I got this list of some sayings. Can one of you Down Under folks let me know if this is accurate or just some bs.
He shot through like a Bondi tram. (He left at great speed).
Smiling at the grass, technicolour yawn, driving the porcelain bus, chunder - all euphemisms for vomiting.
He's good on the fang. (He eats too much, especially when someone else is paying).
He's a fang-carpenter. (He's a dentist).
You've got two choices - none and Buckley's. (You haven't any choice at all).
Don't come the raw prawn with me. (Your attempt to deceive me has failed).
He's got too much of what the cat licked its backside with. (Talks too much).
May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny door in. (A curse - may your chickens turn into emus and demolish your toilet).
Are you fair dinkum? (Are you really telling the truth?)

This is all BS!!
firstly...we don't have trams in Bondi. Trams are found in Melbourne which is in Victoria a totally different state to where Bondi is in, which is NSW :p
hmmm...words that mean to vomit - BARF, Chuck, Spew.
the fang comment..never heard of it.....closest thing would be calling someone a stingy arse or bastard for scamming off others.
the dentist one is warped!! the none or buckleys comment may have been used a really really long time ago...but not many people use it.
Are you fair dinkum...is a generalisation...there may be perhaps 1% of the population that has ever used those words...
its like since Crocodile Dundee was released people think we ride kangaroos to school, etc
:silly2:
