      It's odd because every time I write it down and ask an American to pronounce it they always say it correctly. It might be a specific accent in the USA that says it Emoo..

      @Tim TheAutist Its also important to remember, that the USA was a British convict dumping ground for hundreds of years since the British first settled there. convict transportation ended in Australia by 1868 in western Australia, and a decade before in the eastern states. In all, it lasted less than 100 years. Overall it became less and less over time, and there was serious opposition by the 1830's, as it was becoming politically untenable as the majority of people were free settlers. I'm from South Australia, which was entirely a free settlement colony, with no convicts. Australia also had no slavery. More convicts went to the Americas, than ever came to Australia.

    OK, as a Yank ExPat who has called Australia home for almost 20 years, I feel very qualified to comment on this video.
    The response to Aussie Aussie Aussie is indeed built in to the Aussie, no matter where we originated. It is the first thing we immigrants are taught to say, right before someone hands us a "mystery meat" pie and a welcoming jar of Vegimite. The response is Pavlovian (look it up). "To become a citizen", I was told, "requires an operation....to have half your brain removed and replaced with a meat pie". Yeah, Aussies love to take the piss. And Ladies, never tell an Aussie bloke that you "root" for a sports team. You will regret it.
    Yes, Australia has a very high percentage of dangerous critters, but very, very few deaths from them. The estimated incidence of snakebites annually in Australia is between 3 and 18 per 100,000 with an average mortality rate of 0.03 per 100,000 per year, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The mortality rate is higher with rattlesnake bites compared to all snake bites. No rattlers in Oz.
    If you are planning a trip to Australia please skip the Big Smoke and come see the real Oz. There you will find clean air, friendly battlers, and the best tucker!
