It's strange that in Australia they give some things the American name. But others the English way.

Saloon car here is a sedan
Estate car is a station wagon
Motorway is a freeway
Booze is liquor.

But it's bonnet not hood and boot not trunk, and petrol not gas, and wardrobe not closet.

Some are distinctly Aussie though.
Tea break is Smoko
Petrol station is Servo
Dustbinman is Garbo
Afternoon is Arvo


Basically everything ends in O. :)

Dont forget...

Ambo
Abbo
Barby ( ie )
Davo
Stevo
Johno ( even longer than the actual name they're trying to abbreviate....)
Robbo ( Not even Bob ffs )

Honestly.....they took the language with them, the least they could do is respect it. Pfft.

In return you Brits will heretofore refer to the fruit that is used to make ketchup as "tomatoes" with the "a" being a long "a".

Whats ketchup?

Aha!!!
In our house, the choice is " Do you want brown or red sauce?"

What this thread clearly shows is that us brits have moved on. The Yankee doodles on the other hand are firmly stuck in the 1860's.

Just stop bastardising everything and speak English. We didn’t come over there years ago to educate you for no reason. We have enough Americanisms already over here, next thing is the right to bear arms :-(

Even their right to bear arms is nonsense,it simply means they have a right to wear T-shirts.

Been in Yanksville 12 years now and still refuse to give up the Queens / King's English.

On all my reports or emails at work I refuse to remove the U in words such as in colour and keep the S there instead of a Z such as organisation. And it's Zed not fucking Zee.

English is a language, can't you read......

Yes, whoever watched Zee cars as a kid.

Everything’s upside down in Australia

Fuck that, give the small Island inbreds nothing. It’s not as if there’s any uniform language over there anyway, fifty miles in one direction or another and there’s a whole new way of grunting

British people saying “Gen Zee” when talking about young people does my fucking skull in.

I see you know Merseyside and Yorkshire well.

If the inclusion of this isn't an instantly bannable offenCe then I don't know what the fuck is.

I'm tempted to respond but find that shyness can stop you from doing all the things in life that you'd like to.

My sympathies.

I tell you fuckers what -- we'll do whatever you ask if you kidnap Donald Trump and hold him in Strangeways until he kicks the bucket. Deal?
