As with Hogan's 'Put a Shrimp on the Barbie' invention, Kath and Kim's accent is an invention, an invention that was far off the mark when it came to a real Aussie twang. Kath and Kim were two characters made up by two women who did not speak with a twang. The result was a bastardisation of our accent and actually created a whole new vogue of 'pseudo-Aussie accents'.
