New Video - Aussie Christmas Explained 🇦🇺 🎄- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdWbfMaTydKsm6c.html Thanks for watching ❤

As an Australian I just find foreigners getting confused so funny lol

Here's some Aussie Words I Learned from Watching the Show: 1. Dobbing = Tattling/Snitching 2. Ice Blocks = Ice Pops/Popsicles 3. Dunny = Toilet/Outhouse

2:31 I like to think that calling an Ibis a 'bin chicken' is kinda similar to calling a raccoon a 'trash panda'.

As a Brit, Bluey has made me aware how similar Aussie English is to British English...and how different it is too. One thing I find interesting about Aussie English is how everyone shortens words in general conversation, like "brekkie" and "biccy". When we shorten them, it's seen as more childish/baby talk. Us Brits also use the word 'mate', but it seems in Australia, 'mate' is a unisex word. In the UK, 'mate' is more masculine (a dad may call his young son mate, but hardly ever his daughter).

I think it’s so funny that bandit refers to his kids as “mate” like even in emotional situations Lol

If I’m honest, I really want and hope that they make an episode where someone moved from America to Australia.

The Christmas Swim episode was the biggest culture shock for me, it was just so unusual to see them celebrating Christmas without snow, all the shows I was brought up on (The Simpsons, for example) always had "winter wonderland" ice cold style snow for their Christmas specials. Got me thinking about how Australians must be tired of seeing that stereotype in America shows.

as an australian, hearing all this being explained in such detail gets me cracking up 😭

I loved the entire episode about how "[dunny] isn't a rude word, it's just not a nice word." Took me a bit to figure out whether they meant dunny was a cuss word or not. Also, it was my first Bluey episode

Oh, bin chicken, like trash panda for raccoon!

In The US And UK Version, The Word “Capsicum” Is Replaced With “Bell Peppers”.

I remember hearing Aunt Trixie say "Show her your thongs!" while I wasn't looking at the TV and I whipped my head around so fast I nearly hurt myself

As an Aussie I get these words and seeing people look puzzled makes me laugh for it makes me realise that I’ve been confused at things in foreign shows so I get it

As a Aussie it's so funny watching people get confused at the language in Bluey and here i am being above them all understanding all of it 💀

As an American, hearing "thong" in a children's show definitely made me do a double take! 🤣 Florida has a version of Bin Chickens; little white egrets we call Cow Birds given they rest on cows all the time, and they're everywhere!

In 2013 I was at a bar in Kansas and asked for a "roadie", which in Australia means "a take away drink for the road" Apparently in the US it means getting a head job whilst driving. I had no idea. The bar was full of servicemen (Navy) I got some VERY strange looks and a quick correction from the bar staff.

In Greece we call: Potato flakes = Chips (Πατατάκια) Fries = Potatos or Fried Potatos (Πατάτες or Τηγανητές Πατάτες) Thongs = Slippers (Παντόφλες) Biscuits / Cookies = Biscuits (Μπισκότα) Crackers = Crackers or Salty Biscuits (Κρακεράκια or Αλμυρά Μπισκότα, we often call biscuits the ones that are sweet or not salty atleast) Bin Chicken = There is no such thing here so we never have to say anything close to that. Dunny = Toilet (Τουαλέτα) Cheeky = Θρασύς (This one is a genuine Greek word with a similar meaning to the word cheeky) Capsicum = Πιπεριά (usually we call them "sweet peppers" "γλυκιά πιπεριά" or "cayenne peppers" since capsicum comes from the family of capsicum annuum peppers)

In a truly ironic twist, Bluey should not have that name at all. Bingo is the Red dog and should therefore be called Bluey. Any redhead in Australia is called Bluey. My dad called my mum Bluey (she was a ranga) for all of my life. It's sort of an Aussie linguistic middle finger to traditionalism. A quiet person is called Rowdy and a very tall person is often called Shorty etc. By the way I have lived in Brisbane for most of my adult life and I know every single landmark in the show. It's a sort of sport for us locals.

For a long time I thought a cantaloupe was a type of large animal (probably because it sounds like antelope, I thought it was a similar animal). It wasn't until I was watching a documentary about large storms where they said the hail stones in one particular storm were 'as large as cantaloupes' that I figured something wasn't right. I Googled it and found it's the American word for rockmelon. Still pretty huge for a hailstone, but far from the antelope-sized chunks of falling ice I was envisioning as I looked up the actual meaning.

Aussie language is a lot more similar to British slang, so I find it easier to understand than my American friends. Words like "Biscuit", "Bin" and "Cheeky" are used in the exact same way in the UK.

Capsicum is the only word I didn't know or couldn't figure out without an explanation.

I was in the US last year and described a football game I attended as a "blinder" to some American friends. I'm so used of using that word that I didn't even think before I said it but when I saw the puzzled and somewhat confused looks on my friends' faces, I quickly explained that it meant that it was a brilliant game that was well played by those involved. A few days later, I was describing the same game to a different group of friends and the same looks occurred. I quickly explained it again and have since heard my US friends use it semi-regularly in conversations

Thanks for this mate, as a non-native english speaker some of these words really confused me while watching the series

Usage of the word "mate" from an aussie In reference to a friend "oh yeah Robbo and I have been mates since we were kids" Someone you don't know "mate, do you mind moving your car?" As a term of endearment (especially with a child) "what did you get up to at school today mate?" Sarcastically Person 1) "who lost the chuck for the drill press? Person 2) "your mate over there" *note this works best when the person in question is disliked by whoever asked the question* To someone you're having an altercation with "mate you need to leave *now* As an exclamation of excitement "maaaaaaaaate" As nearly every word in a sentence "hey mate, I heard old mate is having a barbie so call your mates and let's go mate"

I really like how Bluey teaches people what Australia is like (culture-wise and geologically to an extent). It's was fun to learn what some of these words meant. I personally, like Rock melon better than Cantaloupe (Rock melon just sounds cooler). Great video!

Me, an American watching bluey without basic knowledge of aussie words: *I’m a little confused, but I got the spirit*

Bin Chicken is the Aussie cousin of the American "Dump Duck", aka seagulls, and a distant cousin of the "Trash Panda", the Raccoon.

Brilliant! I sent this to my (Pommy) sister, to whom I recently introduced Bluey! And thank you so much for using my favourite of all time Aussie-ism - 'yeah nah'! *In the description of Capsicum! Now she will have to believe me!! Isn't that what we all say? Yeah nah indeed!!

Newly introduced to this show, but I had a bit of prior knowledge of some Australian terms from other media (dunny being used in Ty the Tasmanian Tiger especially). Definitely got thrown in a loop with Thongs when I first heard it but just accepted it as the Aussie equivalent to flip-flops. Love how they let the terminology stay in tact rather than dub it over for international audiences (besides Capsicum getting changed to Pepper here in the US)

As an Aussie, I can say that fires where I live are called hot chips, also my whole class calls chocolate chip cookies cookies, which I think is better than calling them biscuits. Apart from those two, you're pretty spot on :D

One word I had to look up from this show was chook. Bandit says "dirty chook" in the episode "Fairytale" To me it sounded like a bad word, I knew there was no way they would do that 😂😂 It means chicken 😂😂

Thanks for explaining, I really it was difficult to understand the phrases in the series,only could guide me for the context, because English isn't my Mother Language, at the school only taught British and American English, but I really excited learn more about Australian English and in other countries English Speakers. Greetings from mexico 👋🇲🇽

I actually learned what a dunny was while reading some of Paul Jennings books😂

As an American, I felt like Aussie slang was actually pretty easy to pick up after hearing it used in context. Maybe it’s because a lot of it is just shortening longer words that I already know in order to talk quicker.

Bet American biscuits really makes people really go for a loop internationally. In America biscuit is used often specifically for a specific kind of bread often eaten at breakfast, notable for using baking powder instead of yeast as a leavening agent. Probably the closest international equivalent is a scone, though American biscuits are almost never sweet as to go with more toppings or other breakfast items such as eggs or meats.

4:30 I never knew Disney+ changed the wording on that one! In America they just say peppers. It's neat to see yet another difference in the two.

I’m from the US in America 🇺🇸 and I love these Aussie words already! My favorites are Mate, Capsicum, Cheeky, Biscuits and Chips. Have a good day/night mates!

Proud to say the only word I didn’t know was rockmelon, as an American

I'm an American and I knew what all these words mean. I just love Australia.

aw haha i usually call rock melons honey melons! Cantaloupe sounds pretty funny

Not from the show but it's a word that's used by those more up north in Canada, that being Beauty which is used in the same context as Aussies. Like "oh hey it's a real good day today eh? Yeah beauty." In a conversation between two dudes either say at work whenever it's nice outside.

As an Aussie, I have a few American friends and they’ve come over to Australia and we go down to the creeks, one time they were meeting me at the creek so I was texting them and just letting them know that I’ll be there soon and I’m just getting my thongs on and this was they’re response “oh, we are going to the ‘fun’ club today?” And I almost died when I realised

I love how these shows can cause kids in other countries to pick up Australianisms. We seem to have a skill for creating popular children's tv, I think kids in America might be drawn to it because it seems more warm and genuine than many overproduced programs that might be made there (not to say that all American kids shows are like that).

Fair dinkum. Good on you for bring us some Aussie words.

I learnt a Lot of Aussie Words. Thanks

I understand Chilly's situation by her asking her family to say toilet instead of " Dunny ". It's like in the UK your term " Dunny " is our lingo for " Bog " which I don't like using. Also we Brits say " mate " to each other too. But what was new to me was the bell pepper " Capsicum ". Oh and " Bin Chicken ". Never heard that in Aussie slang.

Thanks for the video mate.

i learnt more things from this 6 minute video, then i ever did in my 6 years of english class. Thank you.

1:00 I'm from the US and we called flip-flops thongs when I was a kid, so it might be a generational thing

I was so caught off guard when I was washing dishes and muffin walks in yelling LOOK AT MY THONGS I was like what is my son watching 😂😂😂

Thanks mate!!! Loved the word for paprika!

Thank you for the education. I do appreciate it.

This is really a great video so I don’t have to explain the differences to my kids constantly 😂 this is perfect so they understand fully what everyone in the show is saying

So apparently "dunny" is similar to "jamban". Theyre talking about outhouse (usually squat) toilets & yet in Brunei people casually call every type of toilet "jamban" (in Indo it's only used to specifically describe outhouse squat toilets)

As an Australian, I knew all of these

I'm a Filipino that's been living in Australia my whole life.seeing people getting confused with common words I use everyday amazes me

The only one I didn't know was "Bin Chicken". (I'm a huge fan of "Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries" Learned a lot there!) I thought they were saying "BIG Chicken" and couldn't figure that out. Also, the version of BBQ I saw had them saying pepper.

I like how Aussies pronounce the “o” in know, no and blue as in “naouuu”. It took me a year to get it right.

“Thongs” My mind: “wHaT- tHoSe?”

I'm British but whenever i speak to my pets I'm like "Hello mate! I love you mateymoo!" Yeah I'm a weirdo lol

Okay most of these I would understand non-Australians not getting the meaning of, but cheeky is a word in the US too. It’s more commonly used in the UK and Australia (and perhaps other places, idk) but I’ve heard it used over here as well. It’s less of a slang term and more of a common English word that’s just not as common in the US.

british to aussie translations: chips = chips (like with a burger) or crisps (like from a packet) thongs = flip-flops or slides biscuit = cookie if it has chocolate chips, cracker if you’d put cheese on it and biscuit for everything else bin chicken = i guess an Ibis as we don’t have them dunny = toilet or loo cheeky = cheeky capsicum = pepper rockmelon = honeydew melon mate = mate, but in australia, it is used to address either gender, but in the uk, it can still be used like that but often it used between men/boys

I feel right at home watching this video, g'day mate.

Love the fact pat ( Lucky's dad) sings hey ture blue, by John Williamson, now international viewers theres an education 4 u....

The word thongs for sandals/flip flops seems to be a generational thing in America. My grandmother used to use the word thongs and we would always laugh about it, but knew what she meant was flip flops. No one younger than her generation uses that word anymore for shoes because of what it means now.

5:14 couldn't resist mate

I thought they where always saying “BIG CHICKEN!”😂😂😂😂😂😂❤ -❤😊

American word for 🍆: Eggplant Australian: Eggplant The UK: Aubergine

0:40 so like in Hebrew? Nice, Aussies get it. Israel calls capsicums gambot (gamba singular) Also rock melon is melons & watermelon is avatiach.

this is such a good video not only explaining the Australian accent to other english speakers, but also teaching english to people who has it as a second language

Me being Australian watching Bluey when I was younger then realised that when I got older not only Australians watch Bluey I was shocked

Thank you man, i speak Spanish Soo in my school they just teach us england English and part of my family teach me USA English because they live there, Soo when I saw bluey I didn't know that those where Aussies words until now Also, I didn't realize bluey was from Australia until 'the geek' episode when the kangaroo comes out, i don't know how to Differentiate accents 😅

I actually understood half of those already because of watching Steve Irwin, and interacting with Australians in D&D servers. Dunny was a new one to me though.

heh, my dad is american and even he calls flip-flops "thongs". i just think that's kind of funny Australian culture is so interesting, i love it

I'd also like to add that cheeky has some extra nuances in Aboriginal English where it can sometimes mean something akin to dangerous behaviour. Like a dog that nips and bites people would be a cheeky dog.

"The going out thongs"

4:43 Disney Junior, Disney Channel, Disney+ & DisneyNOW In The US And CBeebies In The UK Replaced The Word “Capsicum” To “Pepper”

My favourite Cartoon BLUEY .. I'm a child fan from Sri Lanka ♥️♥️♥️

Kiwis: I do not have such weeknesses.

4:25 Oh wow, I didn’t know they must have changed it for Disney+! They called em peppers in the version I watched. Weird thing to censor

Most of the Aussie words they use I learned from watching Wentworth 🤣

Bin chicken was just bin chilling until the family came along

Great video. I remember learning Australian terms from growing up watching Neighbours in the UK. Have we lost the skill of learning things from context?

In Indonesian, Bin Chickens are literally being called Chicken.

As an Australian it kinda feels like teaching a toddler how to speak

We call the fries 2 way in Turkish “patates kızartması” and “cips” also the chips is cips (like lays)

It’s rlly funny when people are confused, like it has me proper cackling

as a brit watching bluey and loving it, most of the words are the same in britain although thongs in the uk are "stringed Ladies undergarments" edit: i always called them orange melons cause the yellow melons are melons and watermelons are watermelons i think my mum thought if it was called a cantaloupe i wouldnt eat it but i love cantaloupes honestly my favourite melon

One word I find weird is that they call farts “fluffies.” Edit: I mean do they really call it that in Australia or is it just an alternative term cuz they think “fart” is a naughty word?😅

From the US here. It helped me that I have a few friends from the UK and a lot of words like chip, biscuit, and such so when I hear it in Bluey it doesn't phase me. But then Capsicum came on and I was confused as all hell. But once ya showed a picture it made complete sense because we just don't USE the scientific name for em. They're just peppers. Also Rockmelons can also be called muskmelons here in the States. It's more of a rural/Southern dialect. Fun to see how language just changes and evolves depending on where ya live.

I like that ol mate nailed the definition for old mate

It’s funny cause as an American I do know the word cheeky it just doesn’t come up in daily conversation nearly as much, it’s like a word I would only read in a book

I’m Australian but these Aussie words in bluey are 100% true what actual Aussie people casually use these words in general. (But bugger me these Aussie words I can get along with them.)

gotta love giggle chickens in the morn XD

Pear shaped is such an Australia specific expression too. I remember hearing it in tv shows growing up in the 00’s but have no idea if it’s still used today lol

I haven’t heard them use “crook” yet. Yea that’ll be a fun one to confuse everyone else 😂 Edit: do you say “crook” in aus? Maybe it’s just us kiwis. Mackenzie’s family could say it then 😂

Interesting. The only word I was actually confused by is capsicum. I'm from the US, so I call them peppers.

How relaxing, even though I know all of these, thank you

Oh...suddenly Spinel calling Steven's Sandal a foot thong makes much more sense
