In Australia, they like to shorten their words into cute little quirky quips. The first rule of speaking the lingo is: abbreviate everything (which is also the only rule).
“After smoko I might go down to the bowlo sarvo for a schnitty and bevvy with tommo. Then I’ll head back to the missus for din dins with the fam and watch some soapies on the telie. Hopefully on the way, I don’t get pulled over by the coppers cause I don’t ‘ave me rego.”
And in case you’re wondering, no this doesn’t mean they’re worried about getting pulled over by a metal pipe and being caught without tomato sauce.
Our English-speaking neighbors in the opposite hemisphere must always be in a rush because they trim a lot of their words. For example, bottle shop can become bottle-o, which is actually a little tough on the tongue compared to the original (though it sure is adorable).
This video will be your first language class that won’t test you on conjugating verbs. Instead, put your feet up, relax, and have a tinny:
