Yes a television for sure also TV and Telly . I have heard the saying idiot box but really it's not normal for people to say that. |

Yeah we call it a television, usually just 'TV'. Occasionaly someone will call it an 'idiot box' although this would only be used as a term you say to someone who is watching too much TV, or the person doesn't like TV, so it's an 'idiot box'.
eg. "Stop watching that idiot box already" When really, the person means 'TV', but just calls it an idiot box because he/she doesn't like it because it makes you an 'idiot'.
In normal conversations and 99% of time time it is a 'TV', 'Television' or 'Telly'. |

Well, I call it:
TV or telly when I'm speaking.
Rarely "television" except when I'm writing formally.
eg. "Do you still want the TV?" |

The Queen

Never heard of the term before!! |

Nope we call it a microwave oven. |

we generally call it the telly or tv and use the term television when we're trying to sound intelligent!!
we refer to it as an "idiot box" when something stupid is on tv or if somebodies been watching it for too long but we rarely use that term. "turn off that idiot box!!"
In plain English us Aussies tend to make words or phrases up eg.G'day, Crikey, Hills Hoist (clothesline), Roo (Kangaroo), Croc (crocodile), Barbie (Barbeque), Snags (Sausages) etc.
Hope this could help!! |
