]

I’ve lived here since I was 12 and now 26. Now I understand why my family keep getting on to me to speak “normally” 😂😂😂

[@paulrom446]

Ive😢heard a U Turn described in the United States as 'Flipping a Chester!' So I guess if you rotate a'C' 90 Degrees it becomes an U! Right?

[@tonunepz8358]

Good onion mate

[@weandi2171]

Didn't even know most of this was slang had to search it up because i thought you were lying

[@worldofgreenhell]

3:35 I must be watching a lot of GTA5 RP because I immediately knew what it is :D

[@andrewpage3221]

Lol this is funny

[@MrMuel1205]

I sometimes feel ashamed when I see stuff like this. I was born in Australia and grew up in Brisbane and Hong Kong, and now live in Hobart. But whenever I travel, people think I'm English. Even in London. And the Aussie accent is so beloved worldwide, yet I need to fake it to sound like an Australian... which I actually am.

[@pearshaped9116]

I grew up in Hobart, I feel you pain

[@anjaliwarland6562]

I grew up in Canberra. Get asked if I'm Canadian ALL the time lol
