    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    thats crazy. the expression for those should be the same as the lumps of shite on humans hairy arse - DINGLEBERRIES!


    "ahhh, g'way ann shite" = (Go Away And Shite) = "Fuck off/Shut Up"
    Scuttered / Shitfaced / Rat-arsed / in the horrors = drunk
    Cacks = trousers
    Sucking Diesel = doing well
    Jammers = crowded
    Rabbitin on - talkin a lot
    Kip = Sleep
    You couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo = bad aim
    Bogtrotter = Muck Savage = culchie = person from the countryside
    Fierce/ Desperate / Some = Very
    Piece of piss - Easy (ehh...describing a thing, not a person)

    Ooo I forgot about a lot of them, and I use them every day!

    Another one is-
    Creamed herself - she fell over. Some people argue that its 'creaLed'.

    and dags, where I come from, are the lumps of shite on sheep, or what travellers call dogs.

    I use that word every day!
    I remember being a whippersnapper and mum and dad always called me a dag and id say "im not a piece of poo on a sheeps tail!"

    More commonly used in place of "silly Bugger"

    Bloody oath/Streuth/Crikey - nothing really, just an exclamation
    Snag - sausage
    Dunny - toilet


    Most of the time I don't even think of these and other words as slang. Like thongs. It's clearly something you wear on your foot. And a root is clearly a shag.


    Loon = Toilet... is a good one too.

    Does anybody else say 'cheers' meaning 'thanks'? I don't know how common it is.
