Thread: Forgotten Aussie slang and one liners

sticks out like dogs testicles.
as popular as a pork chop in Jurusalem.

as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike.
as hot as a $20 pistol.
as straight as a dogs hindleg.
as flash as a rat with a gold tooth.
as much front as a row of shops.

Beats a poke in the eye with a blunt stick
Would freeze the balls off a brass monkey
Head like a robbers dog
Head like a bucket of smashed crabs
Goes off like a frog in a sock

A few of my favourites:

Head like a beaten favourite
Strike me lucky
Could eat a toffee apple through a tennis racquet - (applied to buck teethed women)
Busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger
Busier than a one legged bloke in an ar$e kicking competition
Choc a block
Snap out of it and wake up to yourself
Eat the poxy crutch on a low flying duck
Eat a baby's ar$e through a park bench
Up $hit creek

Beaten by the ugly stick

Some even fell from the top of the tree and hit every branch on the way down

Busier than a one armed bricky in Baghdad

Would freeze the balls off a brass monkey
I heard that one often in Tasmania during the '50s.
Also an NT one "big mobs" for anything greater than about 5 things.
not the sharpest tool in the shed.
like a Greeks wrestlers jockstrap
Throat feels like the scrapings from the Cockies cage
like a rat up a greasy drain pipe.
up *hit creek in a barbwire boat.
see a man about a dog.
a carton short of a slab
point Percy at the porcelain think that came from Barry Crockers movie
In PNG, Swan beer was always Buka Duck

How many people know that this has absolutely nothing to do with the genitalia of primates?
