Dempsey is a Wentworth fox.

First topic message reminder :

I have chooks & foxes in the area where I live. So we wired the bottom of the coup so they couldn't dig underneath to get to them. 
My sister lives 1000km away in Wentworth.  She stupidly said one day....that wont stop the foxes we get.   

Oh? So your foxes run around with a tool belt on do they?      

Its now a saying in this house. Must be a Wentworth fox that did it!

In a mo I'll be up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire and grab some night winks.

Jesus christ!    you gotta go to another town for a sleep?  
(Aussie response would be... you better get your sh1t together then.)   

Translation...
You're going upstairs to bed to go to sleep in a min.

We'd say...
Im going up the ladder for some shut eye in a squiz.

Should start another post for sayings.

I have absolutely no idea at all - but then Eleanor is about 35 (ish) years younger than me!  

I'm guessing it's a word used as an exclamation mark. A little like "bam". I have no bloody idea.... 

Hopefully some young people will be along shortly to help out those of us with a touch of the elderly.     

Damn, I really am feeling elderly now. Thanks Eleanor...  

Hehehehehe.

The word 'Brap' is one of the most infuriating words around. I despise it! Usually exclaimed at the end of a sentence, supposed to sound like a gunshot and often accompanied by 'gun fingers'.

Another way of saying, "Ooooh, burn!" if you insult somebody

"Oooh burn" is an insult?  

We just say....
you're lower than a snakes ass.

Or in true aussie (male) bush slang....
I wouldn't p1ss on you if you were on fire!

Brap?.... come on! That's like smacking a hand.
