How 'bout = Septic tank

I know it's some Thingamajig, Thing-eme-bob, or Thingo

 

BINGO!!!!!!!!.............. Septic Tank = Yank.... sorry for my USA friends, but that's the slang. It probably died out around 10-15 years ago now, I've never heard it used in that period.

Lucky Guess ... total shot in the dark LOL

But how's my Aussie Slang, TAS?

 

LOL...... yeah, I noticed. *sigh* pretty good

Translate this...

I was out back of flamin Bourke the other day with me bludging bastard bloke mate and had some hard yakka to do with the old cockie down the road setting up some ironbark stumps and snaggletooth. He was trying to stop some mongrel dropkick from duffing.

Anyhow, since it was like a dead dingo's donga, we cracked a few from the slab we had, but there were millions of blowies which had us saluting all the time.

The job took us a few days and in the meantime had to use the long paddock for tucker. Of course to add to our woes, the Freemantle Doctor decided to arrive which only served to kick up the bulldust, spoiling our liquid lunch.

A few boomers arrived late arvos most days which the billy lids enjoyed immensely.

With the combination of the yakka and Freemantle Doctor and bulldust, the slab soon ran out, so had to resort to some plonk and then the orange and metho.

Since we were near the coast we went swimming until my bludging mate dropped a brown-eyed mullet which tried to compete with the few salties we saw. Of course it was a no contest, the salties even declined.

Caught a few muddies, which were nice tucker, and dropped a few tinnies to go with it.

Well the combination of the dead dingo donga weather, the plonk/orange-metho, the hard yakka, the blowies, the brown-eyed mullet, the Freemantle Doctor and bulldust, soon had us doing the old chunder thunder.

So we finished the week off by dropping into the local knock-shop for a quick fix.

Cheers, TAS

 

Well I couldn't tranlate it word for word ... but having watched Croc Dundee a few times I'll translate some of the terms.

Back of Bourke = the middle of nowhere
Mate = friend
Yakka = Work, usually labouring or other physically demanding work
Hard Yakka = hard work
Cockie = farmer
Mongrel = despicable person
snaggletooth = barbed wire
Dropkick = idiot
Duffing = rustling/stealing
Slab = case of beer
Blowie = blow fly
Salute = brushing/bating flies away
Long paddock = kinda of: the side of road/wildlife grazing area
Tucker = food
Fremantle Doctor = the cooling afternoon breeze
Bull dust = Dried dirt
Boomer = a large male kangaroo
Arvo = afternoon
Billy = large tin can used to boil water over a campfire for tea
~but billy lids~ I got know idea about
Plonk = cheap wine
Metho = methylated spirits
Brown-eyed mullet = a turd in the sea (where you're swimming!)
Salties = Salt water crocs
Muddies = mud crab
Tinnies : cans of beer
Dead dingo's donga weather = dry weather
~Old chunder thunder~ I got know idea about
Knock-shop - Booze can/ pub / parlor

So now I want a prize mate ... being made an honourary Aussie will do nicely

Cheers

And a little riddle:

On a clock, the big and small hand are exactly between 1 and 2. Both hands lay on top of each other.

What time is it?

 

Time to re-set or fix the clock. If the small (hour) hand is exactly between 1 and 2, then the time is 1:30. Therefore, the big (minute) hand should be exactly square on 6, indicating 30 minutes past the hour.

If I got this wrong, I'm gonna feel like a real dope. No Googling was used....

 

Hi Max,

Close, but sorry no, good explaination too. hint: your looking at the wrong 1 & 2 LOL

Steve

 

Oops....midnight. Good one!

 

Bingo! I love those trick questions ... LOL

Answer:
12:00.

The hands lie exactly between the 1 and 2 in the number "12".

Although very old coins tend to be worth more than their face value, why is it that 1980 five cent coins are worth about $100?
