Fuzz Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Tried to understand, Quite lost with a couple: whacked in the niagra falls (kind of self-explanatory I think) oik oik birdy milz? - what he actually says is, "like, like bloody Burke and Wills". Bee's wanger innit? Get your jacksie down, bang it on the seat? Here's the translation for you: whacked in the niagra falls (kind of self-explanatory I think) - getting hit in the plums oik oik birdy milz? - what he actually says is, "like, like bloody Burke and Wills". Burke & Wills were 2 European explorers who got lost in the Australian Outback. Some say they courageously went out to explore the Outback, others say they were 2 tossers who didn't know what the frig they were doing and got their whole expedition killed. So what the Honey Badger is saying is, "Our tactic was to charge up the middle without regard and hope that it works. Bee's wanger innit? - the game was really close and we lost by a very small margin Get your jacksie down, bang it on the seat? - get your arse over here and sit down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed... and that is the problem with democracy And the irony is that she was born in Wales and came to Australia as a 5 year-old. I guess it didn't take her long to learn 'strine'.
