Stubby holder makes perfect sense when a 375ml bottle of beer is called a stubby! I'm surprised he didn't include that next to stubby holder. Jetti is misspelt on the video. It's called a jetty. Many of these words are NOT slang but the actual word used. Had he only used slang words his video would have been very short. Sorry, but there is so much wrong with this video that it's misleading.

We can legitimately call them stubby holders because they were invented by an Aussie trying to find some thing to make from the leftover neoprene used in the manufacture of a popular brand of wet suits and made them to fit his beer bottle called a stubby .

We also use "stuffed" to mean broken, especially something that's unfixable, we also tell people we don't like to "get stuffed". He's wrong about a "jumper", it's what Americans call a sweater. We call hoodies, "hoodies". Fizzy drink? We call sodas "soft drink". He's definitely confused on a few of these. "Chilly bin" is what New Zealanders call their portable chilling device or what Aussies call an "Esky". We also use "piss" to refer to urination. We call trolley cars "trams" in Australia. It's 'jetty', not jetti. "Neat" is what we use to mean tidy, when something is clean, we call it clean. Cheeky is for when someone is inclined to give cheek or be a rude pest (like me). "No wuckers" is an Aussie Spoonerism (look up William Archibald Spooner) meaning "No f*ckin' worries". He's an idiot, it's not pronounced "groose", it's pronounced "grouse" (it rhymes with house and mouse) SMFH

I feel like that's bullshit tbh, Americans often just spell things how they are pronounced, and vice versa, is it really a stretch to think that we're both saying it properly, only Americans say the "ium" part a bit faster, it sounds like the "I" is still there most of the time, it's also faster to say and makes more common sense to just say Aluminum, but if you say it with an Aussie accent, you definitely won't even hear a semblance of an "I"

“Stubby” = short bottle of beer (so stubby holder or stubby cooler absolutely makes sense!) “Longneck” = tall bottle of beer Adidas is a German brand and the way we pronounce it is correct. The US pronounces it incorrectly.

In English (UK, Australia), there are two words pronounced the same but with different meanings. Curb means to block, stop, or prevent, eg curb your appetite, whereas kerb is the raised edge of the road. (sigh) Americans mispronounce oregano, Adidas and aluminium. Webster’s dictionary changed the spelling of aluminium for reasons unclear, some sources say to make it simpler to pronounce, but most of the metals with the same suffix are all spelled with ium: potassium, sodium, barium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, cadmium, etc. And Australia pronounces Adidas correctly because we know where the name came from. Two German brothers, Rudolph and Adolf Dassler, started a business making sports shoes, but after a time, they fought over the direction the company should take, so they split up and Rudolph named his company Puma, while Adolf, nicknamed Adi, named his company Adidas, the two first syllables from his own name. Outside America, it’s the Latin/Spanish/Italian pronunciation of oregano: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qqqppqag0sqtd2w.html

I've been following the studies going on here for awhile now, because a dangerous species of crab was pulled out of the Mandurah Peel Estuary ( where I live ) a few summers ago, which if it grabs a hold, will wipe out our estuary completely. So because I go crabbing / prawning and fishing in the estuary regularly, I need to know what things to watch out for ( including shark sightings which are common this time of year )

Australians often add o sounds, or any other vowel at the end of words to make what linguists call a “diminutive”. Words like ‘kitty’ are diminutives, and in this case implies that the cat is small or cute. In Australian English though diminutives are used super frequently and don’t have the cute, little / childish connotation that other English dialects have for such words. There’s a great Wikipedia page with an alphabetical list of them if you search ‘diminutives in Australian English’

Arvo is afternoon, avo is avocado. Jumper is a sweater. We call hoodies hoodies both because they have a hood and we didn’t have to add the ie at the end. Stubby holder because we buy a slab/case/carton of beer and the smaller sized bottles are called stubbies. Ute is a utility vehicle that tradies use. And that’s a Holden Ute. Holden was an Australian built car and was taken over by GM but we don’t make them anymore. Prawns are bigger than shrimps and king prawns are bigger again. That’s why we don’t call them shrimps.

8:16 that is a Holden Ute. It is powered by a 6.2 Litre V8, so yes, that is fast. But there are many different types of utes, some are for performance, like this one, while others are more like your everyday workhorse "utes". "Ute" is short for "coupe utility", which was invented in 1936(?) when a farmer asked Ford for a car that he can use on the farm during the week, and take him and his wife to church on Sunday. So Ford basically created the segment, and it has since expanded from there. There is some debate whether a "ute" is only confined to monocoque chassis with a bed at the back, like the Holden Ute in that picture, or whether it includes separate cab-chassis "trucks" with a bed at the back. I am of the opinion that a "ute" has to be a monocoque, but I'm sure that there will be many who disagree.

Loving not just your genuine reaction videos but also the interest you're taking in our country, so 'Cheers'. I'm 48 and visited the US a few times with parents and sister when much younger (early 80's and early 90's), and got the impression that Australia was largely unknown by the majority of Americans. Ever since can remember we've grown up on primarily American TV shows and movies - America was perceived as our 'cooler, older cousin'. I still have much respect for the US and hope to visit again someday, just hope that eventually your gun laws will be tightened and healthcare becomes much cheaper for the average citizen. Hope that you and your crew will visit sometime. In the meantime thanks for your videos, only recently discovered your channel.

Ute is short for 'utility vehicle', the closest to it in America would be a Pickup truck. We actually pronounce 'Addidas' correctly - It's a German brand. Only in North America do they mix up the meal structure. For a three-course meal it goes hors d'oeuvres/entree (you're right re it looks like 'enter' - it's the introductory meal), main course, and dessert.

The word Candy is actually used sometimes in Australia, but it refers to certain name branded Lollies. Candy is usually a hard boiled or hard compact lolly. Lollies are usually soft. And a Jumper is a lil specific as well. Jumper (usually thick woolen and sometimes with inner fleece lining), Windcheater (thick cotton), Cardigan (thin wool or cotton), Jacket (usually made of leather or other similar material), Hoodie (jumper, windcheater or jacket with a hood). Also Rock Melon and Cantaloupe are two different types of Melon Fruit. They have slight differences between them. Australia has both. Most of his word changes are regional and depend on what part of the country or cities one lives in. They all belong to different accents of the Australian language. Also it is America that is different in its spelling and pronunciation. Most English speaking languages all say the same thing, the US is the odd one out.

Hi Joel! First of all he lived in the eastern states while he was here (Sydney, NSW; or Brisbane, Queensland) and half of those words/phrases are used there. Neat is actually another way of saying cool; entree has 2 e's; donutting is also referred to laying rubber from a burnout - wheelie in a car; rubber is also a condom; no idea what cheeky is; she'll be right mate is another saying. But Joel most importantly is ALUMINIUM - I googled this to prove our point (The American Chemical Society (ACS) officially adopted aluminum in 1925, but in 1990 The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) accepted aluminium as the international standard. And so we land today: with aluminum used by the English speakers of North America, and aluminium used everywhere else.) Just like the metric system the USA has to be different!!! Also, unless you weren't aware that North America had convicts before they were sent to Australia in 1788 (After 1718, approximately 60,000 convicts, dubbed "the King's passengers," were sent from England to America. Ninety percent of them stayed in Maryland and Virginia. Although some returned to England once their servitude was over, many remained and began their new lives in the colonies.)

One fruit related Aussie description is one I learnt about in a Livestream. I said I had some Stone Fruit to eat and it really confused the American Couple who have a KZfaq channel. I didn't know that was just an Aussie thing. Basically we call fruits like peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums etc "Stone Fruit". Once I explained that, they understood and quite liked it. Our lemonade isn't actually made with lemons 🍋, the fruit is actually called a lemonade and has a sweeter flavour. If you're in Australia and want something like the American variety find yourself some Bundaberg Traditional Lemonade.

An apartment and a flat are both types of residential units. However, the terms are often used interchangeably, with some differences in meaning depending on the region. In general, an apartment refers to a rented unit in a multi-unit building, while a flat refers to a self-contained unit in a building, usually a house, that is rented out. A flat may also refer to a unit in a larger building that is designed for single-floor living, while an apartment is typically found on multiple levels within a building.

There was a bit of legal back and forth and they are sorta different but sorta the same at the same time. Makes sense that we call petroleum "petrol" because we also have cars that run on "gas" (liquid petroleum) so would be silly calling them both the same thing 🤷‍♂️ Ive heard Plumbers referred to as "turd burglar" 🤷‍♂️🤣 "plumbers crack" is used here too. Chockers comes from chock-a-block which I believe is a rigging term when using a block and tackle. When a bottle is not big its a stubby bottle. Stubby bottles go in a stubby cooler. Makes perfect sense. College is NOT the last 2 years of high school... in Australia a College is where you would get certification or diploma, so all your trades - plumbing, building, bricklaying, electrician etc.. Commercial cooking to be a chef, horticulture, hair dressing... the list goes on. If you want a degree you go to university for a bachelor, masters or PhD. Don't know who told Tristan it was yr 11/12 Adi-das is the proper way to say the brand. Was founded by Adolf Dassler his nick name was Adi. Adi das sler - Adi das. Both ways that ALU is said are correct Telly and TV we both use 🤷‍♂️ No wuckers is not short for "no worries", it's short for "NO wucking furries" which is a comical way of saying "no fu*king worries" - it means no worries, but it ain't short for that. And we do have american lemonade sorta, but it's usually called pub squash, lemon squash etc. Sweeper??? It's a broom 🤦‍♂️ Who dafuq is calling it a sweeper?? We have street sweepers, but a broom is a broom and don't matter if it's an outdoor broom, indoor broom or a small dustpan and broom... it's a bloody broom!! Keep up the great content bro.

The Ute shown was a bit of a bogan looking Ute, generally the more common utilitarian type are more like half a 4wd suv (2 seats) with a tray on the back. They’re about the size of a regular suv, so smaller than American trucks. American “pickup trucks” as we call them have started to gain some popularity in Australia, but they’re generally perceived as cars for wankers due to their inconvenient size and lack of visibility that leads to more accidents. If you’re interested in learning more about cars in Australia you should check out the Jimny: they aren’t sold in America so there’s a small cult of people in the US who pay to get them imported from SE Asia, Australasia and Europe. I never heard “plum bum”, instead it was always “brickie butt”. There are a few regional differences in slang, for example in Qld people are more likely to call swimmers/bathers “togs” and sneakers/runners “sandshoes” etc. personally I also call fizzy drink/soda “soft drink” as opposed to “hard” or alcoholic drinks (so technically it can include milk, water, juice etc, but generally it means fizzy sweet non alcoholic drink).

I didn't know what a desso was either (from Melb too) It's a designated driver. A koozie (or coozie) is said to come from the English tea cosy that they put over their teapot. The Yanks called it a coozie to incorporate 'cool' in the cover that keeps drinks cool.

I grew up in Qld and NEVER said Mondee, Tuesdee etc. My father still does - but he was originally from NSW.

I’ve never heard it called plum bum. Maybe that’s unique to a particular region or age group. Most Aussies call it builder’s bum.
