Couldn’t grow a choko vine over a dunny.

Having dropped a common Aussie saying (ugly as a hatfull of arseholes) when responding to Indo today.

I lament that this part of Aussie culture is dying with my kids generation. Are we losing our unique bastardised version of the English language.

What’s your favourite sayings? Do you still use them?

Fair suck of the sauce bottle.
Have a go you mug.
Can I bum a lobster off ya.
Yous are all drongos and galahs.

Couldn’t have been stuffed going to work the other day so I figured I’d chuck a sickie.
I was drier than a nun’s nasty so I thought bugger it, I’m off to the rubbity dub.
I got down there and the place was heaving, going off like a prawn in the sun.
I looked for Bruce the bartender, he was easy to spot because he fell out of the ugly tree at birth and hit every branch on the way down, I mean he’s got a face like the knot in the end of a sausage.
Poor bastard has also got legs so skinny we call him “the vagrant” as in, he’s got no visible means of support.
Anyway, Bruce is so busy he’s all over the place like a madwoman’s shit, he’s as busy as a bricklayer in Beirut, he’s as busy as a one-legged man in an arse kicking competition
So I finally get up to the bar and Bruce says “Do you want a drink or what?”
“Is the pope Catholic?” I says. “Is a frog’s arse watertight? Does a bear shit in the woods? Did Jesus play fullback for Jerusalem? Does Raggedy Ann have cotton tits? Does Ken have a polypropylene penis? Sorry actually no, he’s just got a molded lump, my mistake.”
Bruce just looks at me and says, “Mate if brains were dynamite, you wouldn’t have enough to blow your nose”.
So I finally got a drink and I saw this girl sitting by herself. She had a head that’d chase a robbers’s dog out of a butcher’s shop but I thought I’d see if she wanted some company.
“Fuck off mate,” she said, “I’d rather shit in my hands and clap.”
Totally stitched up.

mate from overseas did a tour of oz.. he asked me about backyard bbq etiquette, I just told him to turn up with a bottle of piss, and be prepared for lots of blowies as soon as you get your meat out.
said he didn't enjoy his trip much.

Bugger.

Seen more pricks than a Pommy dartboard.
Couldn't pour water out of a boot if the instructions were on the heel.

Where’s Wax24. I’d like his take on all this.
I wonder if he’s got a bag full of US sayings like this.
It’d be interesting to see the septic tank versions.
