Esky is original a brand name that stuck the same as ugg is a brand name that has stuck to that type of boot. Ute is the short word for utility - as in utility truck these are decades old words even the word stubby would not be found in other countries.
A_Puntato It's Summer time and I am in my singlet, shorts and thongs Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way, Christmas in Australia on a scorching summers day, Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Christmas time is beaut !, Oh what fun it is to ride in a rusty Holden Ute.
I was in Cambodia a while ago and we got chatting with a Tuk tuk driver with Aussie stuff all over his bike and cart, he had fair dinkum written on it and said he loves Australians because they are all so nice but he doesn’t know what it means so we had to explain it to him😂
Wow. I didn't even know esky was a slang. I thought it was an actual word 😂. Edit: Just finished the video. I legit thought half these slangs were actual words 🤔. And you forgot the one slang that every Australian knows, Maccas 😆
Its a matter of perspective. Some are slang, some started as slang and are now official words. There are Australian dictionaries like Macquarie which contain words that you wouldn't find in the Oxford dictionary for example.
A Ute or "utility" is an australian invention. In a letter to Ford Australia's then-boss, Hubert French in 1933, from the wife of a Gippsland farmer asking why it was that Ford didn't offer its customers a vehicle that would take them to church on Sunday and then cart the pigs to market on Monday. The 'coupe-utility' that Ford Australia developed in 1933 not only formed the basis of every locally-made ute, it was also the granddaddy of every utility sold anywhere in the world, including the Aussie ute's North American cousin, the pick-up truck.
Had to stop the video when they didn't know what servo or Arvo was legit I thought that these words where used in everyday life and there actuall words that even other countries use but guess not.i didn't even know an esky was an Australian word get Donald trump to try and do aussieeeee slang😂😂😂
Hi, I really enjoyed this lovely video :) However, a lot of these words are Eastern States words, togs in WA are bathers, servo is a garage or petrol station (but a person in WA would know what a servo was, we just don't use it), bottle-o is a liquor store. On another note, Esky was a brand and is used the same way as every vacuum cleaner in the UK is a Hoover and ute is short for utility vehicle.
I’m from WA and everyone I know uses servo, and a lot of the older people I know say togs or cossies. Genuinely didn’t know that these weren’t used in other countries though 😂

Try saying the name of these cities in Hungary: Miskolc, Debrecen (this is my home town ^^), Szeged, Eger, Győr, Füzesabony. ;) You should also look them up on the map and perhaps find out why they are important (except for the last one, that's just a smaller town, it's not so famous, other than it has an interesting and beautiful name in my opinion) and tell us what you have learnt. ;) Bonus question: Which city is the biggest one in Hungary after Budapest both area and populationwise? ;)
Some of these are state and city specific. People forget since Australia is a country slang will change city to city and state to state. Togs is a QLD thing (I didn't know that one either, until I looked online). Eg Eshay/HK started as a very Sydney thing so I know slang words like that, since I live in Sydney.
so for those interested in where/how we came about the woods bottle-o bottle shop, or op chockers, comes from chock o block rhyming slang for filled to the top esky, is a brand name, like some people will use klenex for tissues fair dinkum, comes from dinky die, which I knows is another twisted rhyming slang servo, comes for service station akin to the same shortening as bottle-o she'll be right as explained, stubby holder comes from the beer bottle types, the stubbie being a short and squat looking bottle, and long necks and tallies being the other main styles, and the stubbie was a common over the counter beer, and a way to keep it cold (something important with the heavy larger style that was once the mainstay of beer here) tog, so this differs greatly state by state, swimmers, cozzie, bathers, all are used, cark it, casket as in once dead, you're next home is a casket woop woop was a place, and it was a fair way out, much like the black stump (there was a black stump, is was was a marker in a town, that town was a long way from the major towns, and beyond that, no a lot, so we also use, beyond the black stump, out back of woop woop, etc (as a side note, "down the road" in aussie slang can mean anything from 10 meters, to 1000kms, and often context is implied, and never given) ute is utility, or something that is the utility version of a family based car, (so, normal looking car at the front, the front seating area will be the same as a car, but a truck like tray at the back) u-ey, is easy

Yeah chuck a uyee I left my avo at the bottle o this arvo but I gotta check my rego cos if I go down to the servo the coppers might fine me so I'm just gonna go home to my misses after I have a smoko yeah nah see ya mate
I have this project at school to do a skit/play that uses an Aussie accent and slang, and I’ve noticed that I use an Aussie accent and slang in text without realizing it. I was actually really surprised and happy.
Stop giving random points to sarah i feel so bad for tanbay but he got literally all 4 last ones, but Laura started hogging the answers even though he said "workers" to classify all four of them first. And he said u-turn, whereas she just made a U with her hand like wtf. Dogging out the bois
I live in western Sydney and no one uses slang and people say cooler box instead of esky and no one says arvo the only slang I can think of is maccas which we use
I'm Auzzie and i saw the words and commented them as soon as i saw them cuz... idk i wanna feel special XD ;-; 1.-Bottle-O- yup bottle shop like for alcohol 2.- Chockers- MMmmmmmmmmmm..... IDK XD 3.-Esky- Yup a movable little box you can keep things cool in 4.-Fair Dinkum- yeah like "woah" Omg" ...."crikey" .... rip steve 5.-servo- service station, gas station, petrol station 6.-she'll be right- nah shes fine 7.-stubbie holder- beer holder 7 and a half.-Lamington- little cake thing with coconut (num num) 8.-togs- ummmm ive heard it some where cant remember thoooooo 9.-cark it- ummm idk again 10.-woop woop- idkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk 11.-ute- yeah easy, its a car with an open sorta boot idk how to explain the back 12.-u-ey- yeah u turn 8 and a half out of 12 .... i was hoping she would do something like (idk how to spell this but) bikkie (bick-ie)
I call the Bottle shop - The grog shop. Chockers as in Chocker block full. It's always a good idea to have an Esky in case the flamin' fridge breaks down; which has happened to me.
Traditionally, a 'bottle-oh' was a guy who made his living by collecting empty bottles for sale for recycling. It was a pretty thin living, so the slang term for being really down the social pecking order was the guy under the bottle-oh: the bottle-oh's rousabout. The original Esky had a logo of an Eskimo on it, and it was clear the name was short for Eskimo. 'Fair dinkum' means real or genuine. "The fair dinkum article." Names for swimwear vary by location. Togs, bathers, swimmers and even the cossie. 'Togs' can also mean clothes in general. 'Cark it' comes from carcass. Note also the versatile "had the Richard." 'Ute' comes from 'utility vehicle.'
Togs is a regional thing. I'm in WA and we call them bathers, I'm fairly sure there's other states that do this too. Most people here don't know what "togs" are lol. Fun fact: in WA the nature strip outside the front of your house is called a verge (they call it this in the UK too). We're the only state that calls it that.
1: that store you buy liquor from 2: i honestly haven't heard that 3: that thing you use to keep drinks cool 4: i think i'm not australian anymore 5: petrol station 6: really? is this even slang? 7: bottle holder thing to keep your hands from freezing 8: i haven't heard this before 9: i have heard this before 10: too far for u 11: holdens - or those small puckup trucks 12: u-turn 13: tradesman? garbageboiis, electrician, brick layers
So, in this video we are trying to guess Australian Slang Words! Special thanks to bit.ly/Flying-The-Nest for being part of this video! ► Subscribe: bit.ly/TravellingWeasels
Travelling Weasels It was funny video :) I think I could not reach more points than Tanbay. I'd like to ask You what is the origin of "Tanbay"? Is it a forename? IMHO He worth a point (or egal) for answer regarding "Servo" ... 😀
I had no idea esky was was a slang word. I thought that was what they were called. I use all these words except "Fair dinkum". I've never really used that. But I sure have heard of it.
In the US it's just a cooler but I think they call the coolers they transport organs in eskys. Also a servo is a type of motor. Another one, instead of woop woop we say Timbuktu, which I think is a place in India but here it means in the middle of nowhere.
The Esky was created by Malley's, a Sydney refrigeration business. Some historians have credited Malley's with the invention of the portable ice cooler.[1] According to the company, the Esky was "recognised as the first official portable cooler in the world."[2] The company's own figures claim that by 1960, 500,000 Australian households owned one (in a country of approximately 10 million).
"stubby holder" a stubby holder is a fabric type of object that you put a can or small bottle of drink into and it is designed to keep your drink cold and stops your hands from becoming cold.
I'm in Victoria and "woopdedo" has always been a reply when someone tries to point out that you stuffed up. Except it usually is said like "woopdef***ingdo"
Hey guys. I’m an Aussie here. When you said Woop Woop isn’t a town at 8:22 it actually is. Colloquially, Woop Woop means the middle of nowhere. It’s defined as "a remote and supposedly backward rural town or district." Woop Woop was a mill town southeast of Perth Western Australia. that came into existence in 1925, before being abandoned and sold for scrap in 1984. So now it really is in the middle of nowhere.
Aussies dont call it straya, thats just something people came up with from other lands when trying to understand us, We tend to refer to it more as Oz or its full name (we just talk to quick so they only pick up the "straya" part)
The Esky was created by Malley's, a Sydney refrigeration business. Some historians have credited Malley's with the invention of the portable ice cooler. Tis a brand.
Im American, and so far...um....wtf...but have to start using these slangs here, not sure they will go well, but I will get these going, Viral style on twitter, lmfao!
Stubbie holder : in usa we call them koozies or beer koozies. or just one would be a koozy. (Not sure of spelling either.) I think that's from a possible brand name, I'm not sure. Some also just call them can coolers or soda sleeves or pop coat (much older use, I haven't heard it used in recent times), there's lots of different slang used in usa as with many countries. There may be other terms for this I'm not aware of, or I just don't recall. We don't use them too often, when I do see people using them is more often for beer than for soda. But they are used for any can drink, just not so popular that everyone uses them or anything. I was born in Midwest (Eastern Kansas) but lived in the West the majority of growing up and most of adulthood so far too (moved around a bit, back to Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, California, etc), mostly lived in southern Nevada though.
Aussie Minifan Aldi is as close as it gets. The others you mentioned are bottle shops attached but not in the supermarket....mate. Have you shopped outside of the country? Obviously not. In the supermarkets they're talking about the alcohol is in isle 8 as in a whole dedicated isle and not nextdoor. Big difference.
Ken Lawton I’m telling you can buy alcohol in supermarkets, the bottle shops are owned by the supermarket chain (unless it’s Aldi/IGA which mostly have a liquor section ) and mostly inside the Building. And I have seen BWS and liquor land towards the back of a supermarket which is technically apart of the supermarket as its owned and operates within the building and yes then there are those externally. I have seen an isle for alcohol in an IGA that did not have a separate register or walls separating it this was because of its layout. And yes I have shopped in both rural and city supermarkets. Rural being small IGA expresses to woollies in Major cities.
I’m Aussie and in June/July 2017 I went in the carnival spirit cruise to New Caledonia and Laura was in there and she told us the story about aussies asking her if she was alright and her being confused
I used to be a Garbo run, one of the guys running behind the truck emptying the bins, I also used to be a conny short for conductor on a tram, bus or train. Cheers, and yes I use it at the end of all my comments on UA-cam.
I can tell you guys are from Qld, as you say "togs" and you can't buy liquor from supermarkets there. You can buy it at supermarkets in Vic and the ACT. The English girl had a good Aussie accent!
A lot of Australians refer to checkers as being full but I only ever use the word checkers to refer to something as really busy like “ this traffic is chockers”

Moo Moo & Cow Cow in NZ we say chilly bin, and I thought everyone used that too.
Moo Moo & Cow Cow same

Esky is just a brand that makes cooler boxes in Australia, thats how we came up with the name in Australia, otherwise people call it coolerbox

I'm Australian and I just realised that I didn't know what the proper word for 'Esky' was haha! My bad
lol
or the proper word for ute, like how do you describe that? because most people would kind of use ute as a describing word. lol
Isn't a 'ute' a type of car....?
It's a contraction of "utility vehicle"
There's no proper word that's just what Australian calls it
It's so funny that all of the comments are confused Australians wondering why other countries don't use "Ute" or "Esky"
My sister used 'Ute' when talking to her friends from America. They had to look it up and thought she was talking about an Native American tribe.
Jessica Bushell-Hale LMAO I think Ute is only used in NZ Aus and England
@Crystal Phoenix it's the shortened version of utility vehicle so yes slang.
Also apparently heaps is slang and shout (no worries, my shout
Esky is a brand name
I'm Australian and I thought most of these words where real words 😂😂
Aanyah C they are real words in Australia
Aanyah C ikrrr I'm Australian and I thought everyone would know what these words are regular modern everyday words".

I was in Cambodia a while ago and we got chatting with a Tuk tuk driver with Aussie stuff all over his bike and cart, he had fair dinkum written on it and said he loves Australians because they are all so nice but he doesn’t know what it means so we had to explain it to him😂
He might not know what it means but writing that on his Tuk tuk is a smart way of getting Aussie customers :P
Aussie Equines 👍👍
Wow. I didn't even know esky was a slang. I thought it was an actual word 😂.
Edit: Just finished the video. I legit thought half these slangs were actual words 🤔. And you forgot the one slang that every Australian knows, Maccas 😆
Yeah I remember people saying Maccas and me just pretending to understand it's McDonalds lol
Same here
It is actually a brand. I knew it as a Nylex company brand.
eksy is a brand
Its a matter of perspective. Some are slang, some started as slang and are now official words. There are Australian dictionaries like Macquarie which contain words that you wouldn't find in the Oxford dictionary for example.

Jgdlmao Jgdlmao same
So did I 😂🤦🏽♀️
And recently realised heaps was slang and shout (example its my shout)

Esky is a slang word? I'm Australian and I had no idea....
Jonas McCallum not slang, Esky is a brand.
Wait, so nobody else says Esky? I...
Deidara-senpai o
Deidara-senpai cooler is the word for it in America
My world has crumbled around me.
It is called a chilly bin in new Zealand
No I say esky

Kirstyn Archer A Truck and a cooler lmao
eksy is a brand and that's where it came from I think
Ute is shortened version of Utility Tray Truck
Not utility tray truck mate....
Just utility

Wait they don't have a bottle-o in other countries?
No lol
Usually they have grog inside the grocery store. Sometimes it's in a seal off section, but still inside the store.
Lizabeth Rose In the US we buy alcohol from the same place we buy our food you can also buy them ii gas stations and things like that
Their alcohol is like how Aldi sell it. It's all in the one place.
i know what is wrong with them
Why didn’t they do grog😂🍺
taya snape do grog as in drink it, or use the word?
That word has it's origins in early America, or Spain.
Grog isnt australian slang
beezle1976 wrong, its a naval term, rum mixed with water was referred to as grog in the Royal Navy so its a British term.
Had to stop watching when they didn't even know the definition of fair dinkum.
I didn’t and I’m Aussie.
Fair dinkum means legitimate basically like "he was fair dinkum the best rugby player ive ever seen"
means its dinky di :)
Ridgee Didge, true blue ... same meaning really
Luke Bursle what’s fair dinkum mean! I’m Australia! 😂
Budgy smugglers more australian then "togs"
I agree 100% I was shocked when I saw that one
Shane Hillier I think "togs" is a SA thing? I haven't heard it in Vic. Everyone I know says "bathers"...
Togs is more QLD. However I'd like to point out Budgy Smuglers is specifically Speedos not Swimwear in general like Togs, Bathers and Swimmers.
In NSW we call togs Cossies or swimwear
bathers or swimmers
Had to stop the video when they didn't know what servo or Arvo was legit I thought that these words where used in everyday life and there actuall words that even other countries use but guess not.i didn't even know an esky was an Australian word get Donald trump to try and do aussieeeee slang😂😂😂
Well thanks for watching about half of it lol
he would probably want to put a wall around it and say it is not American enough
I’m Surprised Maccas wasn’t on there!!
DarkEclipse1212 probably because it’s so self explanatory 😂
@@jaimewhitford6402 the amount of my American friends who wonder what maacas is, quite a lot

remmerjay rabbit also bathers in Victoria
I'm from WA and this is all true :D
Also I haven't heard anyone say 'fair dinkum' or at least I don't think it's common here
I’m from WA and everyone I know uses servo, and a lot of the older people I know say togs or cossies. Genuinely didn’t know that these weren’t used in other countries though 😂
Fair dinkum isnt that common anymore sadly
Anybody who wanting to know what english sounds like to non english speaker just watch a Australian english channel
😂😂😂😂 I LOVE this. Makes me miss Australia :)
Eternal Expat Your profile picture makes me miss Paris, i went in the nineties before they blocked off the grassy area and my partner and i lay down beneath the tower. Awesome.
I use the words Bottle-O, Esky, Fair Dinkum, Servo, Stubbie holder, Togs and Ute
Imádom ezeket a videókat IMÁDOM ! ❤️❤️❤️ Sok sikert mindenhez egyszer gyertek el Miskolcra is ;)
Thanks :P
Try saying the name of these cities in Hungary: Miskolc, Debrecen (this is my home town ^^), Szeged, Eger, Győr, Füzesabony. ;) You should also look them up on the map and perhaps find out why they are important (except for the last one, that's just a smaller town, it's not so famous, other than it has an interesting and beautiful name in my opinion) and tell us what you have learnt. ;) Bonus question: Which city is the biggest one in Hungary after Budapest both area and populationwise? ;)
I’m aussie and the ones I didn’t know were
Togs
Cark it (bc in my family we say cacked it not carked it)
Woop Woop
Some of these are state and city specific. People forget since Australia is a country slang will change city to city and state to state. Togs is a QLD thing (I didn't know that one either, until I looked online). Eg Eshay/HK started as a very Sydney thing so I know slang words like that, since I live in Sydney.
I always use these words and I have lived in Australia all my life and I love it
so for those interested in where/how we came about the woods
bottle-o bottle shop, or op
chockers, comes from chock o block rhyming slang for filled to the top
esky, is a brand name, like some people will use klenex for tissues
fair dinkum, comes from dinky die, which I knows is another twisted rhyming slang
servo, comes for service station akin to the same shortening as bottle-o
she'll be right as explained,
stubby holder comes from the beer bottle types, the stubbie being a short and squat looking bottle, and long necks and tallies being the other main styles, and the stubbie was a common over the counter beer, and a way to keep it cold (something important with the heavy larger style that was once the mainstay of beer here)
tog, so this differs greatly state by state, swimmers, cozzie, bathers, all are used,
cark it, casket as in once dead, you're next home is a casket
woop woop was a place, and it was a fair way out, much like the black stump (there was a black stump, is was was a marker in a town, that town was a long way from the major towns, and beyond that, no a lot, so we also use, beyond the black stump, out back of woop woop, etc
(as a side note, "down the road" in aussie slang can mean anything from 10 meters, to 1000kms, and often context is implied, and never given)
ute is utility, or something that is the utility version of a family based car, (so, normal looking car at the front, the front seating area will be the same as a car, but a truck like tray at the back)
u-ey, is easy
This is so hilarious to all us Aussies😂
That's why it's hilarious. They're probably getting the slang in this video from some website made by people who've never even been to Australia😂
I'm an Australian and this is bloody hilarious

Kaykaycool71 And Ute is shorty for utility.
Ken Lawton boi i've always been a failure '^_^
omg its literally 11:51pm rnnnnnnnnnn XD
Kaykaycool71 No you're not 😉
I'm 70 years old this year and lived in Sydney in the 70s and got most of these correct not bad for a guy approaching 70! very enjoyable vid Ian H.
Fair Dinkum actually means honest, or truthful
Rowan Streeter Deadset
Rowan Streeter it means true.
Yeah like “true story”
If it's Fair Dinkum it's Genuine or True (as in True Blue, hehe)
Oh wait what! Other countries don’t have utes?
I’m a Brisbane person (Aussie) and I use these words everyday
BRISSSSSSYYYYYY :D
who uses chockers
Jacob Briers lmao me
Jacob Briers - everyone
I do
The comments section here is nearly chockers.
Me.
I call the Bottle shop - The grog shop. Chockers as in Chocker block full. It's always a good idea to have an Esky in case the flamin' fridge breaks down; which has happened to me.
Yesssss I’d use them all
👍 watch our new video, it's funny: ua-cam.com/video/Lhv11mdeWro/v-deo.html
Traditionally, a 'bottle-oh' was a guy who made his living by collecting empty bottles for sale for recycling. It was a pretty thin living, so the slang term for being really down the social pecking order was the guy under the bottle-oh: the bottle-oh's rousabout.
The original Esky had a logo of an Eskimo on it, and it was clear the name was short for Eskimo.
'Fair dinkum' means real or genuine. "The fair dinkum article."
Names for swimwear vary by location. Togs, bathers, swimmers and even the cossie. 'Togs' can also mean clothes in general.
'Cark it' comes from carcass. Note also the versatile "had the Richard."
'Ute' comes from 'utility vehicle.'
I don't know what they meant you can't buy alcohol in our supermarkets because you can for sure buy alcohol in almost every supermarket in Australia😂
Keeley Ringin yeah but you have to go in a separate area to.buy it is whqt i mean
Not in WA, though usually the bottleo is the next shop over
Lol no you can't, it's always a separate area.
Not in qld!! Not even a separate area its a separate shop all together!
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, in Canberra Coles sells alcohol in the actual shop,
Togs is a regional thing. I'm in WA and we call them bathers, I'm fairly sure there's other states that do this too. Most people here don't know what "togs" are lol.
Fun fact: in WA the nature strip outside the front of your house is called a verge (they call it this in the UK too). We're the only state that calls it that.
We don't say togs in Tasmania but I still knew what they were.
Laura, you sound more like NZ towards the end of the vlog, bit mix of Oz and NZ
haha thanks lol
Just for clarification in some states of Australia alcohol is sold at supermarkets but it's in a separated section to the grocery items.
Very good video! ❤❤❤
1: that store you buy liquor from
2: i honestly haven't heard that
3: that thing you use to keep drinks cool
4: i think i'm not australian anymore
5: petrol station
6: really? is this even slang?
7: bottle holder thing to keep your hands from freezing
8: i haven't heard this before
9: i have heard this before
10: too far for u
11: holdens - or those small puckup trucks
12: u-turn
13: tradesman? garbageboiis, electrician, brick layers

Travelling Weasels do more hungery
Travelling Weasels It was funny video :) I think I could not reach more points than Tanbay. I'd like to ask You what is the origin of "Tanbay"? Is it a forename? IMHO He worth a point (or egal) for answer regarding "Servo" ... 😀
Travelling Weasels I enjoyed that 😃
Fair dinkum Mate aye? Yep, I'm gonna bugger off to Maccas and have a fat time!
I had no idea esky was was a slang word. I thought that was what they were called.
I use all these words except "Fair dinkum". I've never really used that. But I sure have heard of it.
In the US it's just a cooler but I think they call the coolers they transport organs in eskys. Also a servo is a type of motor. Another one, instead of woop woop we say Timbuktu, which I think is a place in India but here it means in the middle of nowhere.
Us Australians like our "O's"
The Esky was created by Malley's, a Sydney refrigeration business. Some historians have credited Malley's with the invention of the portable ice cooler.[1] According to the company, the Esky was "recognised as the first official portable cooler in the world."[2] The company's own figures claim that by 1960, 500,000 Australian households owned one (in a country of approximately 10 million).
Wth is a “cooler box”?!
Definitely one of the best videos of this kind, couldn’t stop giggling
Where is smoko?
"It hasn't nothing to do with Eskimos"
Lol, it's where the word derived from. The 'Esky' logo has an eskimo on it :p
i have never said togs i thought that was new zealand
It's QLD slang.NSW say cozzies
ofshaun and Victoria's say bathers
In WA its bathers
Im from brisbane and have always said togs
Lachy Eacott togs is an eastern states thing. In SA it’s bathers
"stubby holder" a stubby holder is a fabric type of object that you put a can or small bottle of drink into and it is designed to keep your drink cold and stops your hands from becoming cold.
in my area we don't say woop woop we would say 'woopdedo'.
Even better
I haven’t even heard this said before!! We just say in the middle of nowhere
i use both
I'm in Victoria and "woopdedo" has always been a reply when someone tries to point out that you stuffed up.
Except it usually is said like "woopdef***ingdo"
Erin Adams it’s woopdewoop
I'm Aussie and really enjoyed this. 'Bottle-O' and 'swimmers' are more common in NSW than in VIC. We have 'bathers' down here.

Watch our new video, we try and say 'Merry Christmas' in an Australian accent ua-cam.com/video/6GYhZDCUBH0/v-deo.html
Hey guys. I’m an Aussie here. When you said Woop Woop isn’t a town at 8:22 it actually is. Colloquially, Woop Woop means the middle of nowhere. It’s defined as "a remote and supposedly backward rural town or district."
Woop Woop was a mill town southeast of Perth Western Australia. that came into existence in 1925, before being abandoned and sold for scrap in 1984.
So now it really is in the middle of nowhere.
I use these words straya squad ❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺
Watch our new video, we try and say 'Merry Christmas' in an Australian accent ua-cam.com/video/6GYhZDCUBH0/v-deo.html
Aussies dont call it straya, thats just something people came up with from other lands when trying to understand us, We tend to refer to it more as Oz or its full name (we just talk to quick so they only pick up the "straya" part)
The Esky was created by Malley's, a Sydney refrigeration business. Some historians have credited Malley's with the invention of the portable ice cooler. Tis a brand.
Im American, and so far...um....wtf...but have to start using these slangs here, not sure they will go well, but I will get these going, Viral style on twitter, lmfao!
Stubbie holder : in usa we call them koozies or beer koozies. or just one would be a koozy. (Not sure of spelling either.) I think that's from a possible brand name, I'm not sure. Some also just call them can coolers or soda sleeves or pop coat (much older use, I haven't heard it used in recent times), there's lots of different slang used in usa as with many countries. There may be other terms for this I'm not aware of, or I just don't recall. We don't use them too often, when I do see people using them is more often for beer than for soda. But they are used for any can drink, just not so popular that everyone uses them or anything.
I was born in Midwest (Eastern Kansas) but lived in the West the majority of growing up and most of adulthood so far too (moved around a bit, back to Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Arizona, California, etc), mostly lived in southern Nevada though.
I thought Esky was a was a word
This was a pleasure to watch.
I thought that everyone uses the word Esky!?!???
Woop woop is actually a small town in WA (western Australia) and we got the slang term because it's the middle of bloody no where
In the ACT you can buy alcohol in a supermarket
Can buy it at most supermarkets in most states😂
Aussie Minifan Bullshit.
Ken Lawton you actually been to a supermarket mate?
Aussie Minifan Aldi is as close as it gets. The others you mentioned are bottle shops attached but not in the supermarket....mate. Have you shopped outside of the country? Obviously not. In the supermarkets they're talking about the alcohol is in isle 8 as in a whole dedicated isle and not nextdoor. Big difference.
Ken Lawton I’m telling you can buy alcohol in supermarkets, the bottle shops are owned by the supermarket chain (unless it’s Aldi/IGA which mostly have a liquor section ) and mostly inside the Building. And I have seen BWS and liquor land towards the back of a supermarket which is technically apart of the supermarket as its owned and operates within the building and yes then there are those externally. I have seen an isle for alcohol in an IGA that did not have a separate register or walls separating it this was because of its layout.
And yes I have shopped in both rural and city supermarkets. Rural being small IGA expresses to woollies in Major cities.
I’m Aussie and in June/July 2017 I went in the carnival spirit cruise to New Caledonia and Laura was in there and she told us the story about aussies asking her if she was alright and her being confused
Stra. I’m Australian
Watch our new video, we try and say 'Merry Christmas' in an Australian accent ua-cam.com/video/6GYhZDCUBH0/v-deo.html
I used to be a Garbo run, one of the guys running behind the truck emptying the bins, I also used to be a conny short for conductor on a tram, bus or train.
Cheers, and yes I use it at the end of all my comments on UA-cam.
like aki feliratkozott és magyar
I can tell you guys are from Qld, as you say "togs" and you can't buy liquor from supermarkets there. You can buy it at supermarkets in Vic and the ACT. The English girl had a good Aussie accent!

Fair dinkum can be used more than one way though, as in "Are you fair duinkum" and "Fair dinkum you should have seen it!"
I’m from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

Same but do you use the word togs? I dont
Brooklyn Coverley Queensland mate
Same
Brooklyn Coverley das my name mate
We use Ute, u-ey and togs in New Zealand. I think they also use arvo in Australia because we use that too
A lot of Australians refer to checkers as being full but I only ever use the word checkers to refer to something as really busy like “ this traffic is chockers”
It's funny how there's regional variations in Australia for things like bathers. Never heard people call them togs or swimmers in Victoria.
Laura said woop woop was out in the sticks, she has been in Australia too long lol
Some of my best mates are from the UK. It took me awhile to get use to them asking “you alright” and not how’s are you?”
Esky is short for Eskimo and the brand had a little picture of an Inuit person ( Eskimo ) because it keeps things cold.
