That's what I reckon too Sheba - either God's truth - or that's the truth.
How about - "where ya going?" "down the frog and toad" "waffor?' "see a man about a dog" "no wuckers!"
Now, that's fair dinkum, doncha reckon??

My dad used all that Aussie terminology - strewth, bloody bottler, beaut, bonza, hum dinger, shoot through (like a Bondi tram). You rarely hear any of it nowadays. Rhyming slang is disappearing from the vernacular as well.

Yeah, I was out the back the other day talkin to a china plate who was moaning about his tommy tut being a bit sore when a big joe blake went past. Well, we both reached for the wire but was to late. The bleeder went through the fence. I turned to me china plate and said stone the crows, that was a biggun. As we both as dry as dead dingoes dongers, we into the shed and got a beer.
No wonder a lot of foreigners have trouble with the English Language!

Rhyming slang is very working class English. The TV series "Minder" had a lot of rhyming slang, often abbreviated to make it even more obscure, eg when "Arfur" Daley used to get "Brahms'n" (short for Brahms and Liszt)

Yeah my old man used to talk in C ockney rhyming slang a lot. Dad: Hey nip up the apples and pairs and grab me bag of fruit, I'm going up the rubbity for a couple of King Lears. Mum: well don't go getting all Brahms and taking a Jimmy Riddle on the doorstep again.
That's sounds about right.
My motto is; me know nuffin.
