Curses and Insults only Your Fellow Countrymen Would Truly Understand

[Heathrow]

(Two guys talking in a Bar type scenario.)

Variants of "I disagree with you":
- Leave it out!
- Are you sure?
- Is this a wind-up?
- Are you taking the piss?
- Nah, that's Bollocks!
- Talk silly, Dave! (Reverse piss-taking logic.)

- Git-awa-ti-fuck! (Glasgow, Scotland.)

What's a bell end?

Applicable to males only, a really annoying idiot.
(Basically any male "winner" of TV "talent" or "reality" shows, are good examples.)

What's a bell end?

It refers to the glans penis (Warning: Link contains anatomical photographs and could therefore be considered NSFW!!) because it is vaguely bell shaped. The same applies when you call someone a "helmet" which is another expression.

They are relatively mild because, essentially, you're only calling someone a partial dick.

I've always thought it was similar, but less vulgar, to the American "dick head" insult.

It is. The bell end is the head of the dick.

_______________________________________

A lot of Australian terms were inherited from the British, but there are some that I am confident are home-grown. Wombat, Galah, Bludger, Drongo, Piker, Bogan and Numbat are probably all Aussie terms.

A "Numbat" or "Drongo" is an idiot. Drongo doesn't have a non-slang meaning. The real meaning of numbat is a type of marsupial ant-eater.

A "Galah" is a particularly silly or foolish kind of idiot. In reality, it is a pink and grey parrot of the Cockatoo family-

A "Bludger" is a lazy person who tries to get out of doing work. A person who avoids getting a job while receiving unemployment benefits (known as the "dole") is a "Dole-bludger". "Bludging" is used as a verb.

A "Piker" is somebody who backs out of something that has been agreed upon. It is usually used by school children for somebody who agrees to meet after school for a fight and then doesn't go through with it. When used as a verb, the term is "piking out".

A "Bogan" is a low-class, unsophisticated person who lives up to certain stereotypes. It is similar in meaning to the American terms "redneck" and "white trash". It has no non-slang meaning.

A "Wombat" is slang for a man who just shows up to his girlfriend's place to get fed and laid, before taking off again. Real wombats are burrow-dwelling marsupials that eat roots and leaves. In Australia "to root" is to have sex, so a when you call a man a "Wombat" you are saying that he "eats... roots... and leaves".
