Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “the gift that keeps on giving.”

It sounds lovely, doesn’t it? Seeing the words ‘gift’ together with ‘giving’ sort of gives you a rush of good vibes, like the upcoming holidays!

Until you use the phrase with sarcasm.

Anyway, in today’s episode, I answer a question from IG username Zakkvv who asks what is the difference between ‘don’t need’ and ‘needn’t’.

I also crack a joke about gifts - oh, you’re going to love this one!

We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “the gift that keeps on giving”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the adorable Australian movie “Oddball”.

Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!

Welcome back to this weekly expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “call bullshit on something”.

This (light?) vulgar expression is getting thrown around in casual conversations and I bet you have an idea what it means.

You also might find it interesting as to how the expression came about!

I'll also answer this very-frequently-asked question from moozhy: What do you (Australians) do for Halloween?

Simple. Nothing! But listen up for a quick story about why Aussies don't celebrate Halloween.

We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “call bullshit on something”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the adorable Australian tv show for kids "Bluey".

Here's another weekend with my dad and me on the Aussie English podcast!

In today's Goss episode, we talk about an article I found saying that Gen Zers (and Millennials) refuse to answer phone calls.

Do you feel the same way, too? As the article implies, Gen Zers dislike answering phone calls because it feels intrusive.

We also talk about how odd it is for Gen Zers to prefer text messaging to let out their thoughts, spending several minutes typing, when calling someone will only take 30 seconds to breathe out everything they typed.

Could social media platforms be the reason the phone call culture is waning?

Hey, you guys! How's it going this week?

We went on a recent holiday at Inverloch so I got my dad Ian back on the podcast for another Goss episode.

Today's episode is about this brewing question among Australians: Should Australia now become a Republic?

You see, Australia has been having this difficulty on whether we switch to being a republic than being a Commonwealth.

And now that Queen Elizabeth II has passed, talks about Australia becoming a republic has come around again.

Listen in as we talk about when this movement started, and why we think it's more complicated than just electing a new president.

Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “do your head in”.

Does it sound like it's something painful, or even morbid? Obviously, it does have something to do with your 'head', but  it could be far from what you're thinking!

We will start off with a Q and A from Hadrz2 who asks if Aussies use other greetings besides "G'day".

There's also a quick joke about lipstick - nah, not a make up tutorial, but close!

We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “do your head in”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the classic Aussie movie Crocodile Dundee, starring Paul Hogan.

Remember, you can play back the audio so you can listen to the dialogue!

Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “all something'ed out”.

It's quite an unusual expression and can't really be 'Google'ed'. There, now you have an idea how this expression goes!

We will start off with a Q and A from Yaasiimo who asks if horse riding is an expensive sport in Australia. You 'bet' it is!

Besides the fact that you could end up spending a lot on just the betting aspect of it, listen in to know what it takes to care for horses.

I will also crack up a joke about horses.

We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “all something'ed out”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the true-to-life Aussie movie Chopper, starring Eric Bana.

Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!

Today’s expression is “a kick in the teeth”.

Just by reading the phrase makes you run your tongue across your teeth, doesn't it? Yes, the phrase does mean 'pain'!

We will start off with a question from Parissa Rezaei and she asks if going Republican is better than being a part of the Commonwealth for Australia.

You might expect a political opinion from me in answering this question but nah, there's nothing political about it, really.

Speaking of 'teeth', you get a 'teeth' joke today!

We will then break down the meaning of the words in the expression. There will also be example situations where you can use the expression “a kick in the teeth”.

And finally, don’t forget to download this episode’s FREE worksheet and listen to a clip from the Aussie musical movie Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.

Hey, you guys! How's it going this week?

I got my dad Ian Smissen back on the podcast today and we talk about Australians getting side hustles!

I found this article saying that a recent survey says that Aussies are getting into doing side jobs whilst having their full time day jobs.

We talk about whether these people are driven by the Australian economy, where prices for everything is sky-high at the moment, or whether they're getting on the new trend #QuietQuitting.

Quiet quitting means that an employee just does the minimum work he or she is expected of. And simply just not care for any progress.

We also talk about if people would try to do side hustles back in the day. Because making extra money on the side is different back in Dad's day than it is now.

Lastly, we talk about how people are seeing their side hustles. Is it really to get additional income come in? Or could it be a hobby they love doing that's starting to bring money in?

Welcome to this Sunday's Goss episode!

In today's episode, we talk about the new Australian 50 cent commemorative coin.

Yes, its actual value is just $0.50 but it currently on sale everywhere for about $12.50 -- 25 times its original value!

This is a limited edition 50 cent coin released by the Australian mint in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the ASD (Australian Signals Directorate).

The ASD is part of Australia's national security and they specialize in cyber-security. And part of their skill is figuring out codes.

On the new coin now is a neat design of letters and numbers that actually hides a message from the ASD. They even encouraged everyone to try figuring out its four levels of encryption.

Of course, the Internet had it figured out, fast.
