Thread: Forgotten Aussie slang and one liners

No time to read through the entire thread to see if my ones have already been posted, here's a few my family elders used over the years ....


"Hit the straps" = Get going to leave ...

"Park yer paw paw" = Take a seat ...

"Fair suck of the sav" = Fair go ...

"He's got a roo loose in the top paddock" = Blokes dippy ...

"Port" = A Queensland suitcase!

"More front than Mark Foys" = Foys was a huge David Jones like business in Sydney City back in the 20's.

"Bloods worth bottling" = Self explanatory.

"Hit the turps" = To drink ...

"Wingnut" = Idiot ...

"Sumphead" = A bigger idiot ...

Si.

I know this is not PC but...
"more ass than a bus load of poofters" - A very lucky chap

Yep fit perfectly good food into pots and pans and turn it into s**t

Who is up for a seven course lunch?

And one from the leaf sprung era of yesteryear:

If you drove over a two bob bit you could tell which side was up; the Queen or the kangaroo.

Calling someone a Globite = Hard Case

Dry as a Pommies towel

Dry as a Nuns Nastey

Wouldn't be dead for quids

Howyagoin yaold bastard

Bangs like a dunny door in a hurrican

Busier than a one armed wall paper hanger

Flat out like a lizard drinking

I could eat a horse & chase its rider

His language was so bad, he could make a warfie blush

he is as tight as a bulls arseh..... going uphill in fly season
