Old Hand-Me-Down Sayings

A

A bit of an odd bod
A bit rough round the edges
A bit slow on the uptake
A bucket load
A face that only mothers could love
About as funny as a fart in a bottle
About as ugly as a hat full of arseholes
About as subtle as a kick in the guts
About as useful as an ashtray on a motor bike
About as welcome as a turd in a swimming pool
All froth and bubble
All over it like a rash
All she needs is a brown paper bag

B

Bangs like a dunny door in a storm
Barkin' up the wrong tree
Better than a poke in the eye with a burnt stick
Better than a slap in the face with a wet fish
Between you, me, and the gatepost
Bible basher
Billy lids
Blind leading the blind
Bloody hell
Bloody idiot
Bloody oath
Bloody oath mate
Blow that
Bludger
Bonza
Bore it up 'em
Bow-peep
Brown noser
Bugger me dead
Bugger that for a joke
Buggered if I know
Built like a brick shithouse
Bugger all
Busier than a bluearse fly
Busy as a blowy at a Barby
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth

C

Carrying on like a pork chop
Catch ya later
Chillout
Chook raffle
Chuck a ueee
Cock and bull stories
Come in spinner
Come on !!
Con job
Cop it on the chin
Cop you later
Copin an earful
couldn't catch a cold
Couldn't care less
Couldn't drive a knife through soft butter
Couldn't drive ducks to water
Couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag
Couldn't give a shit
Couldn't lie straight in bed
Couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery
Couldn't organise a root in a brothel
Couldn't run a bath
Couldn't tell his arse from a hole in the ground
Couple of bucks
Crack a fat
Crikey - Blimey
Cry over spilt milk

D

Deadbeat
Deaf as a door post
Deep pockets
Dickhead
Did you ride her bareback
Dirty dog
Do your lolly
Doesn't know shit from clay
Dogs Breath
Dog's eye
Don't be a dork
Don't bring that shit in here
Don't come Monday
Don't come the raw prawn with me mate
Don't get ya balls in a knot
Don't get ya knickers in a knot
Don't piss on my back and tell me that its raining
Don't work too hard
Donkeys years
Down the road Charlie
Dragin' your feet
Drop dead
Drop in a bucket or ocean
Drop kick
Dry as a Dead dingo's donga
Dry as a drovers dog

E

Elbow grease
Even blind, Freddy could see that
Everthing but the kitchen sink
Every man and his dog

F

Fuck me dead
Face fungus
Fair Dinkum
Fair suck of the sav
Far out
Feeling a bit crook
Feeling a bit peckish
Fell on deaf ears
Fell out of the ugly tree
Find your feet
Fine as a Fairy's fart
Fuckin' Oath Mate
Fit as a fiddle
Fit as a mallee bull
Flappin ya Gums
Flat out like a lizard drinkin
For fucksake
Frigin hell
Froth and bubble
Full as a goog
Fuckwit

G

Get a life
Get off your high horse
Get real
Get stuffed
Get the giddy up
Gidday digger
Gidday luv
Gidday Mate
Give er a bell
Give it a go
Give it a whirl
Give it curry
Give us a gander
Go around the bend
Go root a boot
Go root yourself
Go to buggery
Go water a horse
Goes off like Chinese new year fireworks
Goin at it like rabbits
Goin to drain the one eyed trouser snake
Going ten to the dozen
Gollywog
Gone thru me like a dose of salts
Got a face like a busted arse
Got a fag mate
Got His heads so far up his arse
got the rough end of the pineapple
Got the time mate
Got tickets on yourself
Got you by the short and curlies
Gotta have a slash
Gottcha
Grasping at straws

H

Hangin for piss
Happy as a pig in shit
Hava good one
Have to take a snakes hiss
Have you got shit for brains
Havin' a bludge
Havin' a perve
He ran like a hairy goat
He shoots blanks
He thinks his shit dosnt stink but his farts give him away
Head on her like a horse
Hedge your bets
Her headlights are on high beam
He's a cow cocky
He's a dickhead
He's a horses hoof
He's blotto
He's got a few roos loose in the top paddock
He's got short arms and long pockets
He's got shit for brains
He's havin' a shocker
He's on the dog and bone
He's tinny
He's True Blue
He's about to do his block
He's in more shit than Ned Kelly
Hit the ground running
Hit him with a lump of 4be2

Hi, how you goin'
Hold your horses
How are you
How good is it
How goods that
How goods this
How long is a piece of string
How ya goin'
How ya goin', alright
How ya Travellin
How's ya mothers chooks
Howsha weekend
Howzit goin
Hung like a donkey

I

I'm as dry as a wooden God
I could eat a horse and chase the jockey
I couldn't give a rats arse
I cross my heart and hope to die
I cross my heart and spit to the deathI feel like a dogs breakfast
I'll have a butcher's hook
I have had it since Adam was a boy
I wouldn't piss on 'im if he was on fire
I'll go and have a captain cook
I'm off like a bucket of prawns in the hot sun
I'm off like a brides nighty
I'm sweating like a whore in church
I'm sweating like a pig's arse
I've seen better legs on a pool table
I'd like to be a fly on the wall
If i've told you once i've told you a thousand times
If you've got the time i've got the place
Ill have ya guts for garters
I'm buggered
I'm goin' to give birth to your twin
In need that like a hole in the head
In two shakes of a lambs tail
Is the pope a Catholic
It couldn't be done in a month of Sundays
It just doesn't get any better than this
It's a dogs breakfast
It's a rip snorter
It's as old as adam
It's cactus
It's not worth a brass razoo
It's pelting down like cats and dogs
It's pissin' down
It's so cold it freeze balls off a brass monkey
It's so cold it would freeze your balls off
It's within cooee of here
Iv'e got a shit load

J

Jailbait
Japanese safety boots
Joe blow
Jumpin around like a flea on a dog
Just around the corner
Keep you ear to the ground
'Kern oath mate
Knockin back a few beers
L

Lemon
Let one drop
Life sucked out of him
Lights are on but no ones home
Like a rat up a drain pipe
Like a snake in the grass
Like putting dracula in charge of a blood bank
Long time no see
Look out
Looks like somethin' the cat dragged in
Low and behold
Lower than snakes belly

M

Mad as a cut snake
Mad as a meat axe
Made a real dogs breakfast out of it
Make do
Make mine unleaded
Mangy old bastard
Map of Tassie
Mate shes as rough as guts
Molly dooker
More arse than class
More front than Myers
Mums chucking a wobbly
My heads spinnin'

N

Nice Buzukas
No bloody way China
No flies on me but you can see where the've been
No way in the bloody world
No where near it
No worries
No wuckin furries
Not a hope in hell
Not bad
Not on your life
Not the full quid
Now that would put a smile on your dial

O

Odds and sods
Off like a brides nighty
On his ear
On your bike
One foot in the grave
One for Ron
Out in the sticks

P

Pea brain
Pass the dead horse
Piece of piss
Pigs arse
Piss it all up against the wall
Piss weak
Piss poor
Pissed as a cricket
Pisshead
Pissing in your pocket
Point Percy at the porcelain
Popular as a mangy dog
Porky pies
Pull the wool over your eyes
Pull ya head in
Pull your finger out
Pushing shit up hill
Puts hair on your chest
Put that in your pipe smoke it
Put the bite on
Put the hard word on
Put things on hold

R

Rats arse
Ridgy didge
Right up your alley
Run rings around 'im
Runs on the smell of an oily rag


S

Say it don't spray it
See ya later
See ya later on
See you round like a rissole
Seen better legs on a table
Stiff cheddar
Stiff shit
Shadow of a doubt
Shadow of his former self
Shake hands with the unemployed
Sharp as a tack. Not the sharpest tool in the shed
She goes like the clappers
She's up the duff
She's fugly
She'll be apples
She'll be right mate
She's in the puddin' club
Shes been entered more than tatts Lotto
Shes up on blocks
Shit a brick
Shit for Brains
Shit hits the fan
Shit hot
Shithouse
Shove that up your arse
Shut your north and south
Sick as a dog
Sillier than a two bob watch
Sink the slipper in
Sitting on the fence
Six of one half a dozen of the other
Skinny as a rake
Slow as a wet week
Slow coach
Smart arse
So far up yourself
So thin she wouldn't cast a shadow
Somethin' like that
Spat the dummy
Spread like wild fire
Spewin'
Spit'n chips
Stick that up your wooly jumper
Sticks out like dogs balls
Stole my thunder
Stone the crows
Stones throw away
Stop dragin' the chain
Stop muckin' around
Stop ya wingin
Strike me lucky
Suck it 'n see
Syphon the Python
T

Take the bull by the horns
Take the ferret for a run
Takin' by storm
Talk under wet cement
Tell someone who cares
That's a cracker
That's about as funny as a kick in the head
That's put a smile on your face
That's shit
The engine is conked out
The horse has bolted
The whole box and dice
Thing 'ama jig
Thick as a brick
Think outside the square
Think your so good that your shit doesn't stink
Throw a spanner in the works
Throw the baby out with the bathwater
Tighter than a fishes arsehole
Till hell freezes over,
Toe jam
Tom, Dick and Harry
Too big for your britches
Toss ya for it
Tosser
Tough titties
Turn it up
Two bob short of a quid
Two side to every coin

U

Ugly as a hat full of arseholes
Up and down like a yoyo
Up and down, like a mad woman's breakfast
Up at sparrows fart
Up shit creek without a paddle
Up shit creek in a barbed wire canoe
Up the duff
Useful as tits on a bull

V

W

Wadda ya know
Wadda ya reckon
Wait till stumps
Walkin' on eggshells
Wanker
Wanna have a go do you
Watering hole
Weak as cats piss
Weak as piss
Well strike me pink
Went down the gurgler
Wet as a shag on a rock
Wet me whistle
Whadda you know
What are ya , a doctor
What are you flappin your gums about now
What can I do for you mate
What do ya do for a crust mate
What do you think this is bush week
What the hell
Whata crock of shit
Whata load of codswollip
Whata load of crap
Whata ya think
Whats his name
Whats goin on
Whats up
Whats up you
Where in the middle of bloody woop woop
Where the crows fly backwards
Where, this side of the black stump
Who farted
Who's cookin this chook
Worm your way out of it
Worse for wear
Wouldn't be dead for quids
Wouldn't have a bar of it
Wouldn't have the foggiest
Wouldn't know if his arse was on fire
Wouldn't know night from day

Wouldn't know shit from clay
Wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire
Wouldn't touch her with yours
Wouldn't touch it with a 40ft pole
Wouldn't touch it with a barge pole
Wouldn't work in a iron lung

X

Y

Ya bloods worth bottling
Ya bloody galah
Ya bloody wombat
Ya drongo
Yarn
You know bugger all
You are off the rails
You bet your boots that's right
You Betcha
You bloody beauty
You bloody little pisser
You little bugger
You little ripper
You look like a stunned mullet
You look somethin' the cat dragged in
You Mongrel mangy dog
You're a tossa
You're a Wally
You've got a face like a smacked arse
You've got Buckley's mate
You've got two chances, Buckleys and none
You've opened up a can of worms
You'd want to know the ins and outs of everything
You are jokin'
