Calling All Australianers...Australiandians...Australians?

o_voipme · 06-13-2005, 02:22 PM

I'm going to be faking an Australian this weekend at the bar, so if there are any key phrases I need to know or any specifics about Australia than any real Australian would know, let me know. I'm gonna spend like my entire week at work studying Russel Crowe and Nicole Kidman interviews.

G'day mate

Throw a few shrimp on the barby

Uhh, crikey!

Yeah I got no idea.

Everything Crocodile Dundee has ever said can be taken as true Australian speech and mannerisms. I'm not even Australian and I know this.

Ah! I even mentioned this last night. I need to get this on DVD this week. Or download it from somewhere. Keep 'em coming, this fake accent just won't create itself.

If you haven't already watched some Cell block H then watch that for some classic aussie slang.

That's bonza mite, ya bloody ripper!

Of course don't forget the ultimate Aussie movie, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

o_cruor · 06-13-2005, 07:13 PM

And you can't forget Steve Irwin, genuine australian extraordinaire.

Crikey, that crocodile had a snap at me.

o_sobe green · 06-13-2005, 07:42 PM

Get drunk and try for a british accent. Instant Austrailian

Call her Sheila, no matter what her name is. Aussies love that, from what I've heard. :)

o_cruor · 06-14-2005, 02:14 AM

You could allways have a look at this one for some pointers:

Some phrases have been missed:

"Maybe a dingo ate your baby." said by Elane with a strong Ausie accent in an early Seinfield episode: http://www.moviewavs.com/cgi-bin/tvw...eld=sdingo.wav

Waltzing Matilda was mentioned in the slang website someone posted. It's an Australian folk song. Try to get a chorus of Watzing Matilda going in the bar. Some Americans know it as well. Depends on the calibur of your pub: http://www.nla.gov.au/epubs/waltzingmatilda/

I've traveled all over the world, and nothing quite compares to Australia. Beautiful country, beautiful people. I highly recomend visiting the real thing if you get the opportunity.

o_meisteh · 06-14-2005, 05:28 AM

yeah refer to chicks as 'sheilas' and call guys 'mate'.

o_lt.hinkle · 06-14-2005, 06:29 AM

)

LMAO! The Crocodile Hunter!

"Look at the head on that beer mate! Isn't she beeeaaaauuutiful!"

As he cautiously lifts the beer to his mouth: "You're okay mate....you're okay....easy shiela..."

Takes a gulp "Wow! Did you see that!..." then babbles on for a few minutes about the more important attributes of the beer.
