An expat has said her "childhood was a lie" after discovering the truth about a common Australian slang phrase when she moved Down Under.
Brittany Neff - who lives in Geelong, Victoria - has created a series of videos in which she lists "things she didn't know about Australia" before moving here in 2019.
In her latest, Britt talks about the phrase "throw some shrimp on the barbie" and that fact Australians don't actually say it.

"Living in America you'd always hear this one Australian slang, 'throw some shrimp on the barbie'," she said in a TikTok video.
