Fru-fru (fancy).

and here's a New Mexico one for you:
Christmas. :D . It's what you say in a restaurant when they ask "red or green" (chile) and you want both. Christmas.

So I was wondering if anyone has ever "buzzed the gut?"

My mom and dad used to do this all the time when they were dating - or as they say "We buzzed the gut then went down to the lake to watch the submarine races."

Terry and I were in a small town a few weeks ago, there wasn't much going on in the town so I asked him if he wanted to "buzz the gut." He looked at me like I had lost it! :eek: :rolleyes: :D

So I was just wondering who else has all heard that expression. :D

This thread is hilarious!

Alot of the young people here say SWEET AS BRO, it means that everythings fine, I will have to put my thinking cap on and give you some real kiwi ones, come on my aussie mates where are yours, they have some real beauties, some we share, some we donot.:)

Yeah, Carole, like VEGEMITE:D :D :D

Vegemite.....vegewon't!!

HE HE Gini, yep we have some beauties here too, gosh I cannot even think of one at the moment, you got any others you recall when you were here.

Carole, I wonder if anyone knows what "rattle your dag's" means?:D :D

oh Gini your'e such a dag!!! lol:D

or should I say , your'e such a HARDCASE.:D

Plunka-dunker....thingery bobber.

I have rattled my brain and come up with some kiwi sayings or slang, I wonder if you can guess what they mean?

Rough as Guts

Tinbum

Guts for garters

Jack up

Get off the grass

Kick the Bucket

Knackered

Dunny

Crikey Dick

Crook

Carked it

Chocka

These are just a few that came to mind, AUSSIE'S now don't tell our American pals what they mean ok!

knackered's tired right? my fave aussie phrase would have to be. Son can I bend your ear for a tick.

you are right with knackered, can you guess the rest though,
yes we use that the work tick as well, just wait a tick will you, meaning wait a few secs.

well if kicked the bucket is the same thing as it is in Canada it means some one croaked.

YEP oh you are GOOD, you would easily understand them kiwis down under, now what does Crikey Dick mean?

Dooda-mabob :D

um maybe something along the lines of golly-gee?

You are pretty close, if i know what golly-gee means, its an expression of suprise.

Carked it means to die, I think!

He carked it! (guess it is for people that you don't know too well).

Now, how about Chucka Wobbly?

Good grief, I am better at NZ and Australia sayings than my own from US.:p :p

you are a fast learner there Gini and Crikit, you would fit in nicely down under.:)

"What chew talkn bout Willis":p

Does any one refer to throwing up as KUTZ?

nope but we say chunder in nz or puking

along those lines...throwing up = hurling, going to hurl or tossing your cookies

i cannot share anymore of our aussie ones ;)

thingamy-bob
Koala's are not bears- that irks me
lol irk- annoyed/annoys
P@$$^D-intoxicated or angry annoyed

That is a new one for me, Jen. I have always heard it as Ralph.

Say Ralph slowly and long........what does it sound like:D :D

Ralph: aka, go see ralph in his buick, aka hoark, aka praying to the porcelin god....

(ok, so I know waay too many euphemisms for this)

Carole-

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE...post the answers to the aussie sayings!!! I must incorporate them into my vocabulary. I am a didactic slut!!! I love to use others sayings as my own...he he he..

Now, this is 'regional' for us Americans...but, we say "please?" to reflect, "I am sorry, what did you say?"....

You guys are too silly. :p

Dunny is the bathroom, right?

Oh, and Kayann, I love your sig, so cute!:D

OK Cataholic here they are, just one correction they are KIWI sayings NOT AUSSIE, but we do share some.

Guts for Garters= your in big trouble I will have your guts for garters

Crikey Dick= expression of suprise.

Carked it= Died

Kicked the Bucket= also someone died

Dunny= the loo or toilet

Crook= either you are sick or poorly, or angry at someone, or to put someone crook, is like e.g. to give someone wrong directions, you put them crook

Tinbum= lucky person

Get off the Grass= disbelief, stop pulling my leg, get off the grass

Ratttle your dags= get a move on , hurry up.

Rough as Guts= unpolished.

Knackered-stuffed, exhausted

Jack up= to organise, e.g. I will jack up the suprise party for my sister tonight.

Hardcase or Dag= someone who is funny, humourous, comedian.etc

These are all of them I think, there are actually many more, cannot think of them right now.:)

P.S. I will have your guts for garters if you mistake me for an Aussie again Cataholic. lol:D

I lived in Wisconsin for a couple of years and sometimes they'd say "aina-hey" at the end of the sentence. "It's hot today, aina-hey?"

In western Massachusetts a sub is a "grinder".

In the Metro New York area we use a lot of Yiddish slang...shmutz, shlep, some other less family oriented words...:p ;)

I have no idea where this one comes from, but a guy I used to work for always said "more fun than a barrel of snakes"

I love this expression:

"It's raining cats & dogs"

Could you imagine:eek:

There is another one that I always liked........

"How about dem apples?" = what do you think about that?

Aww. I wish it would "rain cats and dogs" in my house!!
