Love to read/use Australian slang words/phrases out there, please share some you have heard or use to add to my list of many. You may want to add the meaning as some have many meanings.
Like to kick of a game a little like the flow of five letter word game it goes like this:-
I put down DOG AND BONE,
The next person puts down PHONE [which is the meaning] and then puts down word/phrase DUNNY DIVER so someone else could continue it on.
I will kick it off with the meaning of DUNNY DIVER and give you another one to continue it on.
A plumber

Yes. I've always loved that one.it conjures up an image that always makes me laugh.."pffft"? Do birds actually do that, I wonder.
Ok, probably wrong again, an echo is a stubby: small, 1/2 size bottle of beer in some states
