    Australia has some good ones too.

    Are you busy? “flat out like a lizard drinking”

    Should we start? “I’m not here to fuck spiders”

    "going off like a gumtree on a gas line " was a common saying in our school, but I’m not sure how wide spread that one is, referring to how damn flammable they are.

    I also love that “a bees dick” is a valid unit of measurement on most construction sites.

      That lizard sounds both extremely busy, and also… not busy at all!
