Peppers are from the genus _Capsicum._
@Angry Capsicum
I don't know what that means.
Actually, “the whole nine yards” comes from military terms. On WW2 american fighter planes, the belts of ammo for the guns were roughly 9 yards long.
“The whole nine yards." - one belt of ammunition from WW2.
Stephen Kuhn Mate, I have 2 questions;
1. Is this true? I’ve always just assumed it had something to do with American Football (I’m an Aussie) but never looked it up. If the belts were actually 9 yards (seems super-long), then it makes sense, and frankly, makes the saying a little cooler.
2. I notice your last name is suspiciously similar to Tristan’s. Coinkidink?
Yeah the 9 yards is the belt of a wing mounted machine gun. To give the whole 9 yards is to shoot all your ammo. Fun fact- common phrase in the UK as well
@@MelbourneMatty it's equal to a100 round belt of 50 calibre ammunition, yep it's true.
Was going to post this comment 😂😂😂
This does not seem to be the case, as it predates the first world war. Indeed, there are also a few references to 'the whole six yards' in the 10s/20s. There are many, many theories, and some believe the number was chosen as a reference to 'to the the nines' (i.e., perfection, itself a reference to the Muses)
7:55 I believe “the whole nine yards” comes from war/military (probs WWII). The [certain type of] gunners had belts of ammunition. “He has the whole nine yards [of ammo]”, which obviously translates into the slang meaning of “going all out”
This is a feat video, but I'm mostly concentrating on the Christmas tree and the dog
haha we filmed it back in December, right after Christmas
I'm concentrating on Tristan haha
For the record, killing one bird with two stones is waaaaaay more effective.
Killing one stone with two birds
@@taylormatthews6086 Getting two birds stoned at once.
@@scunts lol
dont pick a uni student to explain aussie slang
Is being called a bogan rude?
@@MAILLADY2010 not rlly it just means ur a streryotipical aussie
@@MAILLADY2010 what? i dont understand what u just said.. but im FROM australia
@@michaelcerafr Forget what I wrote ... all of the Australians I have ever met were happy, fun loving pranksters. That is what I personally love about Australians in general.
I once ordered a hamburger with everything and a pint ... oh, I'm thinking ... bun, hamburger, cheese, lettuce, tomato. I got ... four pieces of heavy buttered bread, three hamburger patties, three fried eggs (I love my hamburgers this way now), cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. It was 30cm tall.
People snickering/laughing, whispering, what's she going to do?
I said, "Wow! This is fantastic! Who is going to help me eat this? Were is my pint"? We all ate and it was a good day.
That was about 4 hours of a three week visit of your country.
Best 3 weeks of my life. ❤
@@MAILLADY2010 im happy that u enjoyed ur experience! Hope ur able to come again after covid!!!
Just found out the "whole 9 yards" has no reference to football. It has to do with combat planes in WW2 expending all of their chains of bullets which were 27 feet in length, hence 9 yards.
Did she grow up under a rock? Literally all of the so called American slang is used here in Australia, like all the time...
She's young
The whole 9 yards comes from Scotland. It took 9 yards of fabric to make a great kilt.
in ww2 the 5 cal machine guns in an american fighter planes, had their ammunition on belts,, each belt was 9 yards long,, it was typical to have 6 of these 3 on each wing,, when the pilot squeezed the trigger he had to be careful to only pull off small bursts,, or he would be out of ammo in a few seconds. squeezing and holding the trigger until ammo was exhausted was referred to as giving them the whole 9 yards. so giving something all you have,, can be referred to as,, the whole 9 yards.
I had no idea. Thanks for the history on that!! Love it
I've never heard "Shooting the Breeze" but I've heard of "Shooting the Shit"
We say Shooting the Breeze and Pass the Buck in Australia, have done so for decades.
Don't know where she's been living. Can't believe she has never heard of passing the buck. That is such a common phrase in Australia and has been for generations. Also shooting the breeze is used in Australia also. So is browny points used here a lot.
Another cool vid... I feel like you went easy on her with pretty easy well known slang words, and phrases. We have heard most of them in movies. I remember the first time I heard an American say "hottie" (c.2002) I thought they were talking about a hot water bottle or something. "Hella" is another one Australians might not know.
Really? I thought us Californians hella overused the term 'hella' lol
Postie😂😂 ! In INDIA, punjabis call that to a drug addict.
The dog be like 🤣
He signed his signature big so that the British king could read it.
go the whole nine yard refers to the length of the ammo belt in a ww2 fighter plane
Bandit - short from Spanish - "Bandito" a thief. Therefore: "make out like a bandit" - means got away with whatever, at no cost - benefited for free.
Tristan is too adorable! Love your videos dude. Have a great weekend :)
Woop woop is probably my favourite Aussie slang word
What?? That is so nothing
@@piglos what? You don’t make much sense.
“Lollipop lady
Lollipop lady
Die die die”
-Me and me mates on the way to school
He should do a British street slang (roadmen) vs American slang
Most of the American slang is well know here in Australia.i don't understand why she didn't know them
Nobody calls a capsicum "bell peppers".
Capsicum is the actual name. Bell Peppers is slang.
Are you sure she is Ozzie?
. Yeah, just a really typical dumb millennial that couldn't even change a tyre.
@@terencemcgeown2358 we are surrounded
Mate I’m a fair go Aussie n I could tell ya words you never heard. I’ve worked on a farm, been in the military n traveled oz 3 times. Hit me up
I was hoping she might say "as dry as a dead dingoes donga" - but she might have been a bit young to know that one!! LOL
@@jameswalker68
How about "septic" or "flat out like a lizard drinking"
@@hodaka1000 Haha...how could I have forgotten those?!
Gronk
Whole nine yard is a military term the gun rail in a ww2 airplane was nine yard long....give them the whole nine yards.... everything you’ve got
I should’ve looked at other comments before posting mine 😅. Yours is more accurate as well 😑 haha
This was fun, but time to kick rocks.
Do either of you know what a thunder box, water the horse, drain the lizard or dunny means? Or the meaning for sheila and bird?
I know the last 4. Not the first 2
The sad thing is i was born an raised in Pennsylvania and i only knew a few words he said (buggin, od, brownie points) and i knew most of the other words she said smh
He's cute. I've got another Aussie slang word: gobby. As in, "I would like to give Tristan a gobby"
how did she miss the classic: well im not here to f**k spiders = well thats the point or no sh*t
Yeap, they didn’t even introduce the little guy.
There was an Australian LGBTQ friendly movie in the ‘90s called Welcome to Woop Woop
Many of those americanisms are super common here and in Britain, for example “going postal” is a common saying. You used the wrong Aussie :)
The whole 9 yards. Refers to a belt of ammunition for a machine gun.
To give an enemy the whole 9 yards means to shoot until you run out of bullets. Therefore it means "to give your all".
Have either of you ever been out in the daytime?
Buggin means annoying in my opinion like damn he was buggin
Was asked by a co-worker, from India, why do aussies say "yeah, no". Had to explain that yeah is - I hear your question, no- being the answer to that, lol. Made me realise how non-aussie speaking people find it hard to understand aussies. I think because we`re so layed back, we just get a tad lazy with the english language, which is why we end a lot of words in "ie". Funny how we`re still understood!
By the way, while most Americans call 'soda pop' just "soda", those of us from the midwest US (think central Ohio through east Iowa, Michican down almost to the Ohio river) call them "pop". When I moved to North Carolina from Indiana and ordered pop, noone knew what I was talking about. I still can't bring myself to call it soda, so I just stopped drinking the stuff and adopted iced tea or lemonade instead. All of that of course is called "soft drinks" in a bar, unless you order a "hard tea" or "hard lemonade".
And when you expell gas down below, I grew up calling is "passing wind". By college the slang for it was "cutting the cheeze".
I’ve heard “cutting cheese” and “passing wind” before. And yeah, I went to college in the Midwest found heard people saying pop. I found it quite odd
@@TristanKuhn I'm drinking a pop right now. 🤣
I love these videos Tristan. Prepping me for my trip to Australia.🇦🇺
Also you are super cute! 😍
Wow this Australian girl has no idea !! OD is common reference
A bolt of material (cloth) at one time was only 9 yards.
9 yards was also the usual length of the belts of ammunition for US fighter planes in WWII, so "Going the full nine yards" was used to describe going full tilt in combat and running out of ammo.
Love it!
Love you!! @marc
Bro I'm an American and I don't know half the "american" slang
Pass the buck . She was right blame responsibility?? Most of yours we know
❤ for woop woop
The chemical that makes peppers is capsaicin...that’s probably where they got capsicum, even though bell peppers are at the bottom of the Scoville scale. Hehe.
I remember reading that a man once complained that he told his wife to buy enough fabric to make 3 shirts, but instead of making 3 regular sized shirts with the fabric, she used the whole 9 yards to make 1 big shirt.
Cassie & Daisy we’re both a delight! As always, you’re making friends with really good peeps. Happy belated Valentines Day from Honolulu! 😘😘🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you! I never knew the chemical that made pepper was called capsaicin. That makes so much sense now!
Tristan Kuhn Crap, I mistyped...sorta. It’s the chemical that makes peppers HOT! LOL. When you drink milk, which contains the protein Casein, the casein deactivates the capsaicin...and that’s why mill quells the “heat” from the peppers.
@@SeanShimamoto Capsicum is the Genus for All Peppers. They call it Capsicum because "Peppers" are all members of the Capsicum Genus
The fact she “represented” Australia is sad.
Going postal, how do you not know. Think a dude needed to answer that
I know John Hancock from Space Jam
Great movie
Australia has like slang that is a version of the word but Americans make the slang completely different to the meaning
I was waiting for her to say 'Seppo' as an Aussie slang word!
Seppo, short for Septic Tank, rhymes with 'Yank'
It's rhyming slang and they're "full of shit" which I always thought it was hilarious is a smart arse way
American Slang to add to this one:
"Mob" (Additionally, to make it simultaneously harder to guess on its own and easier to guess in a sentence, you could use "Mob Cutty" aka "Mob up to the Cuts")
"Schwizzled"
"Barge"
"Bammer"
"Chapped"
"Dank"
"Eggy"
"Kerk"
"Schralp"
"Yicked"
There are good American slang words. I know what they all mean besides the first and last two
As for "schwizzled", back in the 1920's and '30's people used "schwizzle sticks" to stir their tea or othe drink -- a flavored hard sugar stick -- both to stir up any settled bits and to sweeten their drink, honey flavored being the most common. It took on the meaning of getting sweet-talked into and mixed up in a scam.
No 9 yards is the length of a bullet chain on a machine gun so the phrase was “ give em the whole 9 yards” like fire all the rounds. Nothing to do with football
AUSSIE
That's out woop woop
Apparently "the whole 9 yards" comes from a Taylor's term, meaning that it took 9 yards of material to make a suit. Meaning you used everything to get the job done.
damn, tristan is buffed!!
Thanks haha
Omg I knew the going postal! I think some things are generational.
She's a sweetie 🇦🇺
Oh yes she is🇦🇺
fast as a lizard drinking
Well obviously I watch way too many movies or something but I knew pretty all of your American words/sayings
Rippa = Great
Drongo = Idiot
Bunji = Mate
Chesse n Kisses = Missus = Partner
Dog n Bone = Phone
Being an old Aussie I knew every reference, Australian and American. Old Australian and American slang is more interesting.
This is why you gotta speak to people from the country if you want the "true Aussie" experience. No matter where you are in the world the urban areas are way more toned down
This woman is clueless, as an Aussie, we use all those American terms
Bogan ... rude? What does it mean?
Origins of "the whole 9 yards" just makes it even more american. And it has nothing to do with football though I can see why a jock would go there with it.
During the world wars american machine guns used belts of ammo that were 9 yards long. So you'd literally give your enemy everything you have, the whole 9 yards of it. Veterans came home and the expression stuck.
Some of these American ones I knew.
Theres a lot more regionally specific slang in America, whereas Australia has more nationwide slang
It's daisy the doggo!
Oi you got a durry?
If that sheila didn't know every septic term you used she mustn't be the full quid
For woop woop we would say B.F.E.
good video
Thank you!
Comment if u know what gronk means 😂
I would have taken the opportunity to say that for some reason, we say sizzors paper rock, so backwards for Americans.
Interesting. I didn’t know that
@@TristanKuhn To be honest there's no real consistency with it, we'll say whatever order.
(:♡
😀 ♡♡♡♡♡
So woop woop in American slang = bumblef*ck (or bumf*ck), or out in the boonies.
My aunt from England used to say "Oh god you live out past Timbuktu!". Another one is "the sticks".
The more bang for your buck and the full 9 yards makes sense. But the other american 1s don't make sense ...
The issue is to do a proper American Vs anyone you would need a spread of like 6 different Americans from all over LOL
bruh
Capsicum because the chemical that gives it its flavour is called Capsaicin.
She is so charming
I reckon ya will........ ya missed it
New Zealanders can't understand Aussie slang. Aussies came up with "klicks", which the Americans use all the time now - Kiwis never.
Kiwis understand American sayings better like "pass the buck". We say that all the time.
Haha that’s funny. Wouldn’t have guessed that
Yep. The Aussies first used in the Vietnam War (US slang is Nam). Klicks means kilometres (you say kilometers). The cool Hollywood guys (mainly Gene Hackman) couldn't stop saying it.
Sometimes Aussies annoy the shit out of me. I'm as Aussie as it gets but I grew up with the notion of giving everyone a fair go. It was a core value for all us old school Aussies. The girl on the video did a great job and gave it a red hot go.. of anyone thinks she wasn't any good ,how about you put your money were your mouth is snd make a video yourself. Better still stop being a bloody whinger and just enjoy the video. You of course have the option of watching something else. The modern generation has no idea on just how easy they have it.
I've never heard some of these Australian slang and I have been living here for 40 years lol
Help if had an Aussie with brains
In the sticks is opposite the city... not whoop whoop get it right girl
Where did you even find this girl? Most of your American Slang is easy to guess or we’ve heard it in movies or tv plenty before. It’s like she lives in a cave
