Hello! I took up mechatronics and some slang/real world language I never knew until I looked it up on google were:

Naught (or zero) Sunny disposition Fair dinkum A violent reaction when I said slippers Fair enough You from Narnia Eshay and Bogan Birds/Sheila as women Many alcohol and drug words I’ve forgotten Shoe-y Lollipop girl Tradie Servo Bottle-o Root and my friends pranking me about it

And my favorite slangs: Brekkie Budgie smuggler

Still unclear: Put a sock on it

When i first heard about thongs I was so confused as to what they were and when i realised I just found the entire ordeal to be funny 😅

"hit you up" i thought it meant i'll get back to you

no. the girl i was talking to thought i was hitting on her

I love old mate. It's a classic.

For someone you literally don't know or wish to know.

In Ireland I've been told they use "that's your man".

IMO “dickhead”, said as one word (absolutely no pause between dick and head), is a good go-to insult if you’re actually trying to express your displeasure towards someone. Edit: Oh, also, it could be fun learning how to pronounce Melbourne a little bit more like a local.  Feel free to keep your accent, of course, that’s totally fine and not talking about that at all. Instead of saying Mel-Bourne (Bourne like Jason Bourne), try “Mel-Burn” (Burn like Mr. Burns) and then gradually transition to “Mel-Bun” (bun like the bread you use for a burger).  Emphasis on the first syllable. Second syllable half the length of the first syllable. Good luck, and welcome!

And yet is someone were to refer to your Old Fella, that most definitely is your old mate.

This. More than any phrase. (And please OP, don't try to use Aussie slang. It'll sound ridiculous with an accent from not-here.)

Funny cos if you hear "You right, mate." It could mean the opposite.

Yeah the whole essence of the Melburnian pronounciation of the word is to remove the vowel in the second syllable for convenience. Any of those old school english words that have 100 vowels with half of them redacted in pronunciation operate this way. A lot of American expats formulate a new vowel in its place and remove their rhotic "R" which sounds really forced

"Nice one mate"

Like most Aussie phrases, it's all in the tone and context. Same thing will mean literal opposites depending on the execution

Alf Stewart's vocabulary: Strewth, Blimey, Stone the Crows, etc

I use it all the time! Along with “mole” and “bush pig” 🤣🤣, my kids hate it

Fair dinkum. Only politicians use it when they want to sound like one of us.

"rack off hairy legs"

When was this used in Perth? I reemeber seeing it on TV in the 1980s and being confused, thinkibg they were saying gross.

Hahahahaha my mum loooooves to drop hoo-roo

I noticed they say "for real life?" a lot.

both fries and crisps are called chips here, we tell the difference with context or if its unclear the person will say hot chippies. My american friends get irrationally annoyed about this fact for some reason. oh also we call bell peppers capsicum, I was 22 when I realised that bell peppers wasn't a spicy chilli and just the american word for capsicum

Footy...

Means Aussie Rules in Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania and Northern Territory.

Means Rugby League in Queensland, New South Wales and ACT.

Being from Brisbane, Bandit plays Rugby League.

I just remembered one episode they see a "bin chicken"...

Which is an Ibis.I think Bingo calls it a "Cheeky Ibis".

But most of these aren't used in the show.

Everything is taken from Australian slang. Some may be a bit more obscure than the others, but nothing is unique to the show

I'm not Australian but I'd like to submit my kids' favourite exclamation, "biscuits!", for consideration.

Um, both of those phrases were around a long time before Bluey.

Don't have any to add, but ' For real life' is a real saying. We used to say it as kids.

Am Australian, can confirm. We were all saying For Real Life and Dollarbux before Bluey

**Barney -- a fight or argument (originally rhyming slang, 'Barney Rubble' = 'trouble') **Bogan -- uncouth person like a redneck or a chav (for example, search for 'Trent from punchy' on YouTube), **Buckley's - short for Buckley's chance which basically means that you don't stand a chance (people will also say that you've got "close to Buckley's" or "Buckley's to none"), **Chuck a wobbly -- have a tantrum, **Fang it -- go really fast, usually refers to driving, **Pash -- kiss, make out, swap spit, play tonsil hockey, suck face, etc. **Scrub up -- get dressed/done up (for example, someone might say, "You scrub up alright", meaning that you look good, now that you've put some effort into your appearance.

I don't know what's common slang because I use it too much. I mentioned the work sook the other day and a Seppo didn't know what the fuck it was.

I said it meant whinge.

They didn't know what the fuck that meant either. Christ almighty.

Most often if someone calls you a "cunt" it means friend but being called "mate" means you've done something to annoy them

If you ever have any troubles just say “she’ll be right” and everything will be good

Yeah nah fuck yeah.

yeah nah

She'll be right. Although this is a sentence, not a phrase.

For a phrase, cactus. It means broken.

Run.. he’s gotta gun

Top 10 will always be featured in Dash Cams Australia (YT) 😆

Yeah nah.

Gday. No one says that anywhere else

This drives me crazy when people act like this isn't a thing! As a visitor for a few years, I noticed it pretty quickly and tried to always stay left, and now I'm basically glowering at anyone who is staying right and refusing to acknowledge that Australia is a keep-left-for-driving-AND-walking country.

I once came across an American bloke visiting Australia who had a flat battery in his rental car in a car park. I had jumper leads in my car so of course I just hooked them up so he could start the car.

He kept trying to give me money for it. I told him that wasn't necessary and that I was just helping him because he needed it, not because I wanted a tip. He seemed baffled haha.

I usually say loudly “you’re welcome”!!

Unique to Australia. Not a personal choice. People/apps who ask for tips here are wankers and looking to scam tourists.

“Keep the change” if paying with cash and you don’t want a heap of shrapnel.

But that is about it.

💯 comments like that make me so proud to be Aussie. Love you all 🇭🇲

I'm a bus driver. Maybe Sydney doesn't count as "Australia"?

It is great to see but we never used to do it decades ago in Perth anyway. Most also say 'hello' to the driver when getting on too.

Edited: added location.

There is a reason I've gotten nearly 60 up votes in 15 minutes. We hate tipping because it's not required. We pay our workers a liveable wage and we don't want tipping culture here when everything is already so expensive. It's an Australia wide opinion.

I always yell out "You're most welcome" and mutter arsehole under my breathe.
