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:
