And welcome back to my sadly neglected Australianisms thread, mainly because I was apart from my resident Australian for a while there ;-; Today we have a TRIPLE FUCKING THREAT ENTRY! Mainly because this entry is, like, super fucking sweary.
Entry 5: Fuck That For A Joke
Fuuuuuuuuck thaaaaaaaat.
I'll do that the day I willingly walk into dropbear territory. I'll do that the day it snows in the outback. I'll do that the day... look, seriously mate, this is fucking stupid.
"You want me to swim with the crocs for a holiday snap? Fuck that for a joke."
Entry 6: Fuck Yas, And Fuck The Lot Of Yas
Fuuuuuuuck youuuuuuu.
Often delivered with a sardonic 'fark' sound in place of the 'fuck'. So incredibly Australian that it actually has its own sign-language short translation.
"Well, foreman just let me go without severance pay - I'll be going to Fair Work about this. Fuck yas, and fuck the lot of yas."
Entry 7: Mad As A Cut Snake
Maaaaad aaaaas aaaa...
To be very mad. In both senses.
In an incredible use of economy, both ideas of being incredibly angry and excessively crazy are rolled into one delightful package here.
"You'd best not be around when Mad Mick Bludger comes running by mate, someone egged his car and he's madder than a cut snake!"
