Question

Looking for nonverbal and verbal communication styles in Ausrtalia.?

Answer 1

yes bluntness is a strong part of our verbal  communication.

There is an australian expression my music teacher said in high school to me it was - "don't pull the wool over my eyes "

its a very oz thing to have said,and basically means don't try and talk c**p with me. Some older australians would have said "dont come the raw prawn".Basically all these things mean dont be a liar,dont be false,don't try and trick me, be blunt and true.

Truth or bluntness is the main feature of our communication and my favourite thing about being Australian.

Answer 2

Non verbal used to be two fingers pointed heavenward  which was a polite way of telling a person to go get  $%&#$%

Now it's been simplified to just the one finger but the meaning hasn't changed !

Verbal...there's no end to our imagination but most of it too crude to elaborate on here...suffice it to say Aussies  will never leave you  not knowing how you stand with them .

We are not subtle ...but that's part of our charm I guess !
