Today we are celebrating Australia Day!
I've decided to enter a very unusual challenge. I'll try not to make a proper galah of myself but I can't promise anything. I thought about this long and hard, but decided that I might as well give it a burl... crikey, this is tough!
I think of myself as a creative person, but with PAPER, not words. It's getting late, so I'll go like the clappers and get this done...and Bob's your uncle!
(In American English.... I've decided to enter a very unusual challenge. I'll try not to make a fool of myself, but I can't promise anything. I thought about this long and hard, but I might as well give it a try.... OMG, this is tough! I think of myself as a creative person, but with PAPER, not words. It's getting late, so I'll move quickly and get this done... and there you have it. )
a few phrases and "my" meanings...
* Well I’ll be buggered! --
My dad had a saying this reminded me of.... "I'll be cow kicked by a mule! which meant something like, I'm amazed....
* Fair dinkum--
a fair chance?
* Buggerlugs--
rain boots?
* Ningnong--
egg nog?
* Good Onya!--
good omen?
* Rough end of the stick--
bad end of the deal?
So here's what inspired this unusual post....
I'm playing the game because it sparked my interest-- it's a fun challenge!! I already love Make it Crafty, I enjoy reading the posts and getting ideas.
