I will give 10 points to anyone that can give me the best Australian slang phrase or word they have heard of, the meaning of the term, and the reason that you think it's the best one.
My personal favourites are:
"Don't come the raw prawn"...I STILL don't really know what that means....
"...carrying on like a pork chop"...what DOES a pork chop "carry" on like?
"Crook as Rookwood"...I think more a Sydney thing, to do with what was, for a long time (and maybe still is) Sydney's largest cemetry, Rookwood.
Lastly: "Dry as a nun's C***"...the last word rhymes with stunt. Pretty self-explanatory that one. Yes, something that is very dry, and reportedly nun's stunts are.
The more, the better. So, get cracking!!!

I once heard an Aussie say, " Starve the fuckin' lizards!". I have no idea what it means, or in what context it would be used, all Iknow is, it tickled the **** outta me. Every time I think of that line, I smile.

for me, it's the word 'drongo'!
i know it's stereotypical but i used to work with an aussie girl and she used that word a lot!
Australian slang: A "no-hoper" or fool. Derives from a racehorse of that name in the 1920's that never won a race out of 37 starts.

Pugwash.
It's aussie slang for a bl*wjob, as in "G'day Sheila, do you give pugwash?"
It's my favourite because it was used in an early childrens program called "Captain Pugwash" by a very naughty Michael Bentine.
