I love all the the Aussie expressions that get thrown into a conversation from time to time.
So I thought I would start this thread as a bit of fun.

Here's a few it kick it off.

Having a Barry Crocker - having a shocker
A bit George Clooney - a bit looney
The cheese and kisses - the misses
Going off like a frog in a sock
Sweating like a gypsy with a mortgage.
Mad as a cut snake

Chris - the 'hungry' one I've heard differently... it involves a dead horse!

In Adelaide I hear this around a little when I'm around car people:

"LIZBIFF SPEC" - really crappy commodore.

"Lizbiff" refers to Elizabeth, SA where it is pretty much bogan central and you see quite a lot of commies around.

Edit: not sure if this actually counts, lol.

The dog and bone - the phone
A few roos loose in the top paddock - a little crazy
I'm so hungry I could eat the arse out of a low flying duck - I'm hungry
I could eat the crotch out of a rag doll through a cane chair - I'm hungry
Drier than a dead dingos donger on a hot day -I'm thirsty

...it actually means the opposite - lizards don't drink, so it means you're doing nothing.
