Dipthong is what Aussies do when testing the water temperature at the beach.

Nobody in Australia would lower themselves to drink Fosters, we export it to the world as a joke.

"Far out" is also quite the popular slang here. Its like another way saying "omg"

An linguistics professor was lecturing his class the other day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. However, in some languages, such as Russian, a double negative remains a negative. But there isn't a single language, not one, in which a double positive can express a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, in a broad Aussie accent, "Yeah, right."

Firstly, as an Aussie I'm amazed at how accurate you are. The only thing I would like to add is that Australian's generally love irony, and a lot of the expressions you listed are actually from previous generations. So expressions like Sheila, Strewth and Fair Dinkum might be still used, I use them myself in some conversations, but mostly with an ironic twist. Some of these expressions have been re-claimed in recent years by comedians and movies (Roy and H.G.Nelson and Barry Humphries who famously added a few of his own inventions) . They find their way onto television and get re-born with younger generations. The thing about the fourth Aussie accent is true but pretty recent. There are lots of pronunciations coming into everyday speech from recent waves of immigration from Arabic, Polynesian, East Asian and African immigration. Love ya work.

My favorite aussie slang is 'Cop Shop' - because everytime I use it outside of Australia, without realising I'm using it - I get SO MANY confused looks. It means police station.

What a great video. Completely accurate as far as I could tell, and with a few bits and pieces I didn't know about, like the origins of "hard yakka" and "fair dinkum". Here's a Dad's Army joke for you: An English officer approaches a young Australian soldier who's just arrived on the Western Front in WW1. He says: "Young man, have you come here to die?" And the Aussie soldier says: "No sir, I came here yesterdie"...

As an Australian when we want to say something is relatively OK, we say it´s "not bad". When something is good, we say "not too bad". When something is really good, we say "not too bad at all". This comes from the national tendency of not praising things directly.

"Shoulda coulda woulda" is one of my favourites. It is an expression meaning, more or less, "I wish I had done that, but there's nothing that can be done about it now, so oh well.", in other words: "What's done is done." I learnt it when I was very young and I still use it to this day.

It is so frustrating when Americans and other foreign people say "Throw a shrimp on the barbie" to imitate us because we do NOT say shrimp in Australia, we say 'prawn'.

"She'll be alright" is actually : "She'll be right."

The first Aussie language break down that doesn’t sound like shit, even got an Aussie or someone who is great at the accent to speak it, I’m genuinely impressed and I never thought I would sit through an 11 minute video about a language that I speak, learn something and also enjoy it. 😂 cheers mate.

As an Australian I endorse this presentation. Couldn’t find fault even though it was done by a Canadian. Lol! We are kindred folk so know I’m ‘takin’ the piss.
