Can you guess what these Aussie sayings mean?
Australians are renown for our laid back lifestyle and quirky sense of humour. We also have some ridiculous sayings that have somehow permeated our culture.
For a bit of a laugh - I thought I'd share a few with you.
• Fair Dinkum
• Give a bloke a go
• Fit as a mallee bull
• She’ll be right mate
• A knuckle sandwich
• Drongo
• Lower than a snake’s belly
• Scarce as hen’s teeth
• A stickey beak
• Half your luck
• Not within a cooee
• Spit the dummy
• Back of Bourke
• Flat out like a lizard drinking
• It’s your shout
Now I personally don't tend to use any of these sayings in my day to day life (Except for - Spit the dummy - that one comes in useful) but I know what they all mean - can you figure them out?
Good luck.

There's about three I can either figure out or already know on the list here, but the rest no, sorry. Sometimes I have an easier time when I read them within the story.

My personal two favourites are -Spit the dummy - generally in reference to an adult male who is having a temper tantrum over something ridiculous, resembling a screaming child who just spat out their pacifier.
Flat out like a lizard drinking - busy. Not that you'd ever catch me using this saying. I just think it's amusing.
