    My New Year Resolution is to give up sexual innuendos.

    It's going to be extremely hard.

    18 Australian Sayings That Make No Sense To Other English Speakers
    Australia Admin • December 28, 2021 • 0 Comment

    Although Australians do speak English, their true blue Aussie lingo often leaves other English speakers perplexed. From seemingly unfinished sentences to backhanded compliments and friendly insults, locals often exercise ridiculous phrases to convey simply meanings. These are 18 expressions you’ll hear down under.

    Have a good one
    Translation: Have a nice day.

    Meaning: Often used in place of ‘goodbye,’ the phrase is a pleasant send off.

    Flat out like a lizard drinking
    Translation: Very busy.

    Meaning: To be hard at work, just like a lizard who physically lies out flat in order to drink water which is done quickly and is a main source of activity during the day.

    Chuck a U-ey
    Translation: Make a U turn.

    Meaning: To perform the U turn driving manoeuvre or to turn around in any manner of movement.

    Fair shake of the sauce bottle
    Translation: To give it a fair go,

    Meaning: To give something a chance or a try. Used excessively by ex-Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd during an interview in 2009.

    Bloody oath
    Translation: That’s certainly true.

    Meaning: Used to declare honesty and convey your approval when you agree with what has been said.

    As crook as Rookwood
    Translation: Chronically ill.

    Meaning: To describe someone who is very unwell by making reference to Rookwood cemetery, the largest necropolis in the Southern Hemisphere.

    A few roos loose in the top paddock
    Translation: Intellectually incompetent.

    Meaning: To describe someone’s mental state as deranged and out-of-their-mind crazy by comparing them to having kangaroos loose on your farm.

    Can’t be bothered
    Translation: I’m not in the mood to do that.

    Meaning: When you don’t feel like doing something because you’re tired, lazy or it’s not of importance to you.

    Like a bandicoot on a burnt ridge
    Translation: To be alone.

    Meaning: To describe someone who is isolated and lonely.

    She’ll be apples
    Translation: It will be alright.

    Meaning: A play on the phrase ‘she’ll be right,’ which means that whatever is wrong will soon be okay. The subject ‘she’ represents everything and the user of the phrase can be seen as optimistic or apathetic.

    Lower than a snake’s belly
    Translation: To have a low moral standing.

    Meaning: To describe someone an unpleasant person with no morals by comparing those to a snake who glides across the floor and is as low as any animal can get.

    No worries
    Translation: Sure thing, you’re welcome.

    Meaning: Very commonly used, the phrase is similar to no problem and is a friendly way to say ‘that’s all right,’ or ‘you’re welcome.’

    You little ripper
    Translation: That’s wonderful.

    Meaning: An exclamation to express delight or pride in someone.

    Fit as a Mallee bull
    Translation: To be in excellent physical condition.

    Meaning: To be as fit and as strong as the bulls in the Mallee, which is a beef production region with harsh environments that demand the cattle be tough and in top form.

    A face like a dropped pie
    Translation: To have an unattractive face.

    Meaning: An insult to describe someone whose face looks like the mess made when a pie is dropped.

    May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down
