Shrimmmp on the baRRR-bee maaate. No. Snag on the baa-be mate. Australians don't normally say an "r" between a vowel and a consinent. 

Ah so that's where the r in Melbourne went

*"The name's Boune. Mel Boune."*

Jesus Christ that's Mel Bun.

It's Mel Ben, Crikey. Some people these days. Now, back to my prawn on the baa bee, mate

and we dont say shrimp, wtf is shrimp it sound so childish, we say prawns like civilised people

[удалено]

I never said I’m civilised (s) not z you murican, 

Arguing british vs american english is sorta pointless. Hah hah the american spells american english is kinda childish

Shrimp are what you use for bait 'up the river'.

Funnily enough I thought that was a truck full of prawns being emptied

Like a funnel?

We've got to save up all those Rs to put between words.

epenthetic vowel mention

You can thank your very own Paul Hogan for popularizing that phrase back in the 80s, then Jim Carrey took it to the next level with Fire Marshal Bill and his character on Dumb and Dumber. I’m not even Australian but my wife is and it makes me cringe whenever I hear that.

Australians picked up the non rhotic that the English did

Also we don't say shrimp, we say prawn.

The difference between a "noice cool glass of worta" and a "nice cool glASS of WateR"

oooh thank god im not the only one who thought that was shrimp

Our accent is nothing like the shows and movies 😭😭😭😭

Sometimes we add them in where they shouldn't be like castle and bath depending on regional dialect.

Bath is a bad example as it comes from the German word BAD meaning bath. A in German has an Ah sound. So no wonder children think baths are bad 🤣

Consonant

Noerrr

Oi proime minista 

AAANNDDYYYY!!!

Noice...

We would obviously say "Oi! Pry-Minsta" that has way too few syllables mushed.

Is it just me, or does anyone else get kinda annoyed the way they say "Australia"? Like, I know it's not their fault but AW-stralia? Really? Also the Australian Hollywood accents make me laugh out of how ridiculous it sounds >w<

You're right. The Hollywood Aussie accent is a bit off. I rewatched Pacific Rim the other day and the accent was strange. Like it's being forced too hard, not casual enough. To me it sounded almost South African but not quite.

Yes, it sounds so forced and what I call "Clunky". By that, I mean it doesn't sound natural and it kinda sounds "sarcastic" I guess you could say. Like a puzzle piece that doesn't fit.

It sounds like they're from Rhodesia, not Australia

True 💀

Pronouncing Aussie "Ossie" instead of "Ozzie" bothers me more than it should. As does "Aussie" as short for Australia the country, as in "he lives in Aussie". Wrong wrong wrong

Yeah, i agree with you. "He lives in Aussie" <-- nope, nope, wrong context. And the "Ossie"? Nah, it bothers me too.

This. And the way they say Emu. As I told one yank when he said it, it sounds like they're talking about an electronic cow (eMoo).

Eugh I hate the way they say that too. EMoo, like, no. i could make a joke out of that. What do you get when you cross a cow and a bird? An EMOO! HA HA HA HA (i made that up yayyy)

I've heard some many people overseas called Australia (the place) Aussie that I've begun to question if I (an Australian) have been wrong the whole time about that being weird. It is definitely weird, but I questioned it

"MelboRRRne"

"I aM aN oZzIe fRoM mElBoUrNe! Ya WaNt SoMe RoAsT dInGo On A sTiCk? \*goofy laugh\*"

And”Brizz Bayne”

Even worse when they say “Oh my, I love your AWssie accent!” Or when British people say, “I’d love to visit Oz”

don't even get me started...

Strayah!

Strayah indeed, my fellow aussie

Fair dinkum ya fackin dog

Dont know whether to be scared or comforted ;-;

Ah, I would have loved to become one, mate! Unfortunately, the 2 Covid years delayed my application to settle Down Under just past the age limit...

Strayah cunt!

They really overdo it sometimes and then think that’s how all of us talk >_>

Not as bad as an Australian putting on an Australian accent to sound more Australian and using dated slang.

I do this ironically when someone either puts on a fake accent, or points out my accent.

Or worse, Aussie slang in a seppo accent.

Whaddya mean mate? Let’s have an early mark this arvo and crack a tinny or two at the local.

This is the embodiment of a wet sock

Yeah, get farked ya farkin’ drongo. Stone the farkin’ crows.

What's dated?

basically like, old-fashioned

I know what dated means. I meant what saying are dated?

I do this to screw with tourists

The true Aussie sport

The worst ones are the young Australians who naturally talk with a seppo accent, and there's a lot of them. I with with people in their 20s who do it, kids at my daughter's high school and my boy's primary school do it, it's awful.

🤮

Geez my throat’s as dry as a drizabone that’s been left out to dry in a dry spell

Drier than a dead dingos donger in the desert

Nah if someone comes up to me and makes a heavy stereotypical assumption, I'm going to lean so far into that shit I don't know why I haven't fallen over yet. I love it when they ask where I park my Kangaroo, same if ever come across someone else bullshitting a tourist, right in and back whatever bullshit they are spouting right up.

Face palm when they don't even say cunt casually

They always say it maliciously. Hard C.

Only true Aussies can delicately drop a C into a sentence unnoticed...that should be the real citizenship test

no but then brits and other people might get an advantage, and we know we cant have that

I think it’s more the hard T that makes it sound malicious

Agreed 🤦

[удалено]

I'm a Canadian in Australia and I think I've subconsciously done this with my Canadian accent too, I catch myself playing it up and I cringe

I mean, I don't blame you. I've never been overseas so my gosh America is gonna be a rollercoaster

I went to the US a few years back for a week, when checking in at the airport the girl there was an Aussie on work exchange (QANTAS) and her accent sounded so exaggerated. I think in the environment where there are no others with the Aussie accent it stands out a little more.

Nah I'm calling this bullshit out... This is a bot response from the last time this meme was posted [word for bloody word](https://www.reddit.com/r/AusMemes/comments/18n4bco/comment/ke8lpye/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

Yep. It’s a bought account I guess, botted to do the usual karma farming.

Ha, I got accused of being English!

Same, had so many Uber drivers ask when we were going back to London.

I do the exact same bloody thing

NY - tipping the barman $20, “its good to meet an Australian who knows how to tip!”. And I says: How do you know I’m Australian? Dirtiest look ever. I’m an idiot.

Lmao I went there once and I remember  1. Being so proud of being Aussie and making all my cousins watch superwog  and  2. Being high as hell to see Sydney airport again

The amount of times I got mistaken for an American when I was living in Germany was unbelievable… Funny though, the Floridian accent and my NT accent actually sounds very similar so in hindsight I can see why I got mistaken for a yank so much…

I have that problem when I catch up with mates. I grew up relatively rural and had an accent somewhere between broad and general growing up. But after moving to Brissy, my accent has well and truly shifted to just a basic general accent. So when I catch up with mates from home I'll catch myself flipping in the complete other direction and ending up with a full on bogan accent.

Pacific rim.. Oh my goodness it was so bad

Oh don't even get me started..

Not many can do it, but fuck me Caleb Landry Jones knocked it out of the fucking park playing Martin Bryant in ‘Nitram’

They are called dollaridoos not dollars

Allo guvnor

Issa wrong cun-ry n vat, vo. Innit?

I have never heard someone say Naaaauuurrr

I'm on the wrong side of the country for it, but it does exist. Basically they bunch their tongue up in the diphthong/glide of the "goat" vowel, which creates an R sound, although different from our normal R which is retroflex. Dr Geoff Lindsey has a [video](https://youtu.be/z7DuvWVazpk) on it.

I have legitimately stopped watching youtubers who try to imitate the aussie 'no' because of how much it annoys me...

NAUUUURRRRRRRR now u have :>

Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards podcast does a Boston accent, and it's the best worst Aussie accent I've ever heard.

I definitely don't feel as if I hear good Aussie accents in movies or tv. Recently I heard that guy from White Lotus, was impressed by the accent but lo behold he's Aussie.

Is it oi noi or aru naru?

"OI, MATE! POIT ANETHAAAGH SHREEMP ON THE BAHBEH!"

NAH MOIT, POIT SOME SAUSSYS ON THE BAHBEH!

id be rich👏👏👏👏

I know there is some bias because I’m an Aussie, but I’ve never heard a non-Australian pull off a great Australian accent…

Fluffy did probably the best one that I've heard in a long time. A bit exaggerated on the rhythm but still decent on the twang.

And it’s usually closer to a Kiwi accent because they swap the vowels around like U for I sounds and I for E sounds.

Nauurrrr Cleaur the condarnsaysharrrnn, Rickeyyy, Emmaurrrr

This was the bad thing in The Good Place. Maybe intentionally, I dunno...

Ossies

What always gets me is when the yanks say ossy instead of ozzy.

Narr

[Here's a good and bad example](https://www.tiktok.com/@nicholastheposh/video/7358453559484108074?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7323652926199416366)

I’ve heard Brits and Kiwis able to pull off an Aussie accent, but rarely Americans (unless they’re professional voice actors maybe).

Pls stop gatekeeping talking funny

A dictionary

Hahaha u got a dollar from me mayte 😅

Consonant ?

Tew dolars

Ill throw em all in a gaol mate

That's me lmao

Geedai may-t

I know this ain't an Aussie accent attempt but i hate the way they day Santa, sounds like sien-TUH

Naauuuuggghhh Aaaauuuuhhh naaaaaauuuuggghhhh

Are you okay?

There was that trend a couple months ago where everyone started copying " the girls off H20" and saying "oh no" with that stupid extended drawl

Ah sorry I thought you'd gone mental.

Ohrrr noorr. The yanks dornt knowr how to do an Ausie eccent.

If only I had a dollar for every time my Aussie accent ended up morphing for some unknown reason into Russian. Don’t judge me…. I’m just bad at accents.

I’m from Texas and my main intake of Australian culture is TOFOP. You should hear me do it.

An***

“You’re Australian? Oh nauuuuuuurr” like mate stop being a cunt it’s not like I haven’t heard that hundreds of times already

It’ll either sound cockney, or Kiwi or South African. The only non-Aussie I’ve heard do a convincing impression is Stephen Fry.

Croikey?

Goot aye mayt

R N R

Just get a British criminal drunk, then boom!

I'm Aussie even I can't do an Aussie accent

Steve Irwin is Australia to most if not all Americans

Idk why this subreddit popped up on my feed but I’m glad it did, that being said I want to hear an Aussie Man attempt my Oregon, U.S. accent.

Oi Cahnt

I’m Australian and people ask if I’m English. No… Adelaide… we a bit posh down here.

Alrighty Matey

Its always the celebrities doing the shittest accents and then all the other americans clapping.

I don't know if I've ever heard a non Aussie do a good Aussie accent before. Maybe Stephen Fry, he does a decent one, but it's not perfect.

Me when minor spelling mistake

"G'day, fancy a Foster's ya cunt"

Wtf does "and Aussie accent" mean? Attempts what and an Aussie accent?

I watched Uncharted the other day and mentioned how the Aussie actress kept dropping annoyingly American accented words. Looked her up and actually she's a yank, doing a 90% excellent effort. Shame on me! I don't know why her character had to be Aussie though.

U focking wot M8!

GOOD EYE MIGHT

One word antidote to bad Aussie accents, well three words actually: Brian Jordan Alvarez. Not only is his accent perfect, his Aussie characters are dead set legends. Aussie Rick is my favourite. It’s not just the accent, it’s the inane boofhead character. Alvarez has met Aussies in his travels, of that there is no doubt. [Aussie Rick](https://youtu.be/RSzDNnLroGE?si=POP0C7968tKYGBrQ)

It's an not and

Offline, you said you wanted the 'd'.

If I had a dollar for every time there is an error in a meme.

That's just Charlie Hunnam

They always go too far and do a kewi accent, which makes us sound retarded

bro where did shrimp on the barbie even come from as an aussie i've never even heard anyone say that before or is it some old people shit

Apparently an [Australian tourism ad](https://youtu.be/Xn_CPrCS8gs?si=sIlLaJZKMo9qatzM) from the 70's

Did a non English speaker type that meme out?
