Aussie Expressions (Trigger Warning: NSFW, Racist, Sexist, etc.)

Before anyone goes into full-on “Karen” mode (no offense to the Karens out there), I want to offer a heads-up that these expressions reflect everyday Aussie culture. They’re out there in the open.

I’ve come across some brilliant phrases that really capture a situation, event, or comparison.

Here are a few classics:
– As dry as a dead dingo’s donger.
– She bangs like a dunny door in the wind.
– Windy enough to blow Jesus off the cross.
– As dry as a nun’s… well, you know.
– Sweating like a pedo at a Wiggles concert.
