Australia's English is better than both of them U_U

If you know your British history well enough. Originally, the aboriginals occupied Australia. The British conquered and abolished all previous aboriginal laws void, stating "no mans land" totally disregarding the aborigines which lived in forests and hadn't built any infrastructure.

Lets skip to many years later, soldiers from here are forced to enlist into the army to fight against the vietnamese in the Vietnam war. But all this said, some of the british soldiers start making up their own slang words and accents of speaking.

Thus, is what the Australian accent is. We didn't want to be stuck with that ridiculous accent which is so posh. And as far as american accent goes, that sounds like a cow coughing :p

You do realize we use both USA and UK English at times, but we tend to use UK English. Then obviously of course we have our own slang, like everyone does. lol.

No, that is just simple slang. We use both.

T.V programs don't always tell the full truth.
Bugger doesn't mean disappointment, either. It's an acceptable way of saying f*ck here, or saying sh*t.
"You little bugger" or "Bugger".
We use more of the UK spelling and pronouncing of things, compared to the USA way. We don't use the UK slang, I do sometimes, cause I enjoy saying them.
