I have a different slant on fang

to fang = eat

Lets see if I can add to the list

I feel crook = I feel unwell

pissed to the eyballs - drunk as buggery

I am pissed off - watch out I am very annoyed

you have Buckley's - you have no chance (an expression from the early colonial days when a convict named william Buckley got lost and lived with the aborigines for 18 years)

beyond the black stump/ way out in the woop woop - a long way from anywhere

bangs like a dunny door in a gale - a woman with wanton ways

Friday arvo - Friday afternoon

techicolour yawn - vomit

will think of few more later

Earlier this month my brother returned from Australia after nearly 6 months at studying La Trobe University in Melbourne (anyone know it?). The sayings he's come back with is enough to drive me up the wall! :)

My favourite saying is one I heard first from my Dad:

"I'm so hungry I could just about eat the arse out of a low-flying duck".
