AMERICAN REACTS | AUSTRALIA VS NEW ZEALAND SPEECH

[@ToniaElkins]

Welcome back! 💩 Today I’m reacting to Candice Molls channel for the first time! She’s Australian and her friend is from New Zealand and they are going to teach us some slang from their country. 🥰 DISCORD: discord.gg/ZSEXdnSP WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins

Morgan said “on accident” - that’s actually American grammar! Brits and Aussies always say “by accident”. We also say “different from”, never different than or different to.

for about three minutes I tried saying those words in different accents. "Sucks, Sec and (as I've never heard of Sikhs until today so I looked it up) Seeks" Next time you hit up a Kiwi, add "seeks" to your list. And Secs (as in seconds)... why am I giving you more to laugh at us for? 😅

In the Australian song Waltzing Matilda, the swaggie camped by a billabong; a billabong can also refer to a stretch of water trapped from the river, these usually occur due to previous flooding.

[@jayweb51]

By the way, waltzing matilda refers to a swagman travelling with his swag(bed roll).

[@Manawatu_Al2844]

Aussies say H, like Hatech, (Hate-ch) , Dance as those in the USA and possibly Canada say it, unlike those in the UK or NZ, or elsewhere in the English speaking world. Arvo is slang for Afternoon, Servo is slang for service station (Petrol /Gas station)

Samara is gorgeous! All your cats are! As a Scottish-born, New Zealand raised guy who has family that live in Australia, this was fun! There is always the NZ/Oz sledging and taking the piss out of each other but if anyone else has a go we always have each others backs. As far as pronunciation goes, about a decade ago I experienced the classic NZ "Pin/Pen" misunderstanding when I worked in bank's call centre in England. I was speaking to a guy named Mr Chen and he thought I was calling him Mr Chin. He got really offended that I wasn't listening to his name. I had to apologise profusely and explain that I really was saying "Mr Chen", the trouble was that my accent made it hard for him to hear. "Sweet as" is a kind of universal expression. equivalent to "cool". "On the turps" is a fairly old fashioned term for drinking alcohol.

[@ToniaElkins]

Thank you 🥰 It’s kinda funny how upset that guy got over a slight mispronunciation of his name. But you handled it very professionally. People say my name wrong almost every single time and I just correct them once. I don’t get angry at them, I just roll my eyes later and say, yet ANOTHER person who thinks Tonia (Tonya) is pronounced Tuh-nee-uh. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Not sure why the I instead of Y confuses so many people lol.

[@PHOENIXDARKFIRE5000]

Just wanna say as an Australian that McDonald’s is actually called McDonald’s here but I don’t know one single Australian that doesn’t call it Maccas I hope that this enlightens you a little bit just another comment on top of this. I’m 51 years old and when I was younger and going clubbing getting carded was considered a common term when being asked for ID when entering a nightclub the younger generation may have forgotten it but us oldies never forget. if you wanna know the origin of the word Billabong look up a very old Australian song called Waltzing Matilda. There is a line that says once a Jolly swagman camped by a billabong under the shade of a Coolabah tree and he sang and he walked and he waited till his billy boiled. You’ll come a Waltzing Matilda with me now the Billabong is a waterhole. A Coolabah tree is type of tree in Australia and a swagman is like a bushman who carries a swag and a swag is like a rolled up backpack with a sleeping bag and cooking utensils and everything that you need to survive in the wild.

[@zebedeedoodaah6454]

I am an Aussie born Maori. I reckon I have "nutted-out" the formula of how kiwis change the vowels. An A becomes an E. Happy becomes Heppy. An E becomes an A. Help becomes Halp. An I becomes invisible. Fish becomes Fsh,and chips becomes chps!. Cen I halp you with your fsh n chps?. Zebedee from Oz. 👍

"Had a big one on the turps" is also Aussie slang

@@stephenlitten1789 Oh really? Interesting! Cuz the Aussies had never heard that so I assumed it was a North American thing lol

[@dallasfrost1996]

The easiest way to know the difference between a New Zealander and an Australian is the vowel sounds. The Kiwi accents are much flatter sounding than the Aussie accents which go up in tone.

[@Jeni10]

I just googled Candice. Her YT has nothing new, which I hadn’t realised until you commented about it. Google shows photos of her looking considerably older, a couple of pregnant photos and photos of he4 with babies. She’s also listed as an actress and voice over artist, with a listing on IMDb.

[@Jeni10]

Macca’s is a nickname. To recognise that fact, McDonald’s actually changed some of their signs for a short time, but it is just a nickname we all use. The app is called “My Macca’s”.

[@coraliemoller3896]

Candice was wrong regarding the use of being on the turps is quite common in Australia, as long as l canremember; I'm from South Australia, not sure which state Candice is from(probably New South Wales).

You're correct, the way to tell Kiwi accents from and Australian point of view is that they swap vowels... head is hid.. pen is pin.. thick is theck.. accent is iccent 😊

A dinkum was a piece of gold in the gold-rush days of Australia. A fair dinkum meant it was a "real" piece of of gold!. Therefore it means "true". Tell a story and say "Fair Dinkum mate!"..-tell you no lie,that's a fair dinkum story mate!. Zebedee from Oz. 👍

[@robby1816]

Fair dinkum is usually used to ask for confirmation that what you said was the truth. eg "Fk me, I've just seen the biggest white-tail" you may reply "Fair dinkum?"

I don’t hear neever, I hear nivver, which is typical kiwi pronunciation of the e sound. They tend to swap short e for short i and vice versa.

[@trevorkrause7220]

A billlabong is a body of water in a creek or river that is mostly except during flooding still water that is a permanent or semi-permanent waterhole while the rest of the creek or river bed will usually be dry for at least one or two seasons a year. The most common way that billabongs are formed is that the channels of slow flowing rivers and creeks tend to meander over time due to silt deposition forming ever larger loops deviating from a straight water course. Eventually some of these channel loops become so large that the ends converge back on themselves allowing the main channel to form back to a shorter straighter channel and leaving the middle section of the loop semi-isolated and only receiving refill water when the river or creek floods. The isolated waterhole, sometimes called a backwater, so formed is mostly still water for most of the year and possibly deep enough and long enough to be mostly a permanent or semi-permanent waterhole usually with its own almost unique aquatic environment that can be very different from the main watercourse. Reed beds and a large variety of other aquatic plants may be present along with a thriving variety of insects and amphibians that are not so numerous in the main channel as it is often just a dry river or creek bed for most of the seasons. There are many myths and legends about billabongs as they can seem to be somewhat mysterious and mystical if encountered unexpectedly in the Australian bush. Some have legends asscoiated with them about Bunyips and other mystical creatures. Bunyips can be thought of as a bit like a Yowie or Bigfoot that dwells mainly in or near the billabong. Why a company producing mainly surfing style clothing would want to name itself after a quiet, still, inland bush waterhole is beyond my understanding but Billabong was originally formed and started in Australia. Maybe that was enough. I am sorry to say this but as an Australian growing up and being a teenager about the time of Olivia Newton John's initial rise to musical stardom, and having a younger sister that absolutely idolised her, I can see no resemblance at all between ONJ and any of those women you were reacting to.

Aussie slang is two things - it relies on both location and generation. As I get older, I’m realising that young people use slang words I’ve never heard before.

[@sociallyferal4237]

I agree with you there. Noticed it with the 'Bail' especially - as a Kiwi, it was always escape/leave context and the use of 'As' is something that has come later.

[@Jeni10]

@@sociallyferal4237 I have never regarded bail as slang because the actual word has the same meaning. In war time, if your plane was damaged, you had to bail out. If in prison, you could be bailed out, aka out on bail. So you can bail out of a date too.

In the outback swarms of flies try to land on your lips, up your nostrils, in your eyes and ears. All the moist bits. The great Aussie Salute was very common and probably noticed by newcomers to Oz, before their first experience with a mob of persistent flies. Then they copied it or swallowed a few flies. That’s why pioneers in the Australian bush hung corks on string from their bush hats so they could move their heads slightly to dislodge flies or interfere with the flight path of the marauding pests. Not as necessary now with personal bug repellents.

“Sweet as …. “ is similar to the phrase “He was like … “ where the end of the simile is omitted. It’s common in younger speakers who apparently do not know that a simile should have something to compare to the first part: “Sweet as honey, maple syrup”, or sarcastically as an opposite “Sweet as lemons or as cyanide” The widespread use of “like” sprinkled through conversations is even worse, since the word is not even remotely linked to an idea, such as “ like honey” or “ like wine “. It’s just “like, like”.

I think that these words are used by people who are under educated or lazy or both I think anyone with an education annunciates their words the majority of the time unless perhaps just being silly for the sake of it but I know what you mean though it is rare for people to speak clearly and annunciate and it is a shame
