Given air time by Michael Caton in “The Castle:” when you advise someone involved in a business transaction to tell their counterpart that he’s “dreaming,” you’re suggesting that the other side is not offering a fair deal. They’re not the “full quid.” For those who don’t speak about money or alcohol, they’re “a few sandwiches short of a picnic.” If one is perceived as being a little slow – more than feeling “under the weather,” they’re actually quite dumb – they’re a few stubbies short of a six-pack. A few sandwiches short of a picnicĪ six-pack has evolved to mean anyone with fit abdomens, but long ago the six-pack was (and still is) a group of beers. So when people want to know what’s going on, or they’re requesting the “goss” (gossip), they ask what the John Dory is.Ģ9.
John Dory is a fish found in Sydney Harbour and it’s great grilled with lemon and pepper, or deep-fried. He had a Captain Cook (a look) and liked it. After landing at Botany Bay he sailed on past Sydney Harbour. In apparent honor of the first Brit to map eastern Australia, Captain James Cook, who skippered the HMB Endeavour. This being the case, there’s no real point in worrying about anything.Ī look, a brief inspection. Reflects a national stoicism that suggests everything (she) will turn out fine in the end.
PRIME LINGO CRACK
In the fields, they needed a “fair crack of the whip.” Fair go, mate. Such was the hard life that all they wanted was an equitable suck. “Fair suck” was coined by struggling Australian families who shared droppings of tomato sauce to flavor their meat. Made famous by the ill-fated former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who enjoyed using Australian slang to speak to the electorate and often pleaded for a “fair suck.” The phrase generally means that you want to be treated fairly. Oi you! Lost in Sydney bar conversation? Applying for Aussie citizenship? Master these 33 terms and you’ll be fair dinkum.ģ3.
