My favourite Aussie expressions are: ‘Drongo’ ‘Dropkick’ and ‘(to) shoot through’ They are so descriptive!
I like that advert on the telly here in the UK at the moment where the two Aussie blokes give advice over the telephone. I think they use the word ‘curly’ to describe ‘difficult’ as in ‘That’s a curly one mate’.
Oh ho, those ads are funny.
And who could forget those ads that were on the UK tellie, advertising Australia as a tourist destination… “Where the bloddy hell are ya?!”
So funny and so typically Aussie – in the use of language and the directness. The Brits didn’t like it, but as an Aussie, I think it’s so funny and irreverant! Once again, shows our differences shown up by a common language.
