Post subject: Australian Slang Primer
Mr. Jones is a "Banana Bender" according to what I researched about Australian Slang.
<br />
Some interesting slang :
<br />
<br />
beyond the Black Stump - a long way away
<br />
Bondi cigar or brown-eyed mullet - a turd in the sea <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Bush oyster - a nose booger
<br />
Crack a fat ( I'll let you look that one up yourself) <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lmao.gif" alt="" />
<br />
Dingo's breakfast - a yawn, a leak, and a good look around (i.e. no breakfast)
<br />
Dunny budgie - a blowfly
<br />
Aussie Salute - brushing flies away
<br />
Shark biscuit - somebody new to surfing <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
There are also many slang terms that parallel what we use in the U.S. and
<br />
here in Canada.

That's great Den. You're learning a new language <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
<br />
<br />
Made me laugh out loud this morning and I felt like a bloody 'drongo', struth!

Bit different to the Canadian's, 'eh?'

I have read the entire list of Australian slang and a lot of them are
<br />
quite funny to me.
<br />
I like the shark bisquit and now Den keeps asking me if I'm having
<br />
the Dingo Breakfast because I am not a breakfast person.
<br />
A cup of tea in the morning is about it.
<br />
I know, I know, breakfast is the most important meal of the day
<br />
<br />
Okay, I guess breakfast is over. I've yawned, taken a leak and had me tea.
<br />
