fair dinkum

yeah, i could talk about this whole fasting deal we're doing, but... i found a MUCH more interesting topic.....

so i've always had this thing for learning languages... i usually start off pretty good learning whatever i feel like on any given day, but then get distracted with something else... so lately - while latin and tagalog were interesting... i'm finding australian (yeah, AUSTRALIAN) to be rather entertaining ^_^

SO here's a few choice phrases (or at least ones i found disgustingly
amusing/totally random) to rot your brain cells: (yaaay)
Brown-eyed mullet : a turd in the sea (where you're swimming!)
Mickey Mouse : excellent, very good. Beware though - in some parts of Australia it means inconsequential, frivolous or not very good!
Trough lolly : the solid piece of perfumed disinfectant in a men's urinal
Vee dub : Volkswagen
Ripper, you little! : Exclamation of delight or as a reaction to good news
Yakka : work (noun)
Banana bender : a person from Queensland
Dill : an idiot
Bushman's hanky : Emitting nasal mucus by placing one index finger on the outside of the nose (thus blocking one nostril) and blowing.
Hottie : hot water bottle
Gobful, give a : to abuse, usually justifiably ("The neighbours were having a noisy party so I went and gave them a gobful")
Lunch, who opened their? : OK, who farted?
Oldies : parents - "I'll have to ask my oldies"
Technicolor yawn : vomit

now go check out the rest of this craziness!! it's "good oil"
