G'day you mob! Welcome to Aussie English. I'm your host Pete and my objective here is to teach you guys the English spoken down under. So whether you want to sound like a fair income Aussie or you just want to understand what the flippin' L we're on about when we're having a yarn, you've come to the right place. So sit back, grab a cupper and enjoy Aussie English. Let's go!
Dad, what's going on? Not much, please. Alright, Larakin. Number one, Larican Larakan. Do you know any Larricans? I do. Yeah? Yeah, several.
Cool. All right. Number two. A Larican is a um Usually a child through to young adult who is um has a propensity for misbehaviour, but not in a bad, illegal, evil way. It's just uh you know, he just messes around a bit and he's
fools around. So It has a legend apparently of coming from Larking Around. Yes. Being pronounced by Irish people as Larkin Around. And then it became Larrikan. Larrikan. Yeah, exactly. 'Cause they roll their R's. Yeah, Larkin. They they say them, they articulate them a little more than we do. Larkin. Becoming Larrikan. Yeah, so how would you use this in a sentence?
Um Oh dead. That guy's fooling around. Oh, he's just a larric and leave him alone. Yeah, it's kind of a a
lovable type. A lovable rogue. Like a dag or something right. Again, if you were angry at someone's daggy, it's No, but Dag is kind of used like affectionately with someone. With someone. You don't use Larry. You don't know. Yeah,
Larrakins Larrican's not it not insulting.
What is a “larrikin” and how is it used in Australian slang?
Yeah. That's it. Again, if you're a Larrican. If you're really angry with someone. And you called him a Larrakhan. She's a never never Laricans. I don't know if there's a Laracette. I don't think
Women are just more sensible than men, Dad. Exactly. I feel like yeah, if you try to offend someone by calling them a Larrican they just laugh in your face. Oh
jeez, you're a Larrican. You duffer. You duffer.
Strong words. Number
two, Mozzie. Mozzie? This one's a mosquito. It's eternal, right? It is. This one will never go away.
And I think from memory Mozzie Mozzie. An Ozzy mozzie? Mosquito is one of these interesting words, right? Where the origin of the name, I think it's either Spanish or Portuguese. Um where it's like small fly. Yeah, mosquito. From Spanish and Portuguese, meaning little fly, yeah, mosquito. From the fifteen eighties. Isn't that funny? So we get this mosca is like fly in Spanish and Portuguese, and itu, I guess, is the diminutive making it smaller. Yep.
And
And I think it it came from memory. It came when um Portuguese and Spanish got to um Southern Africa when they were exploring around the Cape of Good Hope.
Yeah, okay. And
there are lots of mosquitoes around down there in Southern Africa. And so they, you know suddenly the word they made up a word for all these little flies that I feel like if
we
were
given that job we would come up with something so much ruder for those that type of animal. Fucking
pest.
Come with wings. Number three. Uh not here to fuck spiders while we're getting rude while we're being
That
one that one's a
it's relatively modern. Uh it just means we're not here to mess around. And I'm not sure why fucking spiders is even an opportunity for messing around. It's
like
if If one were to attempt to have sexual intercourse with a spider, it would be less mucking around the than any other opportunity I could think of.
It's gonna end badly for both, probably more for the spider. Depends which sort of spider. Oh jeez. Yeah, either you need the world's biggest spider or the smallest man.
It's it's a i it it's it's one of those expressions that is just patently ridiculous. Yes. And that's the humor in it. And that's the humor in it. Yeah.
The only other one that I really know like this that that I heard recently and just pissed myself laughing. It was on ABC's You Can't Ask That. And I think it was about a it was about people who had ha nearly died. So this TV show is called Um You Can't Ask That and they effectively get, you know, people that have had shared experiences or the same sexuality or whatever and they Ask them questions, anonymous questions, right?
