the story behind Fair dinkum is in the time of the gold rush after work people would go to the pub but when those who go there late the beer was gone so a sign was put up fair drinking but people with a accent pronounce the word fair drinking it sounded like FAIR DINKUM

In the 1960's and 1970's a "tinnie" was a very common expression in Victoria, New South wales and Queensland to mean "can". . . as in can of beer. "Gonna sink a few tinnies with my mates on the weekend" (Gonna drink a few cans of beer with my pals on the weekend) It may have also been used in other states other than those I mentioned. . Anyway, it has slowly faded in use and you never hear it any more in that context. . Just to mean a small aluminium boat

3:03. . . Fair Dinkum. . . . The closest translation would be "Real" or "genuine" or "really" or "true" As in "My mate swallowed a live fish! Fair dinkum!". . . (My mate swallowed a live fish! Really!") Or. . . "This is a fair dinkum Rolex!". . . . (This is a genuine Rolex!") Or. . . . "I'm going to France next month" Friend replies "Fair dinkum?". . . . ("Really?") Or. . . "I fair dinkum told the boss to shove the job up his arse". . . (I genuinely told my boss to shove the job up his arse) I don't know if this is fair dinkum or not. . . But the story I heard of the origins of this expression were from the goldfields of Australia in the 1800's. . There apparently was an expression that went something like "Fair trading and fair drinking". . . Meaning fair business practices and fair social interaction (??) In other words . . a person who was genuine or real in their actions and conduct. . Anyway, it is said that the Chinese immigrants who had come to find their fortune on the goldfields incorrectly pronounced "Fair drinking" as "Fair dinkum" Others say it was perhaps the Aborigines who mispronounced "Fair drinking" as "Fair dinkum" So then the other goldfield people made fun of it and copied the mispronounced version as "Fair dinkum" to mean "Real, genuine or true". . and it's this version that has stuck until today.

You'll probably notice that quite a lot of our slang is very similar to the Cockney rhyming slang in some parts. Other parts are convenience or necessity. The word "Root"... I find it rather strange that American's don't understand it... I mean, it's used in a very old rock song from the 1950's - Little Richard's 'Tutti Frutti'! My whole family is from South Australia and, according to my dad, when he and my step-mother went to Sydney, some Sydney locals thought they were English because we have a more refined accent. (Adelaide was the first non-convict settlement in Australia.)

The word "root" for having sex has been around for decades. In the US that word is used a lot to describe how someone is cheering/backing/favoring a particular sporting team. That is why when we hear someone comment at a football match that the all girls cheerleaders are "rooting for the team" we are all in stitches. Crude? to you, but somehow it entered our dictionary of aussie slang. The shortening of words is something we have been good at since the country was colonized & probably originated from cockney slang. The classic phrase is "jeet yair dew" which translates to "Did you eat? Yair, did you" Say it fast & all will be revealed.

Fair Dinkum can be used in many ways from expressing exasperation at some fools antics in front of you as you shake your head, much like saying "you've got to be kidding, seriously" Fair Dinkum can also be used to express that a certain thing that you are talking about is straight up & serious, no joke.

Also with relation to expense, instead of saying its a bit exy if somthing is expensive, you can also say "its a bit rich" There are 2 books availible from the ABC shop called lost for words and words fail me, which goes through the historical use of aussie slang from the early years till today...the books are written in the form of a story with explanations at the end of every chapter for the slang n their origin nmeanings....

After the success of Crocodile Dundee, Paul Hogan did a series of ads for the U.S. market to encourage travel to Australia. He used the phrase, "fair dinkum holiday," but I heard it as "third income holiday." I took it to mean it was a holiday for rich people, and couldn't understand why they would advertise it that way.

Love you two! Yeah nah, we don't say Facey. But we do abbreviate a lot of words and stick a Y on the end, although some times we add an O. Petrol (or service) station is shortened to servo, the liquor store (or bottle shop) is the bottle-o. Fair dinkum means genuine or real, and is quite old fashioned. It's usually only said by politicians trying to sound cool. Ripper is a bit old fashioned but I've always liked it and root is definitely crass.

A lot of our slang from the convict days was used to confuse the traps (guards) in charge and used a lot of gealic, welsh and Scottish words just to make it harder.

Gidday Joel and Lia, I am from Australia, and I had to laugh because some of those slang words aren't really used much anymore, but again, it all depends on who you are speaking to. I can think of a couple more for you to use e.g. beauty, but say it "bewty" means fantastic, or "you little bottler" means you did great. Sandwich is "sanga", bottle shop for alcohol is called the "the bottlo". I laughed when you said root, haven't heard that for ages, but it is true, another saying for sex is "getting your end in" lmao :-) For tomato sauce, I don't know how many other people call it, but I call it "blood", BBQ is a "barbie". As you both love Australia, I love England, even though I haven't been there. I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOVE the cockney accent and I think it's very sexy. I would love to live in England, and I'm thinking of moving there, but don't really know where to begin in researching it, but I have plenty of time, so I'll just take my time and look up stuff on it. Love your channel. Later aligator xx

The "nahyeh" and "yehnah" reminds me of when I was in high school (50 years ago). I had a friend called Nick, and whenever we were together, friends to come to me and say "Nick ... er ... Nat!", or to him "Nat .. er ... Nick!" Finally I would say "Look! He's 'Natnick' and I'm 'Nicknat!'" In the US, "ripper" is a hot dog, which is fried in a deep fryer until it rips open. These are common in New Jersey. I also love Australia and have been doing research to go there, hopefully within the next three or four years.
