Australian Accents

I got strange looks all the time when I say pants here.. Saying your pants a dirty has a whole different meaning on this side of the world.

Strangely enough since being out of oz for over 2 years now, I'm usually able to tell where another aussie is from by there accent, I never thought it varied that mush besides like Country/City accent, but I was wrong...
 
Yeah I heard it means undies.

So what do different Australian accents sound like to you, deeCee?

Yeah I was stunned when I met a girl from Darwin when I was in Colombia and she picked where I was born from my accent (in Victoria), I haven't even lived there for nearly fifteen years.
 
I noticed like the speed people talk and slang that they use..

I remember going around ireland on this tour, and there was the other aussie from country queensland, and I had to translate for him to the rest of the people on the tour cause he constantly used rhyming slang
 
I have an elderly relative who constantly talks in rhymming slang and other Australianisms

Yesterday he told me that something was 'as thin as a boarding house scrape of butter'

... and he always calls me either China or Old Sock; apparently both mean friend

House of Hanover definitely German Vanth, that was the insinuation :)

In regards to Prince Phillip

"BORN ON JUNE 10, 1921, on the Greek island of Corfu, Prince Philip was the only son of Prince Andrew of Greece. The family was Greek in name only; they were of Danish and German background. They were plopped onto the Greek throne in the interests of British foreign policy. In 1947, Philip married Princess Elizabeth, now the Queen, to whom he was related. Both are descendants of Queen Victoria and of King Christian IX of Denmark.

He became a British citizen in 1947 and renounced his royal Greek title"

You gotta love those royals :\
