I couldn't find the original thread despite my best efforts but I thought of a few others that I felt the overseas guys might like

 

See if you can tell us what these are:

 

A dingoes breakfast

Bumnuts

Dead Horse

A dag

 

 

 

If any of the mods can find that other thread feel free to link this in

I cant find the other topic either.

 

I'm not good with Aussie slang

Dead house is tomato sauce which is Ketchup

A dag is someone who looks or acts dumb

Here couple more for you Elly,

 

Gonna hit the frog and toad - I'm going to leave (frog and toad meaning road)

Try that one on for size - give it a go and see if you like it

 

This is such a great topic!

I am sure that would be dead Horse liv - Not house :D

I thought the dead horse thing was like drop the subject i understand... You beating a dead horse etc

 

Dave is good with a dingo's breakfast LMAO

For those of you that don't know ... it is a scratch a wee and a sticky beak around the joint ( joint being place)

 

I have never heard of bumnuts but it sounds funny and

 

Yep I am a dag 6 days outta the week

 

That is my fav saying gotta hit the frog and toad LMAO i say it all the time when i have to leave some where ..

Bumnuts are something very dear to all our hearts...Eggs!

 

My grandfather used to ask for "A bit of pig and some bumnuts on toast" for breaky - Bacon and eggs on toast

 

Neat Dead horse is rhyming slang for sauce but it is used in other ways too

Ahhhh yes I just asked Dave .. Lmao and of course he said sauce ... ( Mr knows everything including the frog mouth not being an owl Grrrrr I hate how he does that - but love it at the same time heheh )

I am sure that would be dead Horse liv - Not house

 

If House died i would ---->

 

my fingers are so used to typing HOUSE from when i am doing my scripts

 

So pleased we worked out the dead HORSE thing

 

PS my hubby is a know everything kind of guy too - It gets frustrating at times but i love knowing things he doesn't

I bet Dave doesnt know everything you know about budgies.

One I found really amazing when I was at school (You know how kids look for naughty words in a dictionary) was the meaning of UGLY in the thesauras - "Face like a bag full or arseholes" HAHAHAH

 

And one I always loved from my dad "It's like ******* in the wind talking to you" haha

so funny

I use stuff all the time, it's hard to know what is slang and what isn't

Some Kiwi slang (don't know if you guys use it or not, but it was in a little bag of fridge magnets of kiwi slang words)

 

He lives out in the Wops (also wops wops) = means he lives out somewhere far away, out bush, away from civilisation

 

Bush = forest

 

Hissy fit: having a tantrum

 

Carked it: Died

 

Tiki tour: Go on a little walk tour around the place, or a detour, or time wasting

 

Hoon: Go really fast, or an idiot who drives really fast. ie He hoons all round the place.

 

Piker : Some one who pulls out of something at the last minute

 

Skiver: Someone who is lazy and dissappears from work to have a kip (sleep)

 

Suss: as in "that looks a bit suss".= Suspicious

 

"Naff off": This is my favourite. Telling some one to go away evilly as in p*ss off.

 

Then of cause we have all the maori words like "kai" = food etc etc

 

"Sweet as" (I think all of the southern hemisphere uses this one): That's cool or I like that.

 

Bum= bottom/ buttocks (again another thing all of Australasia and England uses)

 

A dag is what hangs off of a sheep's backside. It's wool with poo all through it. Big clumps of poo that hang off their backside. So I laughed when you guys called yourselves dags.
