Nice to see at least three different colonies of ours attempting to further mutilate their mother tongue!! Cigarettes are known as fags, and the butts are called fag ENDS! Faggots are traditionally made of liver & onions mixed with suet and breadcrumbs and I believe the name originates from Welsh for 'mixture' I assume that meld is referring to sweet cigarettes - over here they have lost that so realistic red tip (well I thought so when I was a kid....breathing out on a cold day and pretending that you were really smoking - ha!), and are now enticing known as 'candy sticks'....I suppose 'cancer sticks' wouldn't sell so well....? Septic tanks... , variation on cockney rhyming slang, and not 'specially Oz... We have a far superior version of vegemite - the original, known as Marmite! "With its unusual and unique flavor, Vegemite was not an immediate success and sales were slow. In 1928 Vegemite was renamed and registered as Parwill in an attempt to boost its sales and to attract customers of the rival spread Marmite (an English yeast spread that dominated the Australian market since 1910). "If Marmite...then Parwill" was the rationale behind Walker's strategy to carve a niche in the market for his spread. The name Parwill and Walker's play on words didn't catch on. It was only sold as Parwill for a short time in Queensland. The name was withdrawn in 1935, and the original name was reinstated." C'mon Bondi....let's hear some proper Oz expressions...

QUOTE(sweetnsexy @ Feb 27 2006, 08:46 PM) C'mon Bondi....let's hear some proper Oz expressions... Well SnS you should know that most of our sayings are derived from the motherland as that's is where most Aussies used to come from. Marmite is also a terrible product but it's more about what you grew up with. Rhyming slang is a wonderful thing is it not??? Anyway, I was trying to ease the Yanks in but if you want some real Aussie sayings here goes... Fair Dinkum Bogan Tinnie Dero Dole Bludger Dunny Durry Grouse Map of Tassie In the Nuddy Old fella Sheila Bloke Slab Yobbo etc etc QUOTE(evade20 @ Feb 28 2006, 05:58 AM) Darn, Bondi didn't show yet. I hope your feeling OK. Your pet frog made it here though. I am not even sure what that means. That looks like a Cane Toad/Bullfrog and they are not native to Australia QUOTE(luv2cubounce @ Feb 28 2006, 10:59 PM) hope your doing well with the lingo bondiboy,you didnt want any other aussis involved and now sweetnsexy is really giving it to ya!!!!!!!!! Ratt tried to chat an all to ya ..... this is gonna be really funny... You really baffle me.... If you have ever taken me seriously you have made your first mistake sweetnsexy can give it to me all she likes.... I Love It! and I know she is only pulling my chain.... which again, I love! What the fuck does Ratt have to do with anything that was mentioned in the last 5 posts or in this thread at all???

QUOTE(sweetnsexy @ Mar 2 2006, 09:39 PM) Two of my favourites are 'chunder' and, especially, the 'one-eyed trouser snake'...been practicing my snake charming routine for ages!!! ahh chunder.... and aren't there many forms of saying expressing that phrase! Ofcourse your fav would be the cockney slang... "Up and Under" or driving the porcelain bus calling for charlie having a yak by the way.... you can practice charming my snake if u like
