Aussie idioms.
A chapter in the book Idioms Explained
Donga, here I come
by royowen
Donga here I come ...
I am moving to the DONGA way beyond the OLD BLACK STUMP. Most
So I'm driving out to WOOP--WOOP tired of living in this dump.
Now I'm gonna take my SHEILA - if you understand my DRIFT.
Outback where the dingo's waiting, where the JUMBUCK makes it's shrift.
There's a branch short of a bank vault, with a dollar shy five cents.
Yet I'm CHOCKERS feeling BONZA, though I cannot pay the rent.
By the BILLABONG I'm camping with five COBBERS by my side.
Wearing nought but BUDGIE SMUGGLERS waiting for the evening tide.
It might be fair to lick the bottle sucking out tomato sauce.
With four STUBBIES in a six-pack that's just on par for the course.
Simmo played a real rip-snorter, that's FAIR DINKUM now my friend.
You may kick me in the back-side, then I'll have a sore rear end.
Fred the fox is in the hen-house,
causing chaos for the girls.
But I will boil my BILLY here
while my SHEila dives for pearls.
