Zoe over at Make it Crafty is having a bit of a contest where she lists some common Australian slang and we are suppose to provide our own meaning. You could win $50 to spend on Make it Crafty products and trust me, if you haven't looked at this website you are truly missing something!This looks like fun! So here is my go at it:
- You Little Ripper-what you call a baby with gas
- Well I'll be buggered-what you say when someone sneezes on you.
- Crikey-Australian Yahtzee
- Fair Dinkum-a pale nerd
- On a good wicket-a winning ticket
- Make a proper galah of yourself-a snooty spectacle
- She'll be apples-what I would want to be if Vin Diesel was a pie
- Ridgie Dige-CSI slang for finger print
- Buggerlugs-what is actually sneezed on you..when someone sneezes on you
- Give it a burl-To sing a song like Burl Ives.
- Bob's yer uncle-What you tell your friend who likes Bob..when you want to date Bob
- Go like the clappers-Flash in the pan gadget now obsolete-does anyone still use clappers?
- Ningnong- sound a Door bell makes when it has a lisp
- Good Onya-What you say to a friend wearing a new dress
- Rough end of the stick-what most ex husbands deserve.
