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.:)
