A while ago my other half told me that an Aussie guy had come into his work and said, "I need to buy a new fridge, my other one's S*!t itself". The first time it happened my partner was quite taken aback. The second time was the day after a big storm. Aussie man walks in and says "My telephone s#!t itself. The storm blew it last night". When customer left, partner burst out laughing.

I work in a bathroom showroom. Sure enough, someone said to me the other day "I need a new kitchen tap. My tap's just s#!t itself" I just BURST out laughing and explained that I'd been told about this saying but had not heard it yet. The Aussie man found it hilarious that I found it hilarious and we laughed together.

Given where I work, I'm just waiting for the day when someone tells me they they need a new loo, cos their's has s*!t itself.

Anyone else heard this GREAT phrase? I just love it

Hi I have only heard it in England when somebody is scarred (I s*!t myself)
reading this also made me laugh so I will look forward to hearing it when we arrive.

A classic one is (Anglo Saxon) is "it's *****ed". Known throughout the world.

My friend told me whilst I was on the phone to her, that she'd be back in 5 as she was just dropping the kids off at the pool....

I had no idea what she meant and queried why at 10pm she was dropping off children at a pool...and more importantly, whose children (since she has none)

of course, I now know what she meant! God I hate that saying!!!!

Haven't heard that one where we are, but I have noticed this:

From what I have seen, Aussie blokes (in our area anyway), have a great passion for the word SENSATIONAL...And it's usually said in a really overemphasised Aussie accent, which makes it sound way over the top. We were told about this by a mate when we arrived, but thought they were pulling our leg. When we ACTUALLY heard someone say it we all started laughing our nut off...

This thread's about "as useless as tit's on a bull"
Do I get extra merit for using it in a sentence?
CRIKEY!

No i had the fortune of working in Glasgow with some contractors from Australia.


The phrase is 'crack the shits'. They said it to me a various times, regarding their pay not getting into their bank account, police stopping them, bouncers picking on them.


'Crack the shits' means pissed off. And if its not australia wide, its certainly Melbourne. I've never heard anyone 'crack the shits' with me in Brisbane, but then I'd give 'em glasgae kiss to think aboot if they did

What does it mean then?

We were about to leave for Devon on Saturday morning (Wife was saying goodbye to her grandparents) and our 1 year old boy was crawling around without a nappy on and guess what........?

All over his carpet, in his hands, on his cheek, down his leg.......ewwwww....

I knew an aussie girl who said that a lot.

I liked her expression, when she dropped her boyfriend, "you're off the reserves bench, and now you're top of the NRL!" It was the way she said it.

Other favourites, "could suck the chrome off a bumper bar".

I assume it means taking a dump

Or "seeing Mr Brown and some friends off to the seaside"

Best one I heard was one Aussie to another as he grabbed a drink from the fridge at a servo "I'm as dry as a leather tit!"
