Talkin Aussie
picked up this book recently when I went to Expos exhibition, it would nice if you guys can add other things to the list for us new arrivals.
DOWN UNDER "B*$%£^D" IS COMPLIMENT, A "ROOT" ISN'T PART OF A TREE AND THE WORD "THONGS" IS VERY CONFUSING...
aerial pingpong- Aussie Rules football.
all the go- the "in thing";"Those shorts are all the go."
arvo-afternoon.
back of Bourke- the middle of nowhere; "S£$t mate, we're in the back of Bourke.
bail-to leave; "I'm gonna bail soon."
balcony over the playground-beer belly on a corpulent man.
brown trouser job-something very scary.
budgie smugglers-speedos.
bulit like a streak of pelican s^%t- very tall and thin.
cack-laugh
chuck a U-ie- to make a u-turn.
couldn't pull a greasy stick out of dead dog's a^*e- incompetent.
dag- a fool, uncool.
dob-to inform on.
drop yer guts- bad case of flatulence.
dry as a dead dingo's donger- very dry
dunny- toilet
every b*S£*^d and his dog- the general public.
full as a boot-very drunk.
grog-alcohol
hair like a bush pig's a^"e problematic hair
happy as a b"$£^*d on Father's Day- extremely unhappy.
happy as a pig in sh*t- very happy.
larrikin- harmless prankster, scoundrel.
like a one-armed taxi driver with crabs- very busy.
mad as a cut snake- insane
map of tassie- a woman's pubic region.
ocker- anything typically Australia.
on ya-well done;
pash-snog
pash rash- reddened face from ecessive pashing.
poket billiards- males playing with gentials
rack off-go away;
root-sexual intercourse.
shark biscuit- new surfer.
you'd bring a tear to a glass eye- tell someone who cares.
thongs- sandles or flip-flops. can cause some hilrious misunderstanding
Have I missed anything?

I'm probably just thick but when I first arrived I didn't know what a doonah (duvet) or manchester (linen and bedding) were! Not funny but I would have found it useful!
