Americans and Australians shouldn't play lip reading games together, they are doomed to fail. Take for example, this ridiculous video of Jimmy Fallon trying to say "Bondi Beach," while Margot Robbie tries to read his lips. (Watch the linguistic disaster from the one minute mark).

The Whisper Challenge sees one person wear sound-cancelling headphones, while the other guesses the phrase they are saying. It probably would have been fine, if Fallon could speak Australian. Lesson one: It's Bond-Eye, not Bond-Y.

Robbie gave it her best shot with the help she was given: "A buzzing beach, a bud beach, bun on a beach, buddabeach, buddabudda, ballabeach, bolshey, pushing the beach." Yeah, nope. 

Time to brush up on your Aussie lingo, Fallon. That was an abomination.
