8:39 Joey saying Australian slang with a Japanese accent is absolutely hilarious 😆

I've never heard "I feel like piss and vinager" but I've definitely heard "full of piss and vinager". Usually it's in a sentence like "he's a young man, still full of piss and vinager" meaning he's still full of energy and optimism. Like the new young kid at work who still cares alot and has ideas of how to make things better, before he's beat down by upper management.

"I don't hold a hose" was coined by Scott Morrison, as his excuse for being on holidays during the worst bushfires in a decade. It's basically a poor excuse for copping out of something that IS your job.

„I‘m not here to fuck spiders.“ said by Art Simone was my favorite aussie saying

I've never specifically heard "A few beers short of a six-pack", but there are a lot of phrases used in America that are essentially the same thing. Like "He's a few cards short of a full deck" for example

I wonder what percentage of his audience is actually Australian

My Australian friend told me about Drop-bears years ago and I believed him 100%. I thought he was just excited to share his culture with me and I appreciated having this fun quirky knowlege about Australian wildlife but to find out years later that he was just trolling me. The fact that he just let me believe it for years is really hilarious.

“For shits and giggles” is VERY common in America. Even i have said it once in awhile. It a kinda old phrase. Ive started hearing it in the 90’s but it could be older than that.

To me, the most often I have ever heard, or read, the phrase “full of piss and vinegar” was usually referring to horses. Usually horses full of piss and vinegar are hard to train horses because they are wild, hotheaded, and stubborn. So I think of someone/something having a temper when hearing that phrase.

“I don’t hold a hose mate” was said by the Prime Minister during the 2019 bush fires because he refused to offer help and even went on holiday to Hawaii during one of the countries worst natural disasters in history. It’s a term used when you don’t want to help someone in a mocking way and is seen as disrespectful

I think here in Scotland we say "pulling a sickie", which I guess is similar to "chucking a sickie". So I got that one right. I knew "few beers short of a six pack", I thought everyone knew what that meant.

I'm a kiwi, and I've heard almost all of these. We've even stolen a few of them for ourselves. Kind of like how Australians stole Crowded House 😂😂 I have to say though, "Flat out like a lizard drinking" and "stone the crows" are some of the most Australian phases there are! Please do another video with Aussie slang.

As an Australian, the best part of our dumb slang words is discovering new ones and rotating them through your daily lexicon. "We're not here to fuck spiders" is my go to atm

I think "full of piss and vinegar" is a bastardization of the saying "full of vim and vigor" which also means feeling full of energy and optimism

I’m an Aussie who moved to New Zealand and I love getting my boyfriend with weird words and phrases we say. Recent ones have been whipper snipper (weed whacker) and washer (face cloth) 😂 He also never understands when I say "six of one, half a dozen of another" (meaning that two things are much the same)

6:11 Aki may have been looking for “brightest crayon in the box”

I wonder if it would be too easy for Joey to guess US slang? You could both try UK slang

The fact that "I dont hold a hose, mate" is on the list is hilarious to me. For context - when we had the Black Summer bushfires a few years ago (one of the worst bushfire seasons we have ever had here in Aus) our Prime Minister of the time said that line as an excuse for why he wasnt doing more to help effected communities. Essentially telling people it wasnt his problem.

our boi Joey arranging a secret Australian pre-marriage interview. respect.

Man I love that this channel partly just evolved into the old school Anime Man channel

The level of confusion I have after hearing those slangs cannot be properly conveyed. What in the hell.

As a Brit I understood most of them because we say the same thing. Captain Cook is also Cockney rhyming slang for 'take a look.' We say these ones in the UK: quick squiz, done myself a mischief, chuck a sickie (though more commonly ‘throw a sickie’ or ‘take a sickie’), for shits and giggles, spitting the dummy, have a Captain Cook, and stone the crows (or ‘stone me’). These are pure Aussie: fuck me dead (though we do say ‘fuck me’ or ‘fuck me backwards’ a lot), flat out like a lizard drinking (we’d just say ‘flat out’), a few beers short of a six pack (we’re more likely to say ‘a few planks short’ or ‘a few bricks short of a wall’), I don’t hold a hose, when’s smoko, fair suck of the sav, and bonza. I’m kinda surprised ‘you great galah’ wasn’t in there 😄

"Busted a plugga" has got to be my favourite Aussie slang.

Piss and vinegar is like when you're full of energy but really really irritable. Rage energy/sass spectrum.

More Aussie movies to show Aki if she hasn't seen them already: "Priscilla queen of the desert" and "The dressmaker"

I've always understood full of piss and vinegar to mean someone was energetic, but in a very angry and agressive way. Like: "That dog keeps growling and biting at everyone who comes near it, it's full of piss and vinegar!"

I love videos like this, its so funny to see non-Australians guess Australian slang 😂

Joey, depending on the part of America the 2 compatible phrases are full of piss and vinegar and full of vim and vigor. They both mean pretty much the same. The meaning is actually antsy or on edge in a decidedly positive way. Think of someone half asleep given a vinegar shooter or someone who has to take a piss so bad and can't into the bathroom so is steadily hopping or shifting in place ... ancxious energy overload looking forward to reaching that goal whether it be your place at the urinal or just reaching the moment when the vinegar taste goes away and you're still at that somewhat natural energy high you've reached. We have a lot of weird phrases in this country ... 1. "Take it up the tailpipe" means to get ripped off. 2. "Put your two cents in" means to get your honest opinion on something. 3. "Spend a dime" is a saying among older americans meaning go to the bathroom. A dime (10 cents) used to be the cost to use a sitdown public toilet. 4. "I can't even" means there's no way I'm taking that BS or agreeing with doing that. 5. Depending on where you live in the country we call hoagie's, grinders, subs/submarine sandwiches, etc all by different names despite them being the same product. Meat/vegetables in a soft or toasted 10-12" baguette-style roll/bun. 6. "Come hell or high water" means to do something no matter what the risk. There are 1000s upon 1000s of sayings/terminology differences across the country here. Even though we're one country we were settled by different nationalities in different regions of the country each of which develeoped different cultures of their own. It's why despite being one country America is easier to look at as 50+ different cultues. No 2 states have the same exact style/culture.

5:53 - I've used "A few fries short of a Happy Meal" to say someone "ain't right." Also "A few cards short of a deck," and "missing a few crayons in a box"

The "a few beers short of a six pack" is slightly similar to a one phrase that we have in México "Le falta 20 pal peso" (it lacks 20 to a dollar, its the most accurate that i can translate) and it's the same concept.

Always enjoying another banger video of joey and aki and I'm glad I subbed to all trashtaste members on KZfaq and Chris abroad and the gang hope u reeeach 2mil sub's soon

I'm American, my family uses the term "full of piss and vinegar" often. When they say it they're usually referring to someone young and full of vigor, willing to do things that older people can't or wouldn't do because of their youth and energy. For example, " yeah, well when your 20 and full of piss and vinegar it's not hard to hike up the side of a mountain." Or " If I was his age and full of piss and vinegar, I would (insert dangerous but iconic activity here)."

Great video Joey, nice seeing you with Aki on your channel

I've only ever heard "wow, he's full of piss and vinegar today" and it usually described a person who was on a rampage and had high energy. Like they're out to get someone with uncontrolled energy/rage and being nasty to everyone that gets in their way.

Throw back sometimes I really miss quiz videos

I’ve only ever heard piss and vinegar to kind of mean wanting to fight, or full of agression… and usually it’s someone referring to others. I’ve never heard someone say “I’m full of piss and vinegar.”

Aki would have to go into the south to find confusing slang from the states 😂

Knew two of these from when the Internet Historian was on the SumitoMedia podcast. "Suck of the sav" probably stems from "Fair suck of the sauce bottle", more frequently expressed as a "Fair shake of the sauce bottle".

Full of piss and vinegar means to be full of aggressive energy (i.e. ready for a fight or competition) Also, it's mostly used in the mid-west.

Hey man I have always been like a big fan of yours and I feel so glad to say that there was like 1 or 2 bits of slang that I hadn’t been feeling quite sure about but then again I have been spending at least 80% of my great years through life chillin like a villain around Western Australia so yeah big thanks for the awesome entertainment bro! ✌️😎

Stone the Crows is an old British saying but you don’t really hear it much. I only know it because it’s a Roots Manuva song, it’s pretty great.

As a northern Brit, a fair few of these are used here too. Especially throwing a sickie

Aus and NZ slang goes over so many heads I love being a part of it

I've heard and used most of these like a chuck a sickie but there were some like the Sav one I have not heard before

These phrases are courtesy of my dad who grew up in the rural areas of the northeast in the 60s and 70s, maybe some are just english in general: "It's raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock."(pretty self-explanatory) "Fixed their little Red Wagon" "Dime a dozen" "That's the last straw" "Full of/what a load of balony/beans/bananas" "Maybe once in a blue moon" "I'm having a ball" " It's freedom of speech" "Nice french" "Like finding a needle in a haystack" "What a Stick in the mud" "Stop being a Chicken/*makes chicken noises*" "Living the American dream" "Let's not open that can of worms" "'Wait" 's (As in weight's) what broke the wagon wheel" "What crawled up your ass and died?" "No shi!t sherlock" "Suck it up" And a few more. :'D

6:00 we have a similar one in the US. "He's a few french fries short of a happy meal."

I hope the Nonsense shirt Joey was wearing in the ad comes out soon, it looks really cool

Love the video and keep up the great work joey

I always associated the phrase "full of piss and vinegar" with someone that's being routy or angry, like if a child is misbehaving and throwing a tantrum, I would say, "they sure are full of piss and vinegar today"

Dude I am so team aki on this one, Australia slang/English is so hard

In Wisconsin, or the midwest in general, "welp, I suppose, it's about that time." means we're going to keep talking for another hour before actually leave. The phrase may be repeated multiple times in one convo.

I've heard "full of piss and vinegar". Usually referring to a troublemaker or prankster or a rowdy animal or something lol

great video love your stuff!!!

can we get more of joey dropping australian slang in the impression of his own mom?

The phrase is "full of piss and vinegar," and it means to be full of energy, or raring to go. It's a southern US expression from the early 1900's. Vinegar at the time was seen as medicinal, used when one was low energy. The original phrase was actually "full of pep and vinegar." But, southerners being southerners, they bastardized it to "full of piss and vinegar" because they liked it better, and that's the phrase that stuck. My grandmother would use this phrase constantly (born in 1913), but it's fallen out of common usage now.

Amazing video Joey, fantastic job.

A Sav is a type of sausage. You can buy Battered Savs from most fish and chip shops, which is basically a deep fried sausage. I usually hear the saying as "Fair Suck of the Sauce bottle" Kevin Rudd famously said it in when he was Prime minister.

"Full of piss & vinegar" is usually an older persons slang, more so from the Silent Generation on to the Boomers . My dads used it a couple of times & his dad before him.

Fabulous video, Joseph and Agnes!

Heard them all, I can remember watching as Scomo said "I don't hold the hose", but I haven't been able to use it at work yet because I am always having to hold the flamin' hose!

Piss and vinegar usually has a bad connotation. Usually used in terms of someone hyped up to get into a fight or an argument.

LOL @ the 2nd one 😂the "F me" part I think I've heard outside the context of "Australian slangs". It's almost like "I'm f'ed" "They f'ed me over"

In America it would be like "That little kid right there is full of piss and vinegar". Meaning a high strung kid. But if we don't really say we feel like piss and vinegar, the saying goes "something" is full of piss and vinegar.

The usage of "Fuck me dead" can be the Aussie version of "Fuck me sideways" to be completely honest.

Aki needs revenge: She should dig up slang phrases in Taglish (read: call Mom!) and have Joey guess the meanings.

I think "Piss and Vinegar" changes based on where you live? Like where I am in the lower midwest it means like feisty or being ready to fight at a moments notice. But I have heard it used differently throughout the states.

As an American, like Aki, I haven’t ever heard the piss vinegar phrase - ever! But great video guys! Such a fun watch!

Full of piss and vinegar is quite a common American phrase. Means you are full of energy, spirited or just high on life essentially. I've heard of a couple of those Aussie phrases, one of which I'm positive was in the movie Crocodile Dundee.

Not heard a lot of them but knowing Cockney helped decipher them as theres a lot of similarities between it and Aussie, that being said my Mrs is from only 150 miles north and I struggle with her slang sometimes.

Y'all should try to decipher southern US slang. Some of that stuff is incomprehensible

i hear 'have a captain cook' allll time from my dad. surprises me when others are familiar with it lol

The Aussie twist on " shits and giggles" is definitely "shits and gigs"

I feel like depending on where you live in Australia, the slang changes. I haven’t heard of some of the phrases mentioned, but I've heard similar variations (e.g flat out like a lizard drinking, people say flat tack where i live).

Ah, so nice to have these videos again :)

I searched up piss and vinegar, and it's from John Steinbeck's "In dubious battle" supposedly. Vinegar is was thought of as vitality things and piss is a crude way to say "pep".

The moment he said " Hey SHAZA! " I was like this show was stupidly good haha !

shits and giigles is so common it's even been australianised further in places to shits and gigs

Captain Cook - Look (rhyming slang - even I as a Brit guessed this one, a cockney would say "Butchers" or "Butchers Hook" for Look)

You guys banter, so cute. I use piss anf vinegar. Not all the time but sometimes Guess what "that dog dont hunt" means?

9:31 When she said "captain Cook Australian?" it sounded like Google search😂😂😂😂😂😂

America also has the "shits and giggles one. I'm almost 30 and I've known that one my whole life.

Me: *sees title* good luck Aki

The hose thing was unfortunately popularised by former Prime Minister Scott Morrisson (in)famously not doing *anything* during the bushfires, at the time. Victims were telling him to take action and all he could say was "I don't hold a hose".

We have similar expressions to the one at 3:07 in American English. They might be more common (and probably less vulgar) in the South.

So as an American that's family uses a lot of older, and some Southern, slang I have heard of "Piss and vinegar", but it usually means like grouchy. I haven't heard it used in the way you were talking about. From what I know it's kind of like "oh aren't you just a ray sunshine". You could also say "his face looks like piss and vinegar" to mean that he doesn't look like a pleasant person or currently in a pleasant mood. Though something to keep in mind, many parts of the US have different slang or sometimes another meaning for the same slang. Especially with something older like this. With the older ones it's kind of like a game of telephone.

Im Aussie and i use a few of these. I only didnt know 2 of these, but some may be only popular in certain states.

6:15 that smash mouth reference was peak comedy

For me when ever I hard the term "piss and vinegar" it means the person mad and is ready for a fight.

Joey have you ever considered doing some business Insider japan type stuff , that type of content mixed with your style and cultural understanding would pop off, love big dawg

Piss and vinegar is a super old saying you'd hear an elderly person say in a movie describing a younger person.

Chuck a sickie😁In the U.K it's throwing a sickie for a cheeky day off work.

He's a weird thing for me, when people say the line, "before we start the video", when it comes to being sponsored by something, after it's been, quite literally, a minute or two, of the literal beginning of the show itself.

I just realized that if you said "Have a Captain Cook" where I live, the most tame response would probably be "We/ They tried... It didn't work out so well."

I grew up with "Fuck me runnin''!" I said it in front of newer friends once and they laughed their asses off. Also grew up with "For shits n giggles" too.

aussie here, i have heard of the "fair suck of the [blank]" but usually i hear "sauce bottle" not "sav"

Spitting the dummy in my family basically means when someone’s in a huff because things don’t go the way they want so it’s like throwing a fit (I’m from England to be clear) and a few of these I’ve used on the daily or something similar like pulling a sickie for example

Just get her box sets of Kath and Kim for Xmas 🤣🤣🤣

Awesome video!

I’m an Aussie from Brisbane and I’ve heard and used almost all of these 😂

I have heard "fair suck of the sauce bottle" before. Agree with most I have heard before but not really used.
