Stupid sayings and how did they start and get known world wide.

Like the saying "I dont want to blow smoke up your as$ , but"

It is said when about to give a complement, like "I dont want to give you a big head, but"

Why "blow smoke up your as$"??????When does anyone blow smoke were the sun dosent shine???


And what about "fair suck of the sav"
"pushing sh!t up hill"
Has someone actually tried pushing crap up a hill???Is it really that hard to do???,,,,or had turns sucking a sav, missed your turn and said"Fair suck of the sav mate"??????
Who starts them and how do they become public usage???
"Please explain"

But alot of these sayings are world wide,,
not just aussie-isms.

How do they spread internationally,,,and alot of them dont really make alot of sense,,,even though we know what they mean.

"drunk as a skunk" Does a skunk drink???

"cool as a cucummber" maybe the answer to global warmming?????

Yeha I was looking for an excuse to throw in a new saying I heard last week

Cucumbers are cool - they feel cool when you eat them - due to water content - and are served with chilli or curries to sooth your throat

what do you know?


cant cook eggs in a toaster

It's better than a pus sandwich!

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

Im sorry I asked now

I just say a video last night on youtube or something where the mythbusters actually managed to polish a turd. They managed to get 180 international shine units out of some animal crap. apparently anything above 70 is considered glossy.

You can lead a horse to water but you cant make it float

...add to that 'going down like a cheap whore at a stag party'

always works well in a kitchen ( mind the waitress )

Has anyone even tried to get a big black dog up em?


Ha ha - met a couple of hotty Fench Canadians (from memory...whatever, they were exotic, hot and spoke funny) fresh into Oz on their second day and offered to help em out with some local lingo.

Cunning lingo has always been my fav so I taught them the term 'geddabigblackdogupya!' and tried - valiantly - to explain it is an almost universal term for when taking the pizz (that also needed explaining) and also for when you are genuinely pizzed at someone. use it liberally whilst in our wonderful country i advised.

They were amused but very confused and I think they booked a flight to NZ shortly after.

this is actually legit.... they are called dung beetles... they roll sh1t everywhere, including up the hill... I've watched some documentaries and it seems that they struggle up hill...

I worked in Hereroland in Namibia for three years. We were doing geophysical soundings and moved camp every night so there was no point in digging a dunny. The land was all sand so a spade that was all that was required.

If you were not quick these suckers would come in and start to roll it away before you got it buried. They must have the most incredible sense of smell because they fly in from nowhere, landing with a horrific crash, franticaly righting themselves to get at the goodies.

Occasionally a flying one would hit the windscreen. They do not just lay their eggs in dung, they eat it. The windscreen after impact used to look as though one had hit a cow up the arse.

^^^ and in Broome...good pooper scoopers
