MOST POPULAR AUSTRALIAN SLANG WORDS

Gday Mates, its time to learn the most popular Aussie slang words used in Australia. Aussie Slang is used in every day to day life down under and we find ways of shortening any word other countries use to suit ourselves. Just like the urban dictionary taking notes.
This is a Fairdinkum look at using our Australian slang terms and our kids are even confused over some of the words. Sit back and grab a Tinnie ( beer ) and enjoy our light hearted look at our slang dictionary.

[@EasyRiderGreg]

I remember my mom telling stories about riding the dunny cart, and 1 time 1 kid fell into 1 of the barrels of you know what.🤣😜 Some of those are same here in the US.👍🏻👊🏻😍 Here's some you didn't cover, "Jazz my sister, I'm all Knocked up" . That 1 got some yanks into trouble a few times. Oh and "I'm going to toe you in the jinger". Take care mate.

[@RyanIngleton]

hahahahah, i like your style Greg....lol. I missed a few of the naughty ones as i need to show im a little responsible.....lol. Thanks very much mate and that dunny cart story must be the same for most of us, my dad told me some stories of the old boys when he was younger carrying them slop buckets around.....;((((

[@nategordon]

First time viewer here. BIG LIKEY! Let's grow tugether! Like #3! Nice footage. Great video...!!! So, that's out of the way...does "chuck the shits" mean "flip out"? For us, "flip out" can be used in a positive situation or negative situation. I.E. 1) I come home and find the house nice and clean...I'd "flip out" in enthusiasm 2) I come home and my buddy is plowing his wife on the Kitchen counter...I'd "flip out" in disgust (and encouragement). Ear bashing is the same as "talking someone's ear off", yeah?

[@RyanIngleton]

😆😆😆 Thankyou Nate for visiting, Yes That means the same as over here as we have many meanings for every word we use over here. It’s like we do not have a large vocabulary so our word remains the same however our Tone 🎼 differs somewhat. Thanks so much for being part of the 18.6% club mate it’s truely unique 😆😆

Very entertaining and informative. We also use few of these slangs . And, its good to see Noah laughing and well 😊

😆😆😆 The kids are a little unpredictable to say the least 🤦‍♂️. We thought we would just surprise them and keep it real. Noah is going well and he’s such a polite kid he was worried his friends would here his answer in the phone behind him. Thanks as always for your support 😊👍

[@montanadrone1236]

Boy it looks like you had fun making this video 😂 Your videos keep getting better and better, well done Ryan. I agree with you that David is an Old Cobber. Very funny and great editing. I knew some of these terms, but there were quite a few I had never heard of. It makes you wonder how these things got started in the first place. In America all of the different states seem to have their own slang and accent. When I moved up here I had to learn some different lingo. Anyways fantastic job as always 👍 I'm happy to see Noah up and going as well. Take care of that wonderful family you have.

[@RyanIngleton]

Jeremy I have to say mate we did have a lot of fun making this video. It was good not to pre warn the kids if the questions to ensure the answers were real. We laughed our heads off making this and I had to leave a fair few out as they may have been considered rude. 😆😆

It helps to know what you’re saying. A friend of mine rented a car when he went to visit Australia and when he took the car back he told them he topped it off around the corner. He could tell by the look on their face and their snickers that it didn’t mean filled up the gas tank to them. Have a great day and be safe out there!
