Human Slang/Texting

So people have probably put everything there is on this subject out there, but just imagine what texting must be like. There'll probably be some form of text communication in the future, and my assumption is that humans will have only continued to shorten words.

Human-Jeff: So yk about the thing we're doing later?

Glenörg: Yk?

Jeff: Yeah

Glenörg: What word is this?

Jeff: Yk = you know

Glenörg: I don't know

Jeff: ?

Glenörg: What question are you asking me?

And so on. This, but with all of the text shortenings. An alien texts a human something, human goes "lmao" or "lol," at this point no questions are asked because this has been accepted as "just another human thing.™️"

I may have taught English on NHk (Japanese TV).

I think the #EiyudenChronicle translation team did an awesome job🇦🇺

Bizzo/Arvo/Servo

We like our Os at the end.

‘Reckon’ I didn’t realise I used so often until a French person pointed it out.

So what d’ya reckon? #Aussie

オージー英語🇦🇺 #百英雄伝

オージー英語なのながウケるw

色々なSNSで『これのどこがオージー英語なの？』

という問いがあったので、こちらにサラッと答えます。

まず「bizzo」 は「business」のこと。

オージー英語ではよく語尾に「o」をつけます。

例. Arvo —> afternoon

例. Servo —> service station

‘What did I tell ya?’

この「ya」も非常に良く使う。

(ゲーム、文字は英語に設定していて、ナレーションは日本語の声優さ��にしているので、これ読むだけでオージーのイントネーションが伝わって来る！！)

最後に「Reckon」。

これは、英語がネイティブでないヨーロッパの人に、『サラ良く使うね』、と言われてから気づき、他のオージーに聴いたら、確かにそうかもねとの結論。

#百英雄伝 の通訳者、非常にリサーチされてます！💪

言うまでもなく、ワニのキャラにこの表現と名前も🇦🇺

サラッとオージー英語、でした🤓

[infernal-insect-shaman]

with the horrified silence of a voice chat I am once again reminded that Australian slang is not universal.

[bookanimeart]

Alien translation software that learns English slang but doesn't realize that it's not "standard" English or the cultural context (like time) surrounding the slang and ends up with things like a diplomat saying "Warp drive is totes magoats the bee's knees, comrade!"

[jevilowo]

I've got the brainworms for Sniper the Sniper tee eff too and that has me being sillay over Australia

"Not an Australia fan in a Bluey way, but a Secret Alternative Option (sniper)"

"Australia is to me what Japan is to americans"

- My Brain

Um I'll try not to get too weird with it I remember vaguely when Bluey was Peak Popularity Australians were getting annoyed at how the amercains were behaving. So.

[egglygreg]

Here's a list of fun Australian-isms I've been collecting that I plan to sprinkle into my Aussie based fantasy story:

You'd better get a wriggle on

My dogs are barking (sore feet/toes)

Bloody beaut

Scarn on?

Cheeky mate

Flat out like a lizard drinking

Chook

Rock up

Tell him he's dreaming

Get decked

Karked it

Mad as a cut snake

[noizybreadstick]

I see this meme and wanna do something so bad but I’m Australian and that never works out.

Straight up Enver Gortash kicking back in the arvo with a plate of lamingtons and Arnotts bikkies. Ciggy hanging out of his mouth and a VB in his hand after being flat out all day cracking the shit over Ketheric being a cunt.

[lilartifex]

We have a lot of words for 'snake'.

[finniestoncrane]

I’m so sorry for completely taking up your inbox but oh my god Finnie. Digger being so turned on that his accent gets thicker and he just sounds like he’s speaking gibberish and you literally cannot understand a single thing he’s saying

khkjhsd you're not taking up anything please don't worry lmao like my blog is far from well-kept and aesthetically pleasing i'll throw forty ask replies out there in a row and only the strong and silly will survive lol

god i want to hear him start rambling and using slang i have never heard before, tell me of your chazzwozzers and malonga gilderchucks i am LISTENING

[tozettastone]

Australian slang of the day: "to carry on like a pork chop."

E.g., "He was mad about his bill and started carrying on like a pork chop about it." It is a phrase that compares someone making a fuss, complaining, etc, to the sputtering of a pork chop when it meets the hot surface of a frying pan. It is a derisive and condescending way to dismiss someone's tantrum as a little embarassing moment rather than a complaint of substance.

Cf. "chucking a wobbly."

[oinahgetfucked]

reblog if you've ever called this a snot-block

[libertea-and-icedcoffee]

New Bluey episodes are available to the non-australian audience and, for those who don't know: sometimes, they makes changes in the dialogue. Either for """"ethical"""" reasons (lol) and sometimes for cultural/language differences. in the episode Relax, they changed one line. Scene: Bandit (the dad) parks the car, ready to get his family and himself in the resort they are going to.

In the american version, Bandit says "Alright, super troopers, let the holiday begin."

In the australian version, he uses a different word to talk about his children. In autralia, this word has a connotation that is refered to call someone an idiot, silly. Very often used in an endearing way.

he says "alright dingleberries"

which

if you know

is a word use to refer to a specific type of piece of poop..

I guess it's one way to have Bandit literally say "Alright you little shits, let the holiday begin."
