As someone who has spent years traversing the vast and diverse landscapes of our planet, I’ve come to appreciate the rich tapestry of languages and dialects that make our world a vibrant mosaic. However, every now and then, I stumble upon expressions so uniquely local that they leave me scratching my head in bewilderment.
Hello!
Welcome to
On TikTok, with a following of 88,000, Josiah posted a brief video that seemed to be filmed inside a Costco store
The affable influencer revealed he was surprised with how Australians frequently use the word ‘keen’ to issue enthusiasm or excitement.
Hello there!
If someone asks you, “Hey, do you want to go to the movies?” instead of saying something like “Yes, I’m interested” or “Count me in,” they might respond with “keen.” This term seems to be more commonly used among some circles, while others might say “down” or express their agreement in a similar way
Josiah was also at a loss to explain the elongated version of the Aussie slang term.
‘Sometimes Australians will say: “I’m keen as mustard, bro,” he said with a wry, questioning grin.
Josiah’s Antipodean followers were quick to educate him on local linguistics.
Hello,
Hello, Welcome
Hello!
‘Pretty sure this is from ’50’s ’60s USA TV, they said. ‘I’m peachy keen Marcia Marcia Marcia.’
One pedantic fan saw further nuance in the discussion though, arguing that keen does not necessarily mean down.
‘Keen is eager, but not a definite “yes”‘, they wrote.
In 2023, Josiah provoked numerous Australians by incorrectly pronouncing the cities of Melbourne and Canberra in a video that sparked anger
As Josiah passed through the Australian Capital Territory, he opted to call it ‘ACT’ rather than its full name and expressed his confusion about how a city that seemingly everyone is unfamiliar with serves as Australia’s capital
Besides that, he mistakenly said “Mell-born” for Melbourne, which should be “Mel-bin”, and called Canberra “Cane-berr-ah” when it is actually pronounced “Can-brah”
