Thong/flip flops are jandals here in New Zealand. Thongs are those undies Bottas has on.... 😆 It's Weetbix here in NZ too, seeing as Sanitarium are an Aussie company.
@@zabaleta66 This style of footwear has been worn by people of many cultures throughout the world, originating as early as the ancient Egyptians in 1500 BC. In the United States the modern flip-flop may have had its design taken from the traditional Japanese zōri, after World War II as soldiers brought them back from Japan.
I’m very unimpressed by Oscar that he didn’t expand on the goon bag with the name of the drinking game where you put a bag of goon on a Hills hoist (an Aussie spinnable clothes line) and spin it around until it stops and the person it stops by has to drink directly from the goon. The game is obviously called…. Goon of Fortune.
Right! When I saw "WeetaBix" I was so confused because we call it Weet-bix (I'm also from South Africa)😂 and I genuinely thought the Brits call it that as well🙈
DONK comes from Donkey, originating early on from the development of internal combustion engines. Donkeys did a lot of the "grunt" work in farming and industry, early engines, not necessarily in cars, were nick named donkeys for that reason and shortened to Donk. Might even be of US origin rather that Brit or Aussie.
weetbix can only be eaten 2 ways. 3 bars in cold milk with a bunch of fruit, usually berries or bananas. Or a whole bowls worth, drowned in milk with sugar, maybe some honey, and warmed like oats
I have to say, the U-Turn/Uey one intrigues me! In New England, or specifically my state within New England, we say Uey for the most part. But we say "bang a uey" rather than "chuck a uey"
Pom does not equal Brit. Pom equals Englishman. He literally said it. "We beat the Poms in cricket." Britain doesn't have a national cricket team. England does. (Look, this gets a bit tricky since Welsh and English players play under the England and Wales Cricket Board, no one ever refers to the team as England and Wales, though. It's always just England). England and Wales DO have separate national rugby teams, though. And in that case, if you ever hear someone say, "We beat the Poms", they are referring to England. You won't hear them saying that about Wales, Scotland or Ireland (which is another complicated kettle of fish).
Weetbix and weetabix are slightly different. The pommy one is sweeter, the Aussie one is pure wheat and not sweet. We add sugar or fruit to sweeten it. Microwave? Definitely. Add milk, then zap. Great for winter
I will change everyone’s mind about microwave weetbix. Step 1: toast with butter and vegemite Step 2: add a slice of cheese to said toast Step 3: pour milk over weetbix and microwave Step 4: mix weetbix into a paste Step 5: apply weetbix paste to toast Step 6: fold toast in half to create a vegemite weetbix and cheese toast taco This was my daily breakfast nearly my entire child hood
Straight off the bat wrong. Microwaved weet bix in winter with honey and banana or even just some sugar on top is awesome. Been eating that since I was a kid and I’m as Aussie as they come.
I just commented about how in Hawaii we use “Uey” & “Flip a bitch” equally. Then scrolled until I found another flip a bitch. 😂 Guess I got a lil self conscious I was the only one lol
You proposed a question in the video thumbnail, It's a thong. Because a thong originally is a thin piece of string or leather used to hold something in place. So the name "Thong" for the rubber sandal image comes from the bifurcated rubber strap that holds the rubber sole on your foot.
I'm willing to bet Donk is a shortening of Donkey. Though I don't know why that refers to engines, since they are measured in horsepower... Donkeypower doesn't have quite the same ring to it.
Ok, they're NOT called "flip flops" or "thongs", as every Kiwi knows their true and proper name is "jandals". Pom comes from "Prisoner Of Mother England", pom was originally POME. We use the term too. Weet-Bix does not have an "A" in it in Australia and NZ. Donk is an old term for a car engine. I think it was shortened from donkey, because the engine works like a mule. Just guessing.
@@ekspatriat Originally yes. But it became any Brit who travelled to Australia. Then any Brit. And because of our close relationship with Australia we called all Brits that too.
I am Australian and I can't recall hearing the term 'donk' for an engine. However, I had a think and perhaps it's short for 'donkey', similar to horse or horsepower to describe the power of a car. Just a funny word to describe horse power for a low powered car perhaps or making fun of someone's engine.
Hilarious as Speedo is an Australian company and it’s like calling tissues Kleenex or pens Biros when the brand name can be replaced for the item name.
Can be embarrassing though - many years ago on arriving in England, my Aussie wife went to the stationary shop and asked for some Durex (aka sticky clear tape brand name in Australia) - she was told she should try the chemist shop.
As a South African, If anyone cares... we would say: 1) Flip-Flops or Slops or Slip-Slops 2) Speedos but also refer to them as budgies smugglers for fun 3) Never had before. I'd say we consider "Fairycake" to be like Chiffon cake? 4) Boxed Wine used to ONLY be cheap wine or PapSak. Papsak is loosely translated into a flat bag, I guess. In the past 5 years or so, many middle-range quality wines. Typically screwcaps or quaffable wines which you don't care about the vintage therefore no need for a cork, have begun selling "Wine in Boxes" at a slightly lower cost as they are more eco-friendly and use recyclable inners and outers which require less water to recycle than glass does. So good for the environment, lasts longer, marginally cheaper but still of the same standard as their bottled wines. 5) U-Turn, except as far as I can recall ours rarely have the "allowed to" and typically have a line across symbolising NO U-Turns, which to a South African means "TURN Really Fast!". Any other countries have a saying for Robots (Traffic Lights) "Green means GO, Yellow (Amber) means Go Faster and Red means either stop if peak traffic...or at night hover or go slowly.". We do occasionally say "Make a quick make a U'ey or just turn around here, at a prohibited risky interaction. So it's interesting that Eng and Aus terms are often both used here. 6) Poms or many Afrikaans people call them Souties, especially if they live in South Africa. As they have one foot in England and one foot in South Africa with their um male third appendage being in the (sout/salt) salty sea. 7) Just an engine if you're standing near the car or want the petrol attendant to check the engine's oil and water.
@@ekspatriat en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_English Perhaps I should have said varient rather than distinct, however Australian English is a thing. There used to be an option for setting it as the default language in Windows.
Good Bag, well a Flagon is shortened to a Goon and that bag holds about the same as a Flagon/Goon, so a Goon bag. Obvious to any Aussie, well done Oscar!!
@@jameswyatt4443 Really? So, when we've beaten the Welsh or Scots or even the British and Irish Lions in rugby, you've actually heard the phrase, "We beat the Poms on Saturday"? Or have you only ever heard it used for England?
And then there are us Hungarians who call flip flops “papucs”, boxed wine simply “bor” and etc.😂😂 We have that one languages, that unlike anything else😅🇭🇺
The underwear was named after a thing - thong - which is a shape. A flip-flop is a thong. The thong being the part you put between your toes. So it would seem that Australians speak better English than the English.
thank you oscar for having fun with us! i’ve never microwaved my weetabix or weet-bix before and I don’t plan on doing so 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me neither wouldn't Weetabix to mush if you microwave them 😂
Back when I used to live in a cooler climate here in Aus, I would always microwave the milk first before I added the weetbix, during the winters
To have weetabix warm, just add a little warm water to warm and soften them, before you add the milk ❤️
Do it every morning beautiful cheers ✌

The rubber thong (aka flip flop) was invented by Dunlop and patented in Australia in the mid 1960's.
I did not know that
Thong/flip flops are jandals here in New Zealand. Thongs are those undies Bottas has on.... 😆

In the 1960’s in America we called the flip flops , thongs. “Zoories”
Zori are japanese thong sandals

Step 1: toast with butter and vegemite
Step 2: add a slice of cheese to said toast

Goon actually comes from 2litre bottled cheap wine. The bottles were called Flagons
An empty goon bag is a readymade pillow for sleeping on the beach after you have consumed said contents!
