Aussie Expresions that make us laugh
« on: September 17, 2014, 06:01:55 PM »
l really love the funny expressions that seem to be disappearing from the Aussie language .
like ,,,
  As much use as an ashtray on a motor bike .
                         a hip pocket in a singlet
                          tits on a bull .
As busy as 10 men
Flat out like a lizard drinking
Went at it like 50 Bastards
Dry as a dead dingo donger
 there all great 7 hopefully will continue to thrive .
Snorkelled into a few drinks .
Outback of beyond

I'm busier than a one legged man in an @rse kicking competition, so if your busy like me, watch this movie you'll get every known Aussie colloquialism known to man.

Small | Large


Still cracks me up when they are driving from Heathrow to London and you see Stone Henge in the background.

I've always thought it odd that "bugger" is less offensive than the 'f' word, when you think about the two acts they relate to.
