Hey guys!
I'm Nichola
I'm Hugh
and we are here with Megan Bowen
who is also known as
Chonunmigooksaram imnida (I am American)
she has been visiting us and she has eaten a lot of strawberries
I've eaten over 100 strawberries
yeah
but today in this video
because you are American
I'm going to test you with some Australian slang
alright!
sounds great mate!
did you know that, your name
we actually say it differently
MEgan
yes MEEEEgan
MEEEEgan
so when I say your name I have to be like "oh wait how do I say it?"
I don't know
MEGAN
So I'm going to read some sentences out for you
and I want you to tell me what you think they mean
and if you need help you can ask Hugh
he might not know all
he might have a better idea of Australian slang
okay
let's go
first one
"I think I might chuck a sickie tomorrow"
that means that you are going to call in sick for work?
yeah!
good job
it means you are probably going to fake it though
yeah yeah yeah
Gonna go home s'arvo and make myself a sanga
Gonna go home right now, ASAP
and I'm gonna make myself a sangria?
no
this means I'm going to go home this afternoon
sarvo is this afternoon
and I'm going to make myself a sandwich
might be a vegemite sandwich
sanga sound like sangria to me!
ya'll all trippin
"so at chrissie we gonna see the rellos
and have some pressies
and it's gonna be heaps good aye"
okay
so at...
in the evening
okay sarvo is the afternoon
so chrissie must be the evening
we're gonna see
the rugby game
and have some drinks
okay do you want to go with that answer or do you want to ask Hugh?
alright I'll ask him
ah chrissie is Christmas
and 'rellos'
I don't know
I think they are going to
buy something from somewhere
for Christmas
he got one thing right
so this means at Christmas
we're going to see the relatives
and we are gonna have some presents
and it's gonna be heaps good
why do you guys do that?
There's an Australian YouTuber that I watch
some things she just adds 'ies' on it
yeah that's what we do
Stop paying me out for being a bogan
stop thinking that I am a loser
very very very close
so 'paying me out' means making fun of me
and a bogan is sorta like a loser
like a redneck kinda
sorta something like that
alright
I was close
good job, okay
Just gotta slip me thongs on so I can duck out to woolies to buy a BBQ chook
alright
I should put my pants on so that
I can go to the store called woolies
to buy me some BBQ meat
very close
thongs are flip flops though
so I've gotta but my flip flops on
so I can go to the store
called Woolies, it's actually Woolworths but we shorten it to Woolies
to buy BBQ chicken
oh okay
chook is chicken
I said meat though
you were very very close
it is meat!
good job
I know I'm a bit of a dag, but I got my cossie on under my trackie daks
Okay, I know I look bit of a hot mess right now
like I'm not dressed up properly
I look very haggard
and uh
but I have my nice clothes on
underneath my tracksuit
okay
my sweatpants
you got a little bit of that right. You got half of that right
yes a dag is sorta like a loser, but like a lovable loser
so like you said, not sorta dressed up
'cossie' is swimming costume
like swimsuit
and trackie daks is track suit pants
wooooo
yeah good job!
what does cossie have to do with swimming suit?
swimming costume
oh lord
oh lord
does that sound a bit british?
I got my "brace-ies"
and my "watchies"
and my "ear-ies"
we don't do that
pull over here so we can chuck a u-ie cause need to go to the servo
oh okay
that's easy
it just means you need to make a U-turn
so that you can go to
the gas station
yes!
wooo
good job
I just figured servo.... service station
that's right
you want a bickie with your cuppa?
Would you like to have a straw
with your drink?
I know this one
you wanna throw to Hugh?
okay okay okay
you want biscuit with your coffee
cuppa is...
cup of tea
cup of tea yeah
and a bickie is a biscuit which is
different to the American biscuit
it's more like a cookie
It sounds so interesting because it sounds like baby talk for us
when we talk to babies we are like
so instead of saying biscuit
biccie
oh, bickie
I think there was something wrong with those snags because I feel a bit crook
Okay so the food that I ate earlier today, the snacks
maybe they were spoiled
so now I'm feeling a bit nauseous in my stomach because of the things that I ate
but what is snags?
snags are cigarettes

which are cigarettes
snags are...
some type of gansik (snacks)

snacks
no, snags
S.N.A.G
oh I don't know
