I think a lot of this stuff is neither correct nor incorrect, it's just dialect.

I had a fucking bizarre moment in a supermarket once. I was looking at my shopping list and talking to myself. I'd written down "zucchini" because that's what I wanted, in the language I grew up speaking.

Some women overheard me talking to myself and told me to fuck off out of the country destroying it with my Americanisms.

I'm so desperately sorry my country got this vegetables from the Italians not the French. I shall apply my motherfucking sack cloth and I absolutely deserved to be shouted at

There are a whole ton of American ways of spelling and pronouncing English words that are (in my opinion) better than ours.

I believe they also have far better words for some things and I wonder if that is because it’s a ‘newer’ language. I know it started as English from English (and other European) settlers, but it seems as though they used the opportunity to embrace a new perspective.

I had many a conversation with a friend who was American for over 20 years making fun over how the changed our words .usually in jest and in superior tone based on the fact we are the older country .

I remember one time I look up a word sadly I can't remember which

it was. But it turned out they were

using the original word and it was

us that had changed us that had changed it here . but Its fun to jest

back and forth . and ofcourse we

got the Aussie's to also have go at that have ripped off and bastardies and used words from UK and USA

Cheer. It was renamed from a cheese maker's name in 2021. Obviously things mean different things in different dialects, and a lot of names have been changed in Australia to reflect our more global world and show sensitivity to diverse groups.

If a comedian, last week, is still trying to make hay, shocking people over things that have been fixed, I'd agree, that is horrendous

Language does indeed involve over time. One of my favourite sweets, Redskins, also changed its name, because of social pressure.

I'm not sure what this has to do with dialect? It's an issue, but it's a separate one.

The American football team from Washington DC had to do this, too. They’re now the Commanders. Sounds weird but I totally get the need.

Just think Aussies aren't as PC about language. There's a brand of cider made by Dickens and the adverts are hilarious but so unPC. A guy advertising the drink to females if, ' She'd like a Dickens Cider'!!! It's puerile but funny and wouldn't be allowed here x

There's a subset of Australians who get off on irreverence, but outside of some specific circumstances, most people are pretty respectful of difference. Those who aren't are like bigots everywhere and can be discarded as irrelevant and attention seeking.

Yes. In British or Australian English "fanny" means vagina. (Less common in Australia) So "fanny pack" sounds like a vagina pocket.

The American "fanny pack" is called a "bum bag" in Australia and the UK.

If an American said "bum bag", it might mean "a bag carried by a homeless person"

In the famous Australian song "Waltzing Matilda", a homeless traveller (a "swag man") carries a "swag" around with him. So American "bum bag" would be "swag" in archaic Australian English.

Swag in my English would be some kind of contraband, like money nicked from a bank or something else valuable like that. Not just ordinary possessions.

Beans on toast is a quick tea when you're knackered. With cheese on top. Or instant pizza (aka toast with tomato ketchup and cheese on top).
