Jessica Berry Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 When I first lived here I used to forget and greet my Aussie friends with an "ay up" and they would look at me like I was speaking a foreign language (well I suppose I was!) then I had to remind myself that I was saying hello to my Aussie friends not my pommie friends. I have an Aussie colleague (with English heritage) and when I started working with him one day out of the blue he said "ay up" to me and it did make me laugh and also made me think of 'home'.

MARYROSE02 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Even I don't understand that Geordie stuff and I was born in South Shields. I find Aussies easier to understand than Pommies from north of London! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's women not poms When I first lived here I used to forget and greet my Aussie friends with an "ay up" and they would look at me like I was speaking a foreign language (well I suppose I was!) then I had to remind myself that I was saying hello to my Aussie friends not my pommie friends. I have an Aussie colleague (with English heritage) and when I started working with him one day out of the blue he said "ay up" to me and it did make me laugh and also made me think of 'home'. YES! I haven't even moved quite yet, and I already have had arguments about this. "You alright?" as a greeting. "Why do you keep asking me if I'm feeling ok, do I look not ok? What's wrong?" Nothing, this is how we say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLoadedDog Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 The Aussies don't understand the expression "Here's one I made earlier.." because they didn't have Blue Peter growing up (like most of us English-raised kids did!) Yes we do. Well, we do if we were watching after-school TV in the 70s or 80s. I've heard of Blue Peter, but no idea of its format, but we had the Curiosity Show, which was a couple of young, nerdy science teacher types with bad haircuts who would do experiments of the "get mum or dad to help you with the scissors" variety. They may or may not have knocked off "here's one I prepared earlier" from the British show, but they certainly used it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
