I haven't done such a good job picking up the Aussie accent so far. It sounds very silly when Americans try to talk like they're Australian. I have learned some new words and phrases though:
how ya goin?......how are you?
no worries..........you're welcome
servo...................gas station
fair dinkum........real, true, genuine
bodgy..................low quality, sketchy
ice block.............popsicle
lollies..................candie
Maccas...............McDonald's
good onya..........good for you
jumper...............hoodie
muso........music major
mobile................cell phone
biscuit................cookie
uni..........college, university
and that's the start to my Aussie vocabulary!
Are those new shorts? Would they fit me?!! Can I commandeer them like you commandeered Beth's jacket? Miss you.
ReplyDeleteGood onya for picking up some Aussie. I'll bet you'll realize you've picked up a lot more accent than you thought once you're back around the American accent all the time. Then I'll just tell you that you (still) talk funny.
yes those are my sweet new hurly board shorts and yes they would probably fit you but you can't have them. sorry. i can get you some of your own if you want. just put in your order.
ReplyDeleteyeah i still have a funny accent and people have the hardest time figuring out where i am from!
