When you say Yorkshire, pudding immediately comes to mind. You'll find the less formal the more slang would be used. An example of the level of overusing of a single term (probably used in britain) could come in the form of "piss". Taking the piss= joking. Take a piss = going to the toilet. Pissing down = heavy raining. Getting pissed= Getting drunk. Pissed off = angry. Piss off = telling someone to go away. On the piss = drinking beer. Piss poor = low quality. Piss farting around = wasting time. Piss up = party
A dag is definitely not a geek. They might share the same fashion sense, but not the same intelligence. It can also be used fondly, such as for a friend who is a bit unstreetwise , gullible or out of touch with the real world. Said directly to someone, it would be taken as almost an endearment. Said about someone behind their back would be taken as an insult. Daggy fashion sense is a stand alone area of dagginess and anyone can be guilty of this at times.
In a lot of areas , like mine , there's a slight difference between umbrella and brolley, brolleys are usually those small half sized umbrellas that you see inner city office type people carrying, this could differ in different areas
It’s more like “Owyagahnmite”. Said fast, with minimal to no lip movement, so the fewest possible number of flies have time and room to get into your mouth. A suitable response is “G’day” or if you want you can tell your life story if you don’t mind eating heaps (lots) of flies.
was talking to johno yestdy arvo, said i was having a barbie. he said hed pop along but first he had to get some juice for the commo at the servo. i said to him make sure you drop into woolies and grab some snags and some ice for the eski to keep your tinnies cold.
Shazza and Dazza picked up some dhurries and goon from the bottle-o and jumped in their effigy and fanged it down the tarmac. Lozza was pissed that he couldn’t get pissed cos he was the deso for the night.

Quite a few of these are no longer used in big cities - particularly in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney as they are more ethnically diverse! An older aged farmer may make use of all those terms in isolated Qld and WA, and fail to announciate his words fully (flies)! New slang develops quickly amongst teens! In Perth you will find lots of Brittish slang! Ella will teach you local slang, no worries! 🤗
Bogans can come in 3 grades Lower class Middle class & upper class. I consider myself to be a Middle class bogan a bit of a larrikin but knows where to draw the line between having fun and being a bloody idiot. 🤣😂🤣
I'm an Aussie and I was having trouble with 80% of these as your accent and pronunciation turned them into completely new words 😂😂. Also, although everyone knows these words the majority of people don't really use more than a few of them (I've never actually heard someone call another person a drongo).
@@mariatateofficial I had to turn on the subtitles to be able to understand but I still found it to be difficult, despite having ancestors who emigrated from Scotland as recently as a Grandfather and a Great Aunt and my wife also being descended from Scottish grandparents.

@ its still pronounced. You dont say ‘san’er’. You say ‘sanger’. Its the ‘g’ as in ‘got’. Which is a hard g. The second g in ‘george’ is a ‘soft g’ - and no one says ‘sanjer’.

Forgot when meeting someone it's not how are you mr or mrs so and so it's either mate or first name or how ya going.. Been here since I was 16 now 78 so I've made all those mistakes.
I'm an Aussie and I'm confused by you saying thèwords with your accent. Your Avo and Arvo sound very similar. I think you will be less confused when you hear an Aussie saying them. Good luck with the visa coming through.
Their pronunciation is true to their natural accent, so not incorrect! What's a toegan? There are various types of Bogans in Australia, but usually they would be uneducated, unemployed and uncaring about their appearance!
@@jenniferharrison8915wtf? How do you not pronounce the g in sanger? Thats the second comment ive seen saying that and ive never heard anyone say ‘sana’.

Hows it goin? When someone comes up and says hello. Sort of a welcoming comment.
This always confuses me because I dont know if I’m meant to reply like “hey!” Or “im good thanks how are you?” 😂

@@mariatateofficialI’d go with, “orright…”

I think you will find it depends on the group of people and what they do. Most of these would still be used amongst trade people.
@garrymuir1442 There are not that many Australian tradies around in cities these days, unfortunately!
Bogans can come in 3 grades
Lower class
Middle class
& upper class.

Just remember sir is only used if your knighted or a teacher. everyone else is either mate or their first name even your boss.

Sanger is literally ‘sang-er’. How is that not a hard g?

The a bit in avo, avocado, is like the a in 'ave a go, not like arvo or vase. You were confusing them. The g in sanga is silent.
Im sorry i tried posting a heap of Aussie slang and educational information
But was flagged and blocked have filled out a notice area they have
So hoping it'll be reviewed and passed onto you in the future
It was quite long and in depth for educational reasons of our history how thinks changed and contexted
Out of all of it the least that i though would've had any issue's it was slang words we call bathroom over the generations
I put them in context using sentences to help understand and not miss inform or offend anyone
Some of the other slang words i thought was on the edge wether they'd pass but had no problems
All these you will here in travelling around Australia and why i tried to post them
So im sorry if doesn't get passed on to you
Unfortunately i have been blocked before for 24 hrs and never told why
Again what i posted wasn't ment to offend anyone but about our language slang
Why i tried putting words in context to not have these issues
So its now up to you tube to investigate and determine if to pass on to you guys
My apologies cheers guys 🦘🇦🇺👍

Bogan is pronounced Bo-gan. Rhymes with toe-gan.
Their pronunciation is true to their natural accent, so not incorrect! What's a toegan? There are various types of Bogans in Australia, but usually they would be uneducated, unemployed and uncaring about their appearance!
OHHH! Gotcha!
The a is silent though if you’re speaking fluent australian.
@@user-lv5bt3nt3r Like Melbin?
