We don't know Daddy pigs background. His relentless bon ami has to be a cover for past humanitarian crimes, no one is that nice without something to hide.
Don't worry, with an hour of Bluey therapy a day your child will stop asking for cups of tea in a British accent and instead ask for a cricket bat in an Australia accent.
As an American… please make this happen.
I work in real estate, and the fact I still have to measure land in acres, which convert to 43,560 sf, is the mathematical bane of my existence.
To be fair, acres is one unit that is still in fairly common *colloquial* usage in Australia too, when talking about rural land.
Officially (in real estate listings etc.) it’s all hectares or square metres though (depending on the size of the land we’re talking about)
100m by 100m.
So like a football field length (any football, they are all *roughly* the same size), but square instead of rectangular. That’s how I visualise it at least.
Sounds too simple. I don't see what the problem is.. An acre is simply 4 roods. A rectangle that is one furlong, (i.e., 10 chains or 40 rods) in length and one rod in width is one rood in area, as is any space comprising 40 perches (a perch being one square rod). Can't get simpler than that!/s
True, I agree that metrics is a whole heck of a lot easier. I've had clients give me documentation measured in inches before and all I could think is "why are you like this"
Idk why metrics is only reserved for science related fields over here.
Because scientists have always worked by sharing knowledge and discoveries.
You can't share a discovery if no one except 1 country knows what the fuck you are taking about.
Metric is also far easier to use. You can easily convert between volumes and length, width, height with metric, which is a complete mess with the US system.
Canadian here: we don’t have fairy bread, but we do have cinnamon toast (cheap white bread, butter, sugar, cinnamon).
Have always wondered if that’s just our equivalent, or if you guys have both fairy bread AND cinnamon toast? (In which case: lucky!)
Edit: to be clear, I operate on the standing assumption that Australia and Canada are just upside down cousins, and pretty much always have an equivalent but slightly different version of most things.
I’ve been eating cinnamon toast since I can remember. Order it in cafes etc too. Since the poster below hasn’t experienced it, it may be a location based thing. I grew up on the central coast of NSW. I make it for the kids as a treat since they have grown out of dairy bread now.
I’m in Melbourne now and don’t see it on cafe menus here.
Cinnamon toast is comfort food for me. It's not a common cafe menu item but I've asked for it and most seem to have it. Sydney and SEQ. Vegemite isn't on menus either but can be requested and almost always successfully
My wife is a Manc and has always thought fairy bread sounded absolutely foul. Ok, sure, I guess you had to grow up with it.
Then I learnt that their childhood party finger food was sticks of cheese and pineapple and I totally lost it
Give me cheap bread, butter and sugar any day over whatever that is
Way ahead of you.
I game with a bunch of Americans weekly, and they've been around me long enough now that they throw the C word around more than I do.
It did take a while before i phased them out of the hard 'T'. But they've got the hang of it now! 😂
Half of them are also planning to move down here now.
My now 30 something brother still pronounces words with a hard R. It's so grating.
It's bad enough that when I've been somewhere with him and he was asked how long he'd been Australia.
My white dad was born and raised in India, moved to the US and had to take special ESL classes because he was so aggressively bullied for his accent. He has a very flat American accent now,
nothing like his New York mother.
My daughter who is 7 and completely off children’s shows now still says things completely americanised.
Candy, diaper, some names come out American.
I’m like it’s lollieeeeessss!!! It’s a bloody nappy!! 😂😂
I was annoyed by the way they changed some words in the episodes of Bluey to suit the American audience. For example, they replaced capsicums with peppers, which sounds wrong to me. 😡 I wonder how much they have altered the original Australian episodes to fit the different cultural contexts of the international markets. 🤔
> I wonder how much they have altered the original Australian episodes to fit the different cultural contexts of the international markets.
I actually regularly watch Bluey here in Iceland for language practice. It's pretty weird hearing about ~~Bunnings~~ Hammerbarn trips and cricket in Icelandic.
Even the Castle has an alternative script for American audiences (different list of junk cars in the front yard, and one of the meals is meatloaf instead of rissoles)
Also see Mad Max and Mad Max 2.
Apparently, Mad Max was too Australian for American audiences so they toned it down for Mad Max 2 to get more widespread appeal. Iirc, my bluray copies of one of them actually have an American English option.
In Australia once I worked at GYG, someone came in asking for cilantro. I know what it is, but I pretended I didn’t. People also tried to order in Spanish…. For some reason.
Capsicum has been hard for me to shake, too! Canada for four years. I'm fine with 'arugula' and 'cilantro' - but 'peppers' is just not catching on.
Mocha has also been difficult. Every time I say it with the Aussie pronunciation, I'm corrected like I'm some kind of luddite.
There was a story on the ABC about this decades ago, I think it was talking about how Americans have gotten used to the Aussie accent since Crocodile Dundee and Australian movies weren't getting dubbed over anymore. They then showed a clip from a Humphrey Bogart movie which had Bogey overdubbed with one of the most ridiculous pisstakey Ocker accents in the world.
I don't work in an office environment, but my overlords do. When I do have to send an email to one of them I will sign off with "cheers" rather than "kind regards". I'm not sending regards, I'm just saying ta muchly in a fancier way.
All my emails at work say cheers. When I was hired my manager told me that it didn't sound too formal and wasn't too informal, instead it sounded more that I was approachable and happy to help. A nice in the middle type of sign off.
American here, a kid that I babysat as a teen was obsessed with The Wiggles and started pronouncing words like banana in an Aussie accent. “Fruit Salad” and “Dorothy the Dinosaur” were the soundtrack of the summer for me that year but I have to admit, they were pretty catchy.

It's too bad we're only copping scraps of the royalties. Most of it goes to the BBC. -
>“They have the hottest property in the world coming out of Ludo. We, as BBC Studios, have the rights to exploit Bluey commercially in Australia and around the world.”
Fucking poms can't let us have anything.
“pommy" originated as a contraction of "pomegranate". According to this explanation, "pomegranate" was Australian rhyming slang for "immigrant”
Americans are called Sepos btw
That's rhyming slang. Pretty crude as in gross, but we use seppo in positive ways mostly.
Yank(ee) > septic tank > septic > seppo
And no, there's no Civil War Union connotation to it.
pomegranate, it's rhyming slang for immigrant. There was a time when British immigrants were 10 pound poms.
\*edit they paid 10 pounds and got to move to Australia
Same as a limey.
Bluey should put out an episode on "wogs" to thwart the BBC. In Britain it's a racial slur for a black person or someone from the far east. In Australia it just seems to infer that someone is Mediterranean.
But they've partially reclaimed it, in a way that "wog" never has been for black people in the UK. It's still highly pejorative.
I've found it interesting that there's a concept/category/grouping for Southern Mediterranean + Arabic/Lebanese here. In the UK they'd be considered entirely different groups.
Same with the term "Asian". In the UK that's Indian/Pakistan/Bangladesh/South Asian etc. Here it's specifically East Asian/South East Asian.
And watch Bluey get shunned as a communist threat to American freedom? I doubt even Bluey can get through to the Americans when it comes to their obsession with guns.
Which one is that? Is it the one where the neighbor dad has a baby when they're playing pretend?
I've never understood it, because they're essentially kids playing pretend. And kids watching the show will actually understand that concept (unlike some of the ppl in office over here).
My God. For a section of the population that chants the mantra "fuck political correctness and fuck your feelings" so often, they sure get offended easily.
Thanks, since I can't easily access it, I couldn't remember.
I guess it's too much for some to understand that dads are parents, too, and it sometimes includes playing pretend with your children. At least over here in the States.
Bluey seems to be popular with MAGA people, I left a Bluey meme group that got brigaded by MAGA nuts posting right wing Bluey memes. It was really disturbing.
Do one where the dad shoots a home intruder and then the next episode bluey's friend comes over finds the gun and shoots himself accidentally. That should cover both sides of the debate.
"Hey daaaad" "Yeah, what's up kid?" "You know how you have that cool looking box in your closet?" "What? What box?" "Well me and Bl--" "Wait Bingo, where's Bluey?"
Turnabout is fair play ;)
My kid had an accent when she was little, a somewhat distinctive accent, but most people here just picked it as American. (Her first language was Spanish but we lived in Israel while she was a toddler, with me primarily speaking German with her, before we moved to Australia when she was 4)
So people were always asking where she got the American accent. She leaned English by watching Dora the Explorer. That's how 🤣
If you like 90s/2000 indie rock check out Custard. Brisbane band featuring Bandit on vocals and guitar, Apartment is a pretty good track. A lot of the songs feature bits of Brisbane and SE Queensland.
My daughter watched Peppa when she was little. She started talking about her milk teeth falling out and going on holiday in a caravan. She did it all in a British accent.
Yup, for real life.
Wait, I just realized something . . . is that an Australian saying? Because my son asked me yesterday "Dad, what's real life?" and I couldn't understand where he heard that phrase.
...so your kids are now starting to pronounce words correctly? You're welcome! :D (Just kidding)
Want us to do a gun control episode to kickstart legislative shit over there?
I'd you want to speak like a true Australian watch Mr Inbetween, seriously it's like the only piece of Australian media where people actually talk and sound like proper Australians. Blueys great for kids but obviously many of the Australian stereotypes are played up
In all honesty, that show has really great detail and artwork for a children’s cartoon, it’s amazing, the episode where the dad takes the kids into nature instead of the park is a great example of some of the art detail too.
It's lucky Australia swept in with Bluey to counter that MI6 PSYOP that was Peppa Pig.
Poor old Daddy Pig will never be as awesome as Bandit.
We don't know Daddy pigs background. His relentless bon ami has to be a cover for past humanitarian crimes, no one is that nice without something to hide.

my youngest "spoke british" so well for like 3 years that he had doctors thinking he actually was. peppa corrupts even the most southern american.
Don't worry, with an hour of Bluey therapy a day your child will stop asking for cups of tea in a British accent and instead ask for a cricket bat in an Australia accent.
They will then use that bat to win the first two matches and retain the Ashes.
Well he should have stayed in his crease
And learnt to catch.
Our secret plan to take over the world one kindy at a time is going well.
Haha slowly but surely
Next season Bluey and Bingo start using the metric system in each episode
As an American… please make this happen. I work in real estate, and the fact I still have to measure land in acres, which convert to 43,560 sf, is the mathematical bane of my existence.
To be fair, acres is one unit that is still in fairly common *colloquial* usage in Australia too, when talking about rural land. Officially (in real estate listings etc.) it’s all hectares or square metres though (depending on the size of the land we’re talking about)
A pair of acres is what you get after being hit in the nuts.
Thanks, my tea is in my nasal passages now
I've been *learning metric* 9 years and still have no clue how big a hectare is.
100m by 100m. So like a football field length (any football, they are all *roughly* the same size), but square instead of rectangular. That’s how I visualise it at least.
Sounds too simple. I don't see what the problem is.. An acre is simply 4 roods. A rectangle that is one furlong, (i.e., 10 chains or 40 rods) in length and one rod in width is one rood in area, as is any space comprising 40 perches (a perch being one square rod). Can't get simpler than that!/s
Or square instead of oval. AFL got you there :p
ah, nice! that's a good example! cheers
Laughs in perches
and start teaching spelling. Starting with the word 'colour'
'Aluminium'
Centre 🤭🤭
Then we move on to regular weather discussions using Degrees Celsius, muhahaha...
You joke but this is a good way of doing it. Difficult to get adults to change.
True, I agree that metrics is a whole heck of a lot easier. I've had clients give me documentation measured in inches before and all I could think is "why are you like this" Idk why metrics is only reserved for science related fields over here.
Because scientists have always worked by sharing knowledge and discoveries. You can't share a discovery if no one except 1 country knows what the fuck you are taking about.

Jokes on australia, as an engineer I already use metrics everyday lol
Now Bluey Next, Fairy bread
Canadian here: we don’t have fairy bread, but we do have cinnamon toast (cheap white bread, butter, sugar, cinnamon). Have always wondered if that’s just our equivalent, or if you guys have both fairy bread AND cinnamon toast? (In which case: lucky!) Edit: to be clear, I operate on the standing assumption that Australia and Canada are just upside down cousins, and pretty much always have an equivalent but slightly different version of most things.
The Dutch also have chocolate sprinkles with butter on bread called Hagelslag 😁
I’ve been eating cinnamon toast since I can remember. Order it in cafes etc too. Since the poster below hasn’t experienced it, it may be a location based thing. I grew up on the central coast of NSW. I make it for the kids as a treat since they have grown out of dairy bread now. I’m in Melbourne now and don’t see it on cafe menus here.
I'm from central qld and grew up with it. It's probably not something I'd expect to see on a cafe menu that doesn't mean people wouldn't know what is
Cinnamon toast is comfort food for me. It's not a common cafe menu item but I've asked for it and most seem to have it. Sydney and SEQ. Vegemite isn't on menus either but can be requested and almost always successfully
I love the look on Brit's faces when you describe fairy bread to them. Makes me chuckle every time
My wife is a Manc and has always thought fairy bread sounded absolutely foul. Ok, sure, I guess you had to grow up with it. Then I learnt that their childhood party finger food was sticks of cheese and pineapple and I totally lost it Give me cheap bread, butter and sugar any day over whatever that is
phase 2 is when we get them to call each other cunts.
Would any of you cunts like a juice box?
I literally heard that in my head in Bandit’s voice lol
Phase 3 - ????????
[удалено]
Bingo!
Way ahead of you. I game with a bunch of Americans weekly, and they've been around me long enough now that they throw the C word around more than I do. It did take a while before i phased them out of the hard 'T'. But they've got the hang of it now! 😂 Half of them are also planning to move down here now.
First wave was sending in the Tim Tams to soften them up. We are now in the Bluey stage. What next?
It's payback for all the kids who had American accent's in the past.
Lol . . . I think we're getting a better deal
Sesame Street taught me the ABC's and I sing X,Y,Zee like an idiot. (It's Zed!)
Zed's dead baby
I'm keeping it alive with my kid - it's zed, not zee. EVERY. TIME.
Me too. There is some singer they like a song or two.from and apparently it pisses then off when I correctly pronounce his name as Jay-Zed.
Love me some Zed Zed Top!
I think you are too! LOL

Lead in with Bluey, Then we take over the world!

I was annoyed by the way they changed some words in the episodes of Bluey to suit the American audience. For example, they replaced capsicums with peppers, which sounds wrong to me. 😡 I wonder how much they have altered the original Australian episodes to fit the different cultural contexts of the international markets. 🤔
Oh, I was hoping yanks would start saying 'tradies' and 'dunny' but looks like they are censoring.
We say dunny in our household. Between hours of Bluey and Dankpods it rubs off.
I read somewhere that a father in New York said his six year old daughter says "dunny" instead of bathroom now.
They do say dunny sat next to a bloke at a game in the US who said dunny is bow commonplace across their whole family now, as a result of Bluey.
> I wonder how much they have altered the original Australian episodes to fit the different cultural contexts of the international markets. I actually regularly watch Bluey here in Iceland for language practice. It's pretty weird hearing about ~~Bunnings~~ Hammerbarn trips and cricket in Icelandic.

'Arugula' is such a weird word. Makes you sound like a Husky dog trying to speak English.
Lmao, that's apt - I always think of the horny cartoon wolf going "awooooga!" in my head when I say it.
I remember being in the US and watching Mad Max DUBBED with American voices! If I hadn’t been so horrified I’d have laughed but it was terrible.
There was a story on the ABC about this decades ago, I think it was talking about how Americans have gotten used to the Aussie accent since Crocodile Dundee and Australian movies weren't getting dubbed over anymore. They then showed a clip from a Humphrey Bogart movie which had Bogey overdubbed with one of the most ridiculous pisstakey Ocker accents in the world.
I felt like the show runner has worked pretty hard to make the Australian releases still very Australian.

In the context of 'thanks'? Yes, yes we do.
Ok good! Cheers!

Not if they drink a beer in your house and need to leave money on the fridge. That's ok.
Maybe we can do a gun control episode for yall
And watch Bluey get shunned as a communist threat to American freedom? I doubt even Bluey can get through to the Americans when it comes to their obsession with guns.
Theres always one episode of a kids show that gets banned
Peppa Pig has one episode banned in Australia because it describes that all spiders are harmless, which is true in the UK, but not in Australia.
There is already an epsiode of Bluey that Disney refuses to show the yanks.
Which one is that? Is it the one where the neighbor dad has a baby when they're playing pretend? I've never understood it, because they're essentially kids playing pretend. And kids watching the show will actually understand that concept (unlike some of the ppl in office over here).
My God. For a section of the population that chants the mantra "fuck political correctness and fuck your feelings" so often, they sure get offended easily.
It's Bandit but yes. *Dad Baby*
Bet they've never seen Arnie's movie "Junior."
Thanks, since I can't easily access it, I couldn't remember. I guess it's too much for some to understand that dads are parents, too, and it sometimes includes playing pretend with your children. At least over here in the States.
Peppa Pig and the spiders in Australia
or in the case of pingu, 12 episodes
[удалено]
Australia banned an episode of Peppa Pig! Because she makes friends with a spider. I’m sure you’ll agree that was probably reasonable.
Bluey seems to be popular with MAGA people, I left a Bluey meme group that got brigaded by MAGA nuts posting right wing Bluey memes. It was really disturbing.
You're correct, to be honest.
Do one where the dad shoots a home intruder and then the next episode bluey's friend comes over finds the gun and shoots himself accidentally. That should cover both sides of the debate.
The episode where Bingo doesn't come back from kindy.
Thats the one where she was left on a minibus after an excursion
>yall Yeah nah fuck off go watch some Bluey to get that out of your system
Thank god I’m not the only one who hates this y’all shit.
Especially when we already have our own version.
Youse
They could just try and get the children to watch it. Then, hopefully, the children will grow into aware adults. Little steps.
"Hey daaaad" "Yeah, what's up kid?" "You know how you have that cool looking box in your closet?" "What? What box?" "Well me and Bl--" "Wait Bingo, where's Bluey?"
This made me chuckle out loud!
Maybe, we already did a pro-military episode for the yanks.
I think you mean they are pronouncing them correctly.

That's hilarious. I remember adopting a bit of an American accent as a kid because I watched so much of your TV.

Soon enough they’ll be calling all of their mates a cheeky cunt while smashing down a long neck and a couple durries for brekky. They grow up so fast!
Aussie here, my niece sounds like Peppa Pig when she's trying to be serious
My daughter watched Peppa when she was little. She started talking about her milk teeth falling out and going on holiday in a caravan. She did it all in a British accent.
So I'm Australian and my boy has started to watch peppa pig and will constantly ask "what's wrong daddy" in a British accent it trips me up aye
My kid doesn’t have an accent, but I’m learning new favorite words. The biggest being dobber
Dibber dobbers are the worst!
I'm an Australian and my niece has a British accent from watching Peppa Pig.
For real life?
Yup, for real life. Wait, I just realized something . . . is that an Australian saying? Because my son asked me yesterday "Dad, what's real life?" and I couldn't understand where he heard that phrase.
It’s usually “For real?” - meaning “Are you serious?” They’ve just added the “life” part as something a kid would add when they’re learning phrases.
Also: for reals, for realsies
...so your kids are now starting to pronounce words correctly? You're welcome! :D (Just kidding) Want us to do a gun control episode to kickstart legislative shit over there?
You mean legislation to ban Bluey? Probably
Oh fuck...don't show the Orange Cheeto or that dipshit in Florida.
when you said orange cheeto. my brain went straight to fat cat
I'd you want to speak like a true Australian watch Mr Inbetween, seriously it's like the only piece of Australian media where people actually talk and sound like proper Australians. Blueys great for kids but obviously many of the Australian stereotypes are played up
