I think yall just make up these twee sayings to fuck with other English speakers. I used to work with a British lad and he'd just randomly say shit like "oi my tizzy welp is proper fussed for da queens biscuits!" And act like we all should have understood wtf he was saying.
Yeah that happens too. If you think it's codswallop, they might just be over-egging the pudding.
I'm not British and this is perfectly intelligible.
Old mate is being a galah and telling furphies.
or another way, if you reckon that if you had a butchers in Cobber's nut you'd find him a few flies short of a dunny 'cause of his doggeral: he might be pissing on your leg and telling you it's raining
Doggeral is adderal for dogs
If you had a squiz in old mates noggin on account of his lingo you'd see a few roos loose, or he may be having a lend of you
Edit: bit cringe but. I would use these independently but never as densely vernacular in a single sentence like the above
Yeah for sure. Wasn't sure about sticky beak vs butcher's either. Butchers is a bit rarer these days, along with apples.
Sticky beak for sure. Also one of my favourite picture books as a kid
I just love rhyming slang though. Singlehandedly keeping it alive in my area.
I'm lost and I'm loving it!
Wind your neck in, swot.
Well there son, as a proper Merican fella, I ain't got no ider one which way or the or the other what in the chicken fried steak you be saying there.
They said if you think it's bs it's possible it's rich. I think.
