If you think you've mastered English, think again – because Australian slang is a whole different language of its own.
A lighthearted video making the rounds online shows a Malaysian learning classic Aussie slang from an adorable Australian girl, and the exchange is as wholesome as it is hilarious. Just when you think familiar words mean exactly what they sound like, she drops terms like "barbie" and "snag," leaving him visibly stunned.
Spoiler alert: she's not talking about dolls or mystery items.
In Australia, a "barbie" refers to a barbecue, while a "snag" is a sausage – staples of any true-blue Aussie gathering. The girl confidently explains each term with charm and patience, turning the moment into a fun mini language lesson that viewers can't get enough of.
The clip has resonated with many online, especially those who've experienced culture shock despite speaking the same language. It's a reminder that English comes with countless local flavours – and that learning them is half the fun.
So, be honest – could you guess what "barbie" and "snag" really mean?
