The first time I heard someone say "We're havin' chook fer tea to-die." I thought a friend called Chook was coming to 4 o'clock tea and then have something terrible happen to him, when it was only a harmless phrase meaning we're having chicken for "dinner".
Since then I've heard some colourful Aussie expressions like:
Flapping like a Queensland dunny door
Spread all over the place like a mad woman's custard.
Maybe someone should start a thread on colourful Aussie expressions and have us guess when they are used.
