Petty station? The only Australian I've heard say that is this guy.

It's a servo.

[krishnanjunior]

This is very first time I heard "petty station " for Australia 🇦🇺. Normally it's called 'servo' which means a service station. Sometimes called petrol station.

[shaunmckenzie]

Never ever heard of 'petty station' in Australia wtf. More common is servo, short for service station.

[ueokqit]

I live in Australia and over here ‘Servo’ is said more than ‘Petty Station’

[Geoskan]

I'm from New South Wales too and we say "lift" as well as "elevator". I've never heard anyone abbreviate "petrol station" to "petty" station, I do hear "servo" (short for "service station") a lot, though. Could be a "bogan" term, lol - (ask Ollie what a "bogan" is) 🤣 Oh, and "fizzy drink"?? C'mon, Ollie, it's "soft drink".

Thank a million for this incredible lesson. Without you guys I don't think I would have improved my English at all. You guys are the best:)

Thank you Ethan for being such a gracious host to include our cousins from across both ponds to have some fun with the varieties of our common language. I would like to add the reason why we as Americans call the rear compartment of the car 'trunk' has to do with the design of our vehicles back in the early 1900s. Literally, a trunk was attached to the rear for the purpose of carrying things such as suitcases (which you'd mentioned in the clip) and other objects for the trips. Most important of all, it was fun and friendly for all to enjoy. Thanks again!

[hazmathzal]

Hands down, hats off: this channel is the best and I am really luck to be one of your student. Your guys are fantastic:)

I'm currently having a breakdown from the AU English. Ollie is getting quite a bit of things wrong, or he is just skipping the other names we call stuff.

[sarzz]

I’m Australian and we call it soft drink never called it fizzy drink 🥤 and we say servo for a petrol station

[ZeBoy]

I’m Aussie from Melbourne I’ve never heard of a petrol station called a ‘petty station’ might be a Sydney thing don’t call it this in Melbourne people won’t get it.

In Melbourne it’s usually called a ‘servo’ which is short for service station.

As for fizzy drinks we usually just use the brand name... also soft drink will work.

Words acceptable for the toilet, the dunny, the shitter, the shit can, the loo, the can, the john...

I think this is a thing, you’re always told Australian English is all the same or there’s like only three different types, that’s not true at all, different regions, cities, states have different lingo what works for Sydney may not work in Melbourne, Adelaide, Perth or Brisbane.

[distant_sounds]

The third one is a servo in Australia. C'mon Ollie, get it right :P

[sokdara]

You guys so funny 🤣 especially my new coach from Australia 😂

[robd]

Older Australians would call it a lift, not an elevator

[masonkahler]

3:10 mate how can you call that a petty station i've never heard been called that me whole life and im a full blown aussie. The correct term is a "servo"

[demazejr]

You should invite Bob The Canadian, so, 4 different accents: British, American, Canadian and Australian...that will be awesome lol
