Yep i know them all,was brought up in a household that would use these sayings a lot.
Here"s a few more.....you might know
1.Frog and toad=The road

2.Brown bread=Dead
3.Merchant navy=Gravy
4.Dead horse=Tomato sauce
5.Slip in the gutter=Butter
6.Ducks and geese=The Police
7.Cheese and kisses=The Mrs
8.Skin blister=Sister
9.Jack Macnab=Cab
10.Hell of a fright=Light
This form of slang rhymes with the word in question
e.g Around the Jack horner...(corner)
Going to the rub a dub dub (pub)
Getting a hell of a fuss (bus)

And a whippersnapper is a young mischevious kid.

An Aussie-ism I often use is a 'whippersnipper'. Any non-Aussie care to try to guess what that is?

Correct, known in UK as a strimmer, in NZ as a line trimmer, in France as a debrousailleuse. I think it's weed eater in US.

All my first lot of words were euphanisms for a fight as correctly said by a number of Aussies.

Would anyone like different Aussie slang examples to try and work out?

Very clourful and bloody confusing to visitors from OS. (over seas)
