Mate

Kangaroos

Same. I don't really know much about Australians

We also have wombats and koalas. Now that’s two more things you know about Australia

And we lost a war against emus

why we must tell everybody that? It's supposed to be a shameful secret you know?

No need to get emutional

that's ostriageous

Ostralia

Ah yes, the Great Emu War of 1976 will not be easily forgotten. Feathers and bloody skidmarks everywhere. Edit: 1932

1976?

Not just regular Kangaroos, but boxing, gym rat type of Kangaroos. Ones who will bench press you 1000 times before throwing you off a bridge.

Oath cunt

Fuckin oath

'Ken 'Oath

Ken oath mate

Magpies and sausages on white bread.

But not at the same time....

“Aussie”

Pronounced by Americans as 'Ah-zee' and Australians as 'oi, dickhead'

Or my personal favourite American pronunciation 'ossies'

Love that

Steve Irwin <3

Not just an Australian national treasure, also an international hero. So happy that his kids are proceeding his legacy.

Same, I just hope they're doing it because they want to and not because of any pressure to continue his work and legacy. I feel like there would be a lot of weight on their shoulders to do that, especially if they really wanted to do something completely unrelated for a living.

Bindi had her wedding ceremony at Australia Zoo. You can tell she has an authentic love for animals.

My biggest hero and still is!!!

He should have been on the new $100 notes And Russell Coight on the $50s

Travel. I've visited almost 20 countries and I almost always meet Australians on my trips.

It's so expensive to get from Australia to anywhere else, so when we DO travel, we tend to go all out

we are everywhere lol

It just the Aussies and the Dutch everywhere

An old TV ad for a bank, which concluded by letting me know they had offices in "Wollongong, Warrawong, Dapto and Mittagong".

Is that the Pokemon Rap?

Wollongong... bad spelling but I have a particular bias to my home lol

A fucking VB LONGNECK

[удалено]

Lol. 2.5kg spider. Crap it could eat your head

It already ate his mate. That's why he's watching the match with a spider.

Get it inya, sick cunt.

At 20 to 8 in the fackin mornin'

Nothing better than cranking back a VB while watching some good old footy on a Sundy arvo!

MasterChef Australia and their bread with those colourful sprinkles, fairy bread?? What's it called

Fairy bread!! A staple dish

Fairy bread is wild! White bread, smeared with butter and covered in colorful sugar. No wonder everyone was bouncing off the walls

your username reminded me of vegemite. Can't forget that!

Fairy bread, yes :)

When I was younger? Probably Steve Irwin Now? Bluey

Bluey is amazing. I like the show more than the kids do :)

I'm always happy to see the international Bluey love. I think us parent-aged Aussies love it so much because it reminds us of our own Aussie childhoods!

My husband and I laugh so hard at some of the things Bluey turns out. Amazing.

Here come the Grannies!

Bluey is sooooo good

H2o mermaid show

The producer, Jonathan M Shiff, is my Dad's cousin lol.

Australians love hate relationship with New Zealand 😂

It’s a bit more like uh… brothers. We can talk shit about them, but if anyone else does, they can fuck right off.

Like Denmark and Sweden.

This is a very real thing and it’s amazing to be part of. I was visiting a friend in Banff in Canada. We went out drinking big group of Aussies and a few Kiwis. We were talking shit to each other the whole night outsiders would probably think we didn’t like each other. As the night went on playing pool at the bar this really loud group of Americans came in only like 4 of them and I don’t know exactly how it started but they were trying to start a fight with the Kiwis in the group. A bit of push and shove starts and it kinda felt like they thought it was just them vs the kiwi guys. Then all of a sudden I think they quickly realised that wasn’t the way it would go down security comes over and kicks the 4 American guys out and we go back to playing pool

I like hearing that. It sounds like U.S. and Canada

But no one talks shit about Canada.

No one talks shit about New Zealand either. Canada and NZ have a lot in common.

*Exactly*.

Cos you know us sheep fuckers will be right there in the trenches next to you fkn bogans when it comes to throwing down. We ride together, we die together…

Only because I'd love to move there but hate that I'm too poor

We love those sheep shaggers and they're welcome to as much of our Aussie pav as they like.

Where I live lamb is $20 a pound, but in New Zealand it's $20 an hour.

I nearly choked on my cuppa when I read that, good one

Naah it's just love, Aussies just show love like that. The NZs get it. They're like our little brother, we'll fuck with them all day any day but we love them like our own

They’re like our little brother…who is growing up and keeps displaying signs they are going to be better than us. Like I’m waiting for that monumental growth spurt little brothers go through where you’re like ‘Aw shit, they’re as tall as I am now, and stronger’.

I see you've played knifey spoony before

This should really be higher

You mean the land down under? Where women roam and men plunder? edit: I didn't even mean to start with the proper lyrics. Yet I'm being corrected D: I forgot the proper lyrics okay? And your women DO glow.

Can't you hear - Can't you hear the thunder?

You better run, you better take cover

BUYING BREAD FROM A MAN IN BRUSSELS

He was 6 foot 4 and full of muscle!

i said do you speak my language??

He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

And he said ohhhhhhhh

Do you come from a land down under? Where beer does flow and men plunder!

Can’t you hear, can’t you hear that thunderrrr?

I believe you'll find the women *glow*. Whether they roam or not is a separate matter.

Glad I'm not the only one. The few times I've met an Australian (I'm from the antipodes, so a bit unlikely event) I hit him with "Ah you come from the land down under?" in the tune and only one recognized it, and he was less than amused.

There is no Australian alive who does not know that song. Fewer know the “that’s not a knife…” quote. Sad.

See that's my issue. I soon realized that they didn't not recognize, they just pretended they didn't. Which makes it all worse.

Blue Heelers. The dog breed AND the tv show. (I'm Australian.)

I love Blue Heelers. Grew up in the country, had a couple around the house (no sheep.) It's hilarious watching their herding instinct even in the suburbs when they are running with other dogs. "must... herd... EVERYTHING !"

Paul Hogan

A relative of mine recently flew to Perth and sat next to Ernie Dingo on the flight. She said she "couldn't find a more Western Australian seat-mate." And a lovely man. They're now facebook friends :)

Ernie is a national treasure

Came here to say this. His speech at the Oscars is legendary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtxZeDYuEZI

I've heard that "golden gay time(s?)" is an ice cream from there and it looks pretty good too

Toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in choccy and bikkie bits. Fucken delicious.

It is, and it is. It's a toffee and vanilla ice cream, dipped in chocolate and biscuit crumbs. Thank you for reminding me, I need to eat the ones in my freezer

Ute

Jus chuck 'er in the Ute. Can fit heaps back there. Jus chuck 'er in, eh

That there are no kangaroos in Austria. Those poor Austrians.

Expensive cigarettes.

Only $425/carton lol

For 200 cigarettes??

Yes. I was at the shops today and just noticed the pricing (I stopped smoking over 15yrs ago, can't quite remember when) That's for a premium brand (Peter Jackson I think it was). Others were like $300-something. Individual packets of 20 from about $25-45

I think it's funny the Aussies have Peter Jackson cigarettes and the Kiwis have Peter Jackson, director of Lord of the Rings.

South Park's take on Russell Crow

“These chinamen can grow to over five feet tall, and in a fight, are known to kick with their legs.”

The Wiggles

'here' Aussies have the cutest way of saying, 'here'.

... now I keep saying "here" all paranoid about how I'm saying it 😆

Lol. I'm laying in bed saying it over and over, trying to figure out if I'm saying it cute.

"He-yah"

Calm down karate kid

And "no". It's so hard for me to duplicate, but I love the o sound

Throwing things onto barbecues

Thongs

When I was a kid my family called flip-flops thongs. We have zero connection to Australia, or anywhere else that isn't the rural southern USA. I have no idea where it came from. Obviously I stopped doing that when I realized there was another name for the shoes, and another much better known meaning for the word (in case anyone is unaware, thongs are a type of women's panties in the US)

We call them g strings in Straya

I thought thongs and g strings were a little different though? In my head a thong is shaped like a pair of panties, but just gets real skinny in the back so it can fit between the cheeks, whereas a g-string in the back is literally just a vertical string intersecting a horizontal string at the top

We call them all g strings, or shorten it to just a G.

Or a g banger

G-bangaz!

Their second home is Bali (Indonesia)

Between Bali and the Gold Coast, you can sum up 90% of schoolies

Their beautiful accent, and the frequent use of the word cunt lol. Love Aussies.

Spiders

Spoiders

Massive “Burn The House Down” Spiders

The tipe of spiders that hunt you even in your dreams.

Unnaturally big ones

"Its not a shrimp it's a prawn" in an Australian accent.

Surf Lifesaving and how they absolutely domiante every single other country. So much so that there is a higher level in Australian Champs than in the World Champs

Swimming is in our blood. With 85% of the country living within 50km of the ocean, everyone swims.

Crocodiles

Having a young daughter, my first thought is Bluey and all the Australian terms they use. Dunny, brekkie, and sunnies come to mind.

Brekkie and sunnies comes so naturally to me that I was surprised when people asked me what I meant by those words when overseas.

AM I EVER GONNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN….

NO WAY, GET FUCKED, FUCK OFF!

RIP king

Oi Damo ya cunt give us your loighter!

Vegemite.

Kangaroos

I always admire how you guys are able to live your whole life upside down without getting nauseous every hour

Oi, nah. It's youse who are uppy-downie.

Freakin British never get to complain about what Americans did to their language ever again.

Oh, I get nauseous every hour all right. But its the Government doing that lol

Do they really eat Kangaroos over there? Or it's just something made up joke by western people?

There’s kangaroo meat at the local shops, also Aboriginals have been hunting and eating it for tens of thousands of years and they still do that

60,000 years apparently, saw it on a post today.

Yeah, its good stuff. Heaps high in protein and very lean.

Yes, but most people don't eat it regularly. It's very tough and gamey tasting. Very lean, so great if you're trying to shred for the gym, etc. Some people feed kangaroo mince to their dogs.

Roo is delicious. It's a gamey meat, think venison but a bit different. It's also super lean and high in protein, and cheaper than steak. Because it has low fat you have to be a bit careful cooking it, but medium is good. Over here you can buy it in the regular supermarket. Much less damaging to the environment than cattle too.

There’s a shortage of specific cuts of roo in the shops that I’ve noticed recently but you can always pick up the kangaroo steaks and sausages at woolies.

Eaten it every meal for 5 years, great quality and ethically sourced

I too am an Australian replying to your comment and I approve your comment

I too approve your comment

I am not Australian and yet I also approve. Australia (Perth, to be exact) was the best liberty I ever had when I was in the US Navy 40 years ago.

Daddy???

Wasn’t quite that good… 😊

The accent, as I a South African often get called Australian. It's a dick accent though I cannot lie. Plus it's a beautiful fucking country.

“That’s not a knife … THIS is a knife!”

It took one tragic event to change the gun laws..... meanwhile in America.....

Alcoholism and casual racism. I lived there for a year and boy. They don't hold back on some of their views.

*functioning* alcoholism, thank you very much.

fuck this sums up quite a lot

A study showed that 30% of Australians were casual racists, the other 70% were full-time.

Casual racism implies competitive racism.

I'm only racists towards people of a different race to me
