What’s funny is most Americans like Australians way more than pretty much every other nationality 😂

[u/cymorg12 → u/Ok_Expression6800]

Mine keeps saying “no worries” after fixing everything like it’s a life philosophy.

[u/Jedimaster996 → u/cymorg12]

...I'm now realizing Australia may have rubbed-off on me more than I thought. This is my go-to for everything. 

[u/Few-Gas3143 → u/Jedimaster996]

Well if an Australian is rubbing off on you, that means he likes you.

Hahaha in nz and aus “no worries” is like the most casual thing to say

[u/MeltedChocolate24 → u/KeyTill1975]

I hear it all the time in the US idk what these people are on about

[u/fortnite_battleass → u/MeltedChocolate24]

It does come from Australia originally (1960s iirc), but through an interchange of culture, time, and the magic of the internet, shit spreads.

[u/ONVollertsen → u/cymorg12]

I have a buddy who says it after fucking up. Like wdym "no worries". Be worried! Oh and he is not Australian.

[u/ZephkielAU → u/ONVollertsen]

Poser Aussie. He's supposed to say "she'll be right" when things are going to fuck up or have been.

[u/bara_tone → u/cymorg12]

Nurries mate

No wukkas.

[u/DrunkenPalmTree → u/Ok_Expression6800]

The list of my favorite coworkers and my Aussie coworkers is the same list

[u/rogercopernicus → u/Ok_Expression6800]

I lived with an Australian guy in college. He would always call Americans Fat Pigs and Seppos (short for septic tank). 

Honestly Great guy. 

[u/SuitableKey5140 → u/rogercopernicus]

Seppo also is a play on words cos yank and tank sound the same and theres the correlation back to seppo as yanks are 'full of shit'

[u/spunkybooster → u/Ok_Expression6800]

I work with an Australian guy, he insists he's from New Zealand but I think i can tell the difference.

[u/Doctor_Boombastic → u/spunkybooster]

It's easy. Australians will say it like, 'where's the car', but a Kiwi will say it like, 'where's the car'.

[u/SP_UAS → u/Doctor_Boombastic]

"Oi, whehhhs tha cahhh?" vs "Ey bro, wiiis thu cuh?"

[u/Doctor_Boombastic → u/SP_UAS]

I noticed the little translate icon, so I clicked it. No regrets.

[u/brownieson → u/Doctor_Boombastic]

That is incredible.

[u/nizari-spirit → u/SP_UAS]

Why is this so accurate lmaooo. Kiwis speak all tight and up top, Aussies are all drawn out.

Play DND with a lady from Australia who works/ed in an exotic animal hospital. She’s insane and I love her.

[u/NectarOfTheBussy → u/Ok_Expression6800]

The Australian lady that cut my hair this week was the highlight of my month

[u/MildlyAggravated → u/Salty_Definition_550]

In my experience this is pretty true, I don't think I've ever had a negative thought about Australia.

[u/BrbFlippinInfinCoins → u/MildlyAggravated]

I think it is the accent. They always sound like they're in a humorous mood

[u/Shermans_ghost1864 → u/BrbFlippinInfinCoins]

I once heard an interesting (and serious) theory that the broad Australian accent is basically British English modified by heavy drinking.

[u/Skore_Smogon → u/Shermans_ghost1864]

To me it sounds like an English accent spoken through a face squinting in the sun.

[u/Axon_Zshow → u/Skore_Smogon]

Tbf, that checks out. Australia gets several times the sunlight that England does.

[u/ItsYrYr → u/Shermans_ghost1864]

I thought that the British accent was already British English modified by heavy drinking.

[u/Wd91 → u/Shermans_ghost1864]

Should probably stop paying attention to whoever put that theory forward

[u/Maximo_0se → u/MildlyAggravated]

About the people? Lovely.

About the place? The gigantic pit of hot death with sprinkling of venomous creatures around the edges? No. No thank you very much.

[u/Rhomya → u/Maximo_0se]

You would think Australians and Americans would bond over having a plethora of deadly fauna

[u/Never_Go_Full_Gonk → u/Rhomya]

Yeah, the American southwest is just as deadly lmao. Grew up there and even the plants try to kill you.

[u/Mightbeagoat4 → u/Never_Go_Full_Gonk]

Anywhere with moose... moose kill or maim a fair amount of people every year. More than bears/wolves/mountain lions combined.

Also grizzly bears. Those scare the shit out of me.

[u/Party-Entertainer504 → u/Mightbeagoat4]

The scary part about moose is how silent the bastards are. I saw one a few years ago silently trot through 2 feet of crunchy snow. It made as much sound as a small to medium dog slowly walking despite making a horse look tiny.

[u/Krieghund → u/Rhomya]

Yeah, Australia is the only place Americans are willing to admit is more deadly than the USA.

[u/InternationalFish809 → u/Krieghund]

Idk.. I saw a documentary about Somalia. It was equal parts sad and terrifying. 

[u/It_Just_Exploded → u/InternationalFish809]

I think i watched the same documentary, before it even ended i was like, "Ok, lets just talk all the people into immigrating somewhere else then nuke that whole place from orbit."

[u/doodleBooty → u/Maximo_0se]

Lmao I'd say the us is more of a death pit. Yes we have some of the most dangerous spider/snakes and we have the salt water crocodile. However the US has alligators grizzly bears, fucking MOOSE that would bulldoze you if you encountered it on the wrong day, then there's mountain lions and shit I wouldn't want to mess with a buffalo either.

[u/Key-Contest-2879 → u/doodleBooty]

Fair assessment. But your spiders and snakes are in a different league than ours, according to (checks notes)…memes.

[u/thatshoneybear → u/Key-Contest-2879]

I've never had a moose under my blanket.

[u/trueblue862 → u/doodleBooty]

Shhhh, let them think Australia is dangerous, it keeps most of them away.

[u/doodleBooty → u/trueblue862]

Well....the drop bears do balance the scales

[u/gdex86 → u/doodleBooty]

I love explaining to folks that moose are fucking horrifying.

"It's just a bigger deer."

"No a moose is a deer after 13 years of steroids and 15 years of I don't give a fuck. A moose is to deer is what a buffalo is to a cow."

"Why would I be scared of buffalo"

"My sweet summer child."

[u/Secret-Ad-7909 → u/gdex86]

Cows have good disposition thanks to centuries of domestic breeding but they absolutely have the capability to fuck you up.

[u/Initial_Row_6400 → u/Maximo_0se]

Don’t forget the great white sharks

[u/Electronic-Map7529 → u/MildlyAggravated]

History would like to have a few words about that... But in general, in regards to the people, I agree.

[u/IHaveNeverBeenOk → u/Salty_Definition_550]

The generic Australian demeanor is very endearing to Americans. I'm not sure why, but it is.

[u/The-Senate-Palpy → u/IHaveNeverBeenOk]

Our 2 major exposures are Steve Irwin and H20 Just Add Water. Of course americans love 🇦🇺

[u/I_travel_ze_world → u/The-Senate-Palpy]

Crocodile Dundee got 2 movies with a bunch of funny quotes and Outback's blooming onion is pretty damn good (I know they're posers though)

[u/BenjaminWah → u/The-Senate-Palpy]

You must not have children, because the exposure is Bluey

[u/PeterNippelstein → u/IHaveNeverBeenOk]

Theyre quite similar to us in a lot of ways. Theyre from a huge country that's way too hot, they used to be British, they love barbecue, theyre loud and outspoken, and they fucked over their native people.

[u/brownieson → u/PeterNippelstein]

As an Australian, I can’t argue with any of that.

[u/Gold_Telephone_7192 → u/IHaveNeverBeenOk]

Probably because it’s like 80% the same as our culture and way of interacting, but a little more loose and casual. So basically exactly like Americans on vacation lol

[u/captain_cheeto → u/Salty_Definition_550]

The nicknames they give people are the best, if it doesn't have an O at the end, then you're missing out on Aussie hospo

Edit: After some friendly and delightful new information from the wonderful Aussies, I changed hospitality to hospo because it sounds more fun

[u/cunningspyder → u/captain_cheeto]

O or an 'AZZA'. Dazza (Darren. Kazza(Karen). Bazza(Barry). And that's just the three at my work!

[u/Penguin4x4 → u/Salty_Definition_550]

When my dad was in the Navy on shore leave in Australia he said people were going out of their way to shake his hand, show him their favorite bar and buy him a drink. Essentially turned into a marathon pub crawl from the sounds of it.

[u/Phytanic → u/Penguin4x4]

This also was my experience. Freshly after getting off the plane and walking near out hotel some Aussies overheard us speaking like Americans and immediately came over and invited us for some rounds, was amazing and had a blast.

[u/whose_a_wotsit → u/Salty_Definition_550]

Aussie here. It's both our media playing us off against each other. Our media makes it out like you guys don't like us either.

It's a bit silly. But otherwise it's all a bit of banter.

Well done on the win. The world cup has been fun to watch. I like seeing how passionate you guys are.

[u/Expensive-Swan-9553 → u/whose_a_wotsit]

Americans fucking love Australians. It’s all the fun of a Brit with none of the baggage

[u/-thecheesus- → u/whose_a_wotsit]

That's nuts to hear. Americans have like nothing but good vibes toward Aussies.

The accent alone is so tickling we oughtta have professionals to deliver terrible news in it to soften the blow

[u/iratedolphin → u/Salty_Definition_550]

They're like our international cousins. Both of us were initially British colonies set up during peak racism. Both of us treated the natives poorly. Both of us have automotive fixation due to hundreds of miles of nothing in our respective countries. I am still a little pissed that they threw Rupert Murdoch our way.

[u/TheElderGodsSmile → u/iratedolphin]

We didn't throw him anywhere, he escaped after fucking up our media landscape first.

He's an invasive example of arseholious australis and we welcome you to treat him as such.

[u/ODB_Dirt_Dog_ItsFTC → u/iratedolphin]

Georgia even started out as a sort of penal colony where debtors were sent to alleviate the overcrowding in British prisons, with the exception that Georgia was founded to be a more rehabilitative colony while Australia was more punitive in nature.

[u/Appropriate-Log8506 → u/Salty_Definition_550]

An average American hates around 50% of other Americans.

[u/The_Celtic_Chemist → u/Appropriate-Log8506]

Americans: See, we have so much in common!

[u/JTB696699 → u/CannabisCanoe]

Steve Irwin and Mick Dundee made Australia look awesome and taught us what a knife is.

[u/mobius_sp → u/JTB696699]

What’s funny is that Mick Dundee’s knife was a large Bowie knife… invented and popularized in the US.

[u/Pilgrimfox → u/Salty_Definition_550]

I like the Swiss more than everyone else

Fun fact. The Swiss have their entire country rigged to explode and per capita they have more gun owners than the US...Switzerland has been neutral for over 200 years but they are prepared to fuck up anyone who tries to pick a fight with them

[u/simbared → u/Pilgrimfox]

I think their explodable infrastrucure has been dismantled.

Also, don't forget they all carry those Swiss Army knives from Victorinox. /s

[u/McMeanx2 → u/Pilgrimfox]

What the fuck does being Neutral even mean? They’re just complacent. That and the country is stupid expensive the views were alright I’ve seen better in Colorado.

I'm from Portland and had to go to Seattle for a work trip, as part of my presentation I said I was from Portland and people boo'd!

I was so confused because portlanders LOVE seattleites. We consider Seattle our younger more successful sister. When I told my Portland group chat everyone else was confused as well except for the one person from Seattle who said: "Portland now is like what Seattle was in 90's and we're jealous"

[u/Azell414 → u/StiffDoodleNoodle]

wdym the 40 year old white woman with a phd is breakdancing that decided to do an interpretive dance of all of australian history instead of breakdancing was really bad at actually dancing

[u/must_not_forget_pwd → u/Azell414]

Don't forget she also complained about the under-representation of women in breakdancing. Apparently she knew plenty of talented women. Decided to sell that all out for a free trip to France.

[u/Brawndo91 → u/Azell414]

She could have admitted that maybe she just isn't that good at breakdancing and maybe people would cut her some slack, but instead she doubled down and said everyone else was doing the same moves and she was being original. I guess she was right about being original, but if she went up there and just stood still, that would technically be original, but it would not be very good breakdancing.

[u/Xenthor267 → u/CrimsonAllah]

We made fun of her the most lmao

[u/Strange-Bee5626 → u/Xenthor267]

To be fair, I think Australians were mocking her, too. Most people were since her "performance" was laughably embarrassing!

[u/Short-Psychology3479 → u/Strange-Bee5626]

Yes we were!

[u/BringMeTheBoreWorms → u/Strange-Bee5626]

Oh that was very embarrassing for us.

[u/haleboy44 → u/Xenthor267]

Didn't she get the spot over a technicality in how the points were earned?

[u/Wakez11 → u/haleboy44]

Wasn't there some corruption where her husband had a prominent position in what ever organization picked out the athletes for the Olympic Games.

[u/haleboy44 → u/Wakez11]

Yeah I just searched it. Turns out she just had to beat out 14 other people in one tournament to get her spot. It was said that a lot of the better competitors couldn't afford to make the trip for that tourney so she didnt have any real competition.

[u/gunhandsknifepenis → u/haleboy44]

who would have thought when you take a form of dancing commonly done in low-income urban areas and make the qualifying competition a high-cost of entry event participants must travel for, you prevent the truly talented practitioners from even being considered :O

As an Aus I’ve genuinely loved every American I’ve met during my 15 years of backpacking. Very similar humour, values, and vibe to us.

Yea nah, Americans are generally nice. I've got nothing against you.

Your government and billionaire class though... can fuck right off.

[u/LUFC_hippo → u/SeaArmy45]

The people voted for that government… twice

[u/fongletto]

To be fair, we only despise the ones on the internet and the politics. I think the internet brings out the worst in people, and there's just a lot of Americans on the internet... and a lot of politics.

Everyone I've ever met (literally every single one) has loved America when they traveled there. And we don't treat American tourists any different to anyone else.

[u/Terrible_Truth → u/fongletto]

The US is the third most populous country in the world, only behind the giants India and China. So even 1% of that is a lot of jerks lmao.

But yeah I’ve really only heard good things about Australians. I’d love to go to Perth one day, it’s basically as far away from home as possible for me.

[u/SonderlingDelGado → u/Terrible_Truth]

I've lived in Perth. Can confirm, it's far away. From pretty much everything. Also, a bonza place to live.

[u/DCLXXV → u/SonderlingDelGado]

Not far enough if you ask me

[u/iratedolphin → u/fongletto]

Had a lot of discussion about this with a roommate of mine in college (he was Dutch). Some of the complaints were amusing, like "why do you dress the same?". We do? "Yeah, like the couples will match" ... ... ooooohhhh. Oh. Oh no, we hate those people too. He also had a stockpile of American jokes. Which were fine, but they had the same punchline (you get it? Americans only speak English).

[u/Euphoric_Switch_337]

Americans generally like other countries much more than other countries like the US.

[u/Alarming_Dream_7837]

As an American, I’ve come to accept that pretty much every single other country hates our guts. And while I do completely understand where the sourness comes from, it does make me sad. There are so, so many of us here who are the antithesis to the stereotypical American. I wish more people outside the states knew that about us.

Edit: Seeing lots of folks saying it’s silly for me to feel sad. Don’t take that out of context. I’m sad that the Americans, who are nothing like the stereotype, are forgotten or “unicorns.” Whether you personally like me or not isn’t relevant.

[u/iNeedToFindANewName → u/Alarming_Dream_7837]

Do Aussies really dislike Americans? When I was Active Duty, I always had a good time working with allies except Australians... because we'd have a great time! Sense of humor, general toughness, ability to work hard and party hard, it's like all the things US Soldiers value exemplified.

[u/Trollslayer0104 → u/CrabGravity]

No, we don't hate Americans. I've worked with many inside and outside the military. There are times when Australians get very frustrated with America, but we don't hate Americans. 

Anyway, it's just a meme.

[u/osotogard → u/CrabGravity]

No Aussies don’t hate Americans. I served with Americans and met plenty while travelling, always happy to have a beer with us and talk shit, instant friends. Reddit isn’t a reflection of real people. The vast majority of Australians know America is our greatest ally.

Second greatest ally, I think we’d go to war if anyone proper fucked with New Zealand

[u/TheRealJuicy27 → u/osotogard]

Yeah I dont know what everyone is else on about. I grew up in Syd and noone here hates America

[u/sneradicus → u/osotogard]

I ran into some Aussies in Tokyo a few years back. Bought all the boys Yamazaki. We drank and told stories of home. There’s something to be said for the affinity between Texans and Australians especially.

I remember our rivalry with them in the Summer Olympics for the swimming category

Still on top 😌

[u/Rhomya → u/Professional_Sky818]

lol, our “rivalry” got quiet pretty fast once Katie Ledecky started to swim.

Once the break dancing started, it shriveled up and died lol

[u/xaba0]

I think this could be any country vs the usa

[u/Nice-Key-9034]

All the coolest Australians I know are from New Zealand

[u/CaptainPrower]

Everyone hates the United States right now, for a variety of reasons.

[u/Azell414]

sure sure sure so like why are you guys in pine gap and can you leave?

[u/Scarvexx]

You made fuel double in cost so you would lose a war. You elect madmen and pedophiles. Why would we like you?

[u/Gastlyperformance]

Omg Americans are getting involved in World Cup banter. This is not a drill, I repeat this is NOT a drill

[u/Specialist_Tune2038]

Everyone hates the USA

[u/jackricotta]

So hostile with it😭

Like don’t make us bring up some of the shit YOUR government was getting up to

[u/boznic]

Any American who has travelled to Australia would know this isn’t true. We get along very well with Americans.

Also I feel like Australian banter can get misinterpreted given how aggressive it can sound, but it’s rarely serious, just a bit of playful shit stirring.

[u/GreyerGrey]

At this point no one likes the US as a concept or political entity.

[u/Steinbulls]

We are mad at you for fucking up petrol prices for no reason.

[u/TimmyVee73]

I thought it was just in swimming.

[u/delicious_sunlight]

Australians make fun of America sometimes, but to say we despise them is pretty dumb

[u/unkownracoon]

At this point, can't you switch the australien flag with a world map? Not many placed left....

[u/ApplePuzzleheaded446]

This reminds me of England and Germany. I grew up in Britain, and the English would often speak of the fierce rivalry that they have with the Germans.

Then I moved to Germany and... nobody even seemed to be aware of any rivalry.

[u/whatauniqueusername]

It's mainly a vibe thing. Americans tend to be obnoxious and we do not vibe with that. Also their new King is fucking world politics and making it hard to afford life
