Now this is going to be a bit different from my usual blog entries... But as a writer, I love words. Big words, little words, serious words and funny words. I also love it when you can twist words. So here's a little video I'd like to share with you, filled to the brim with Aussie humour... Keep an eye on the pictures, they might help you out a bit.
Is it scary to all of you non-Australian people that I understood the majority of what just happened? Fair dinkum, I understood a lot of that.
Happy 2013 from Australia.
- Bonnee.

ReplyDeleteLol :) Glad you don't think it's too scary.
Deleteand I have to say that you all have like the awesomest words!!!! Come on, Jumbuck, how cool does that sound!)))
ReplyDeleteHaha it's just another word for sheep. Baah :)
Deleteya I know, but it sounds so cool!!! lol
DeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR to you!! :) I love the Aussie lingo and accent! :)
ReplyDelete:) Happy New Year Sharon. I didn't know we had such a noticeable accent or lingo until I went to New Zealand...
DeleteLoved it. So funny. I've been to Australia and had very close Aussie friends while I taught in Indoneisa. So yeah, got most of that.
ReplyDeleteNice work :) Ooh you taught Indonesian? I used to learned it in high-school for a few years. Can't say I was much good at it, but it was still fun.
Deletehahaha very aussie :P nice! happy new year bonnee, what are your new years resolutions?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year EJ :) My resolutions are to write heaps, study hard (UNIVERSITY, WOO!!!!) and don't get fat. What are yours?
Deletenice resolutions, i dont really have any certain ones ;) but basically mine are the same as yours, just not the uni bit. anyway my main one is to finish writing 'anywhere but here' the story im currently working on. :D but im not usually very good at sticking with resolutions so hahaha :D
DeleteHaha well if it makes you feel any better, most people aren't, especially with the normal resolutions like 'lose weight' and 'be more social and less addicted to facebook'. Good luck finishing 'Anywhere but Here' :) It's definitely an achievable goal.
Deletehaha yeah i know :3 a lot of people usually give up their resolutions and dont stick them out but im going to try my hardest to keep this one going all year, or until i finish it anyway! and hey thanks, i hope it is too :)
DeleteHe has a distintive accent and slang and the audience is roaring with laugther, but I didn't understand what was going on. I guess you need to live in Australia to appreciate it. Maybe if I can read the script of what he's saying, I can get some of the jokes. But it's always nice to have something Aussie here. Happy new Year !
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling a lot of people wouldn't get it, but that's why I wanted to share. You'd definitely have to live here to get a lot of the jokes. Happy New Year, Giora!
DeleteI seriously need to go to Australia one of these years. One of my cousins live there. That's an incentive, right?
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing new year, Bonnee! :)
Oh that is definitely an incentive :) Come visit!
DeleteHappy New Year, David!
