What do you say?

[Innuendo]

Filum, love it!! I got relations from the South Coast Nsw who say it that way too. You know the Monaro (Mon Air Oh) district

The old man was Armidale then Sydney and then South Coast so guess that's where he watched his filums. Mon-air-oh is supposedly correct. Mon-ar-oh stuck!

What grinds my gears is the covered area behind the house it's a pergola, not a bloody (per-goat-ter). or the garage, not (gar- age).

Per-gol-a vs pur-guh-luh I here this on USA TV shows. I have not heard Per-goat-ter. But maybe a pagoda "puh-goh-duh"

In car speak, I've noticed that blower is not often recognised anymore, it seems to just be supercharger now.

I hadn't noticed, but I will be listening for that now.

I ..... we did an exercise using the word 'beer'. He was correct, i say 'be-ah' and cant easily force a hard r at the end of the word.

I have noticed that with Victorian's with the word "here" they (maybe not all) say "he-ah" where as I'd say "h-ear".

Some tv people refer to Bathurst as Bath-hurst? I’ve only ever known it as Bathurst. Apparently the lounge I sit on to watch tv is now called a couch? Another Americanism.

[Innuendo]

It's like most towns, the pronunciation is normally different to what people expect. It's an old English thing so you know they're not locals. Victorian's (but not limited to) including Brocky have/had a fail when pronouncing Bathurst. I remember Jeremy Clarkson calling it Bath (as in Bath room) Hurst. Also heard Penrith pronounced Pen-reeth (how the British would say it) of course the Penrith locals pronounce it Pen-rif. It's called lounge in Australia and only Australia really and we put them in our lounge room. Fancy having a couch room or a sofa room - ridiculous!

Its like we on this side of the planet pronounce the word Derby
Where you guys over the other side pronounce it Darby but still spell it Derby wtf ��

[Innuendo]

Derby "dur-bee" American. But to be fair I say Derby.
Derby "dahr-bee" British. Again to confuse like in the name Derbyshire = "dahr-bi-sheer"

Rodeo "roh-dee-oh"
Rodeo "roh-dey-oh"

I would be surprised if most, if not all, people pronounced Canowindra wrong if they'd never heard the way the locals say it

And Cudal.

Locally Cassilis causes grief.

ROFL I often say Cano-win-dra as a joke around here. Gee, the locals go off if you use it there! Can-ow-in-dra is more how they like it.

Then there is a whole new language across the ditch. They seem to have a bit of difficulty pronouncing vowels compared to what us Aussies are used to.

Not wrong about that!

And Cudal.

Cue-dal and I hear Cue-dell

Locally Cassilis causes grief.

Not sure I've heard of it but I'll try "Cas-sill-is" probably wrong?

New people visiting Wollongong "Wool-on-gong" struggle with suburbs Bulli "Bull-eye", Unanderra "You-nan-derra" and Wonoona "Woo-noon-ah" other suburbs that also get them Thirroul and Towradgi.

How about "Lucknow" near Orange.

I noticed on a market site a pair of “Genuine Holden Fender Protectors” for sale? The things mechanics throw over the front guards while servicing your car. Growing up with two panel beaters in the family I have only known them as guards, fenders is another Americanism.
