I was at the bottle-o on Australia Day buying a slab to take to my mate’s barbie and I heard a young kid ask his dad if they could buy a couple of stubbie holders (they were emblazoned with the Aussie flag). His dad’s reply was priceless - ‘You don’t buy stubbie holders, son. You accumulate them.’

On a cruise once upon a time, and was filled with Americans. We mentioned that we didn't attend the floor show because it was "chockas". Puzzled look on faces - so we explained that it was chock-a-block. Still puzzled looks. You Know - not enough room to swing a cat. Still puzzled looks. Gee that was a fun cruise, taking the piss. Oh, that's another one !!

I loved this video so much that I thought I'd share my first experiences with the Australian English. I've been living in Australia for nearly 20 years now and I'm still learning the Aussie slang. Every time I thought I've heard them all, there'd be a another popped in that I haven't heard of before. My background is I'm a polyglot, I speak five languages from my home country, SI, and that includes English as it is the official language of SI but also it's the only language we are taught at school and we're taught the British English as SI was a British Protectorate. I had English teachers from England at secondary school. Funny thing, I thought I knew English when I moved to Australia but when I started interacting with the people, oh my, it was a total nightmare for me; firstly the Australian accent is a very confusing accent to someone who is not familiar with it and secondly, the Australian slang...might as well a language on its own. I got to be honest, I was so confused and I used to ask people to repeat themselves all the time to the point where I was so embarrassed about myself asking all the time. I came to conclusion that Australians aren't speaking English but that they're speaking a language of their own called Australian. To my Australian husband's amusement he used to tell people, "Hey, my wife thinks we speak Strayan not English" and they'd laugh. Oh the Australian humour; I learned that too (Australians have a great sense of humour). But that was then, now I'm embarrassing the Australian English, I find it fascinating. Languages always fascinate me. Now that I'm familiar with the Australian English, I'm currently learning French, Spanish and German. Oh, yeah, nothing's going to stop me from learning. Thank you, mmmEnglish. 🙂👍

Oh, how well i understand this. In the late 1990's, I spent a week aboard HM Bark Endeavour, a replica of the first vessel Captain Cook used to sail to the South Pacific. The crew consisted of Australians and Americans with a sprinkling of Irish, Scots and Brits thrown in. Most of the jokes and slang went right over the American's heads. What an experience!
