Stoner Sloth posted:okay got a few terms for today I can absolutely hear an Australian saying all of those so I’m gonna say they are all real? 1. Something you smuggle in your speedo, obviously . I could see it also being like ‘dodgy’ or suspect-not up to snuff. 2. I have no idea. Maybe being lazy? Layin around like a fatty piece of meat? 3. Getting the shaft. Having a bad time. Getting the rough end of the stick 4. I dunno. Drunk? Tired?

Stoner Sloth posted:okay got a few terms for today 1. fake - way too close to ‘budgie’. people would get confused. chaos would reign. 2. real - making a pig of oneself, overeat. 3. real - things going from bad to worse. 4. real - being positioned on top of a wallaby, perhaps for the purpose of riding it. 5. fake - the world is not a beautiful enough place for such a delightful saying to be real. |

As a Kiwi, I've never heard 2 or 4, but 2 sounds plausible. Couldn't guess what it would mean though, other than, well, carrying on a bit much. |

1. bodgie 2. carrying on like a pork chop 3. to get the rough end of the pineapple 4. on the wallaby 5. to come the raw prawn Okay 1. A botched job. "When Tim wired the car battery to the remote control, it was a real bodgie". 2. Fake 3. Get a raw deal, the short shrift, to get screwed. "Leah and Ella were supposed to split the proceeds, but Ella got the rough end of the pineapple" 4. I don't know enough about wallaby behavior to speculate on this one  5. Uhhh, do a bad job? "It was a nice barbie last week but Bill's salad came the raw prawn." |

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:I can absolutely hear an Australian saying all of those so I’m gonna say they are all real? correct. amazingly all these terms are real: 1. bodgie - originally derived from the now obsolete british term 'bodger' meaning 'to work clumsily'. the australian term means something that is 'fake, false or worthless'. an example would be a bodgie knockoff brand fridge that you bought and isn't good or a fake receipt for something would be 'bodgie' 2. carrying on like a pork chop - when one rants, makes a fuss, complains or otherwise is loudly foolish and make yourself the center of attention. some believe this stems from the spluttering noise a pork chop makes when being friend but it probably draws from an older expression 'like a pork chop in a synagogue' which meant something unpopular. ex: davo is a good bloke but bloody hell does he carry on like a pork chop when he's drunk! tbh i still remember the first time i heard this unironically between two people arguing and it made me laugh 3. to get the rough end of the pineapple - as several of you correctly guessed this just means to get the raw end of a deal or recieve unfair treatment, to get shafted. ex: 2013 Sydney Morning Herald 23 October: We welcomed the byelection so we could send you the message: we don't support a government that is giving us the rough end of the pineapple. 4. on the wallaby - to be 'on the wallaby' is to have gone bush, to be travelling off the beaten track especially looking for seasonal work. it can also be used more generally to mean 'on the move'. this stems from 'on the wallaby track' which initially just referred to following the bush tracks worn by the animals. it's not especially common as an expression these days but still does the rounds. ex: shazza (sharon) went off 'on the wallaby' looking for work picking fruit up north 5. Barking Gecko posted:5. Real this basically covers it - 'don't come the raw prawn with me' is the most common form it and it basically just means 'don't try to pull one over on me'/'don't try to bullshit me' thanks for playing along friends, i will bring you more possible idioms and questionably true australian facts soon! |

Here's a similar game while you wait - is this part of a real jingle from an Australian TV advertisement, or something I made up just now? Paint supplies, paint supplies, for factory surplus batches, you'll pay less at paint supplies for cans with dents and scratches. Paints for this and paints for that, for town and country too! One call on the dog-and-bone, it's on the road to you! |

Also, this might be my favorite ad from my time in Adelaide, except for the one infomercial for a juicer at 2 in the morning that had a guy with huge eyebrows growling about how DEATH DEATH DEATH is what most food is made of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jj-B3cwXllQ |

Stoner Sloth posted:correct. amazingly all these terms are real: As a pommie I can chip in on 1, we still use "bodged" and "bodge job" for workmanship which is done without using correct processes or tools. Taping a plastic bag over a smashed car window (instead of just getting the glass replaced) is a classic bodge job. |

pnac attack posted:bodges are a thing p much everywhere that speaks english, i guess .au just ads the -ie cause they're cute makes sense - we seem to like adding vowels to the ends of stuff, most prolifically when shortening words and ending with 'o' or 'ie' examples of the former are ambo (ambulance/paramedic), muso (musicians) bottlo (drive thru bottle shop) and smoko (smoke/snack break) the latter includes sparkies (electricians), tinnies (can mean a tin boat/dinghy or a 'tin' can of beer depending on context), mozzies (mosquitoes) and aussie (you can probably guess this one) alternatively a y replaces the ie in words like footy (AFL) or chrissy (Christmas) more rarely some words are commonly used with any of these variants - rello, rellie, relly are all commonly used terms for relatives, flanno or flannie for flannalette shirts and commo or commie for communists i think it's mostly a way to sound informal |
