Aussie sayings in the UK
Has anyone ever thought to themselves how a saying popular in Oz would go down in the UK.
Talking in work today one fella says he is stopping at the bottlo on the way home to get a "Carton of Piss"
Just imagine discussing this in work in the UK, how many friends you would lose

Re: Aussie sayings in the UK
Worse aussie saying ever!!, and proves aussies use the C word 
, when hungry aussie blokes often say "I could eat the C. . . out of a rotten fox". :scared:
Hear it at work all the time then they apologise when they realise a woman is around.
Thirsty - dry as a badgers bum or dry as a witches tit
