Exploring Australian and Irish Slang

NOTE: coarse language warning (although as I say in the video, if you clicked on a video about Australian and Irish slang, I feel as though you know what you're getting into. Enjoy!)

Things have been feeling a bit heavy lately with so much going on, so I thought I needed some lightness and maybe you could do with that too.

In preparation for my travels to Ireland, I've come across some wonderful slang. It also got me curious about Australian slang. So this video is a culmination of my favourite Australian and Irish slang words and phrases.

This is by no means an exhaustive list, just my favourites for various reasons. In re-watching the footage I also had many thoughts about how I could've explained the words better or more fully, but sure look it. Maybe I'll do a part 2.

Apologies again for the scuffed techy bits (forgot to calm my hair down too), I'm still experimenting with camera settings (and clearly this setting wasn't it but I can't be fucked re-filming).

Here's the translation for my Australian diminutive poem:
Jonathan is having an avocado with Sharon. Steven/Stephen is at the service station (or petrol station). Barry is swatting away mosquitos by the barbecue cooking up some breakfast. David has come back from McDonald’s looking a bit aggressive because it was very busy/full with a lot of annoying people/idiots. And Robert has just pulled up in his utility vehicle with some cans of alcohol from the bottle shop.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments or email me at [email protected].

Love,
Melissa

P.S. I can't believe I forgot the word cooked!
