American parents have revealed they're confused by some of the Aussie slang terms used on the ABC children's TV show Bluey.
One phrase used on the show is 'bin chicken', which means nothing to Americans.
'Bin chicken' refers to the Australian white ibis, which are often seen rummaging through rubbish bins in cities and are considered an eyesore.

Produced in Queensland, Bluey uses many Brisbane locations as inspiration.
These include well-known landmarks such as the Wheel of Brisbane, an observation platform and the South Bank Parklands, a major tourist destination.
Launched in 2018 on the ABC, Bluey was soon hailed for its refreshing characters - particularly Bandit as a capable and astute father as opposed to a bumbling background character common in kids' programming.
It also earned rave reviews from critics and parents alike, who applauded its good-natured storylines and riffs on modern parenting.
One of the few kids' shows enjoyed by parents and children in equal measure, Bluey would eventually go on to win a string of awards worldwide, including a Kids Emmy in 2019 for its tear-jerker episode 'Sleepytime'.
