G'day from the land Down Under—well, technically, Down South! Ever caught an American looking totally bewildered by an Aussie habit? Culture shock? As an Aussie expat living in the US, I’ve had my fair share of funny moments explaining our unique quirks to my American mates. In this video, I’m sharing the most bizarre Australian habits that leave Americans scratching their heads—and maybe even questioning reality!
Get ready for a deep dive into the weirdest Aussie customs: from chicken salt, abbreviating literally everything, our undying love for half flush toilets, to the mysterious world of slow Aussie internet speeds! I’ll spill the tea on the everyday things we Aussies do without a second thought, but that Americans find totally bonkers.
What you’ll discover in this video:
The art of abbreviating every word under the sun
Our coffee culture vs American coffee confusion
Clothes dryers and the hills hoist
Half flush toilet culture
Chicken salt or bust
Aussie PowerPoint switches
Slow internet speeds
and more!
Whether you’re an American curious about Aussie life, an expat missing home, or just obsessed with cultural quirks, you’re in for a treat (and a laugh)!
👇 Tell me in the comments: Which Aussie habit would totally weird you out? Or if you’re an Aussie, which American custom do YOU find strange?
