1. Do you understand the meaning, but are unable to explain the origin of, the term 'died in the arse'? Have no idea what it means, but its making me feel ill

2. What is a "bloody little beauty"? Something good, like a free beer

3. Are these terms related: chuck a sickie; chuck a spaz; chuck a U-ey? Nah

4. Explain the following passage: 'In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo.' Typical Aussie Christmas??!?!?!? ;)

5. Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 km/h while listening to Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash? Presumably they are driving a holden ute or ford falcon, so they wouldn't be going as slow as 100, so wouldnt have as much time to consume beer, so a conservative estimate would be about 6 :D

6. Complete the following sentences:
a) 'If the van's rockin' don't bother ? Knockin ( i prefer 'dont laugh mister, your daughter could be in here' )
b) You're going home in the back of a ? :dunno:
c) Fair crack of the ? Whip (thought Sue would get that one ;)

7. I've had a gutful and I can't be fagged. Discuss you shit me, I'm off to the pub

8. Have you ever been on the giving or receiving end of a wedgie? yep

9. Do you have a friend or relative who has a car in their front yard 'up on blocks'? Is his name Bruce and does he have a wife called Cheryl? How common!!! ;)

10. Does your family regularly eat a dish involving mincemeat, cabbage, curry powder and a packet of chicken noodle soup called either chow mein, chop suey or kai see ming? I'm Vego

11. What are the ingredients in a rissole? Breadcrumbs and chicken

12. Demonstrate the correct procedure for eating a Tim Tam. Suck your coffee through it or inhale the whole pack in about 5 minutes

13. Do you have an Aunty Irene who smokes 30 cigarettes a day and sounds like a bloke? Nah

14. In any two-hour period have you ever eaten three-bean salad, a chop and two serves of pav washed down with someone else's beer that has been flogged from a bath full of ice? If I've been drinking beer, I rarely remember what I have been eating :o

15. When you go to a bring- your-own-meat barbie can you eat other people's meat or are you only allowed to eat your own? I'm the awkard vego, so nobody eats what I bring and their snags are quite safe

16. What purple root vegetable beginning with the letter 'b' is required by law to be included in a hamburger with the lot? Beetroot, should be banned

17. Do you own or have you ever owned a lawn mower, a pair of thongs, an Esky or Ugg boots? Yes to all of them

18. Is it possible to 'prang a car' while doing 'circle work'? Uh, yes :dunno:

19. Who would you like to crack on to? I should really say my husband shouldnt I

20. Who is the most Australian: Kevin 'Bloody' Wilson, John 'True Blue' Williamson, Kylie Minogue or Warnie? Uh, where's the beer Sue?

21. Is there someone you are only mates with because they own a trailer or have a pool? Not yet, but working on it

"Died in the arse" one of these expressions that you know when to use but find it difficult to explain. Best I can come up with is something looks as if it's going to be successful but in the end is a dismal failure. I don't think that's a very good explanation but it will have to do!
