Aussie 'slang'
Give us some 'Aussie Slang' and its interpretation.
Don't forget, if you get the quote out of a book or by some other means, or know who said it,
you must acknowledge the author, in writing, after the quote/interpretation!
35 degrees in a water bag - It's bloody hot out here.
Your turn.......

hit the frog and toad.....(hit the road)
Not sure where that came from either.
I got heaps!!!!
Did you know where the word daygo came from?
When the italians worked on the docks many many moons ago they could hardly speak a word of English. At the end of each day they would put their hand out to the dock masters and say "day go" "day go", meaning the day has gone, pay up!!!
I cant be sure this is 100% true but i have heard this story ever since i was a kid so it is plausible.
