Having dropped a common Aussie saying (ugly as a hatfull of arseholes) when responding to Indo today.

I lament that this part of Aussie culture is dying with my kids generation. Are we losing our unique bastardised version of the English language.

What’s your favourite sayings? Do you still use them?

Dry as a dead dog's [redacted]?

Not here to [redacted] spiders?

Madder than a cut snake?

Running around like a headless chook?

I’ll start…
Couldn’t organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of fifties.
I’m so hungry I could eat the arse out of a low flying duck.
It would be also interesting to see regional variations or “I’ve never heard that ever”

I prefer 'face like a dropped pie'.

Seen a better head on a beer.
About as organised as a whores handbag.

As useful as an ashtray on a motorbike..

He's so unlucky if he fell into a bucket of tits he'd come out sucking his thumb.

(Not quite an Aussie saying. That was actually from a Sid the Sexist cartoon in a Viz comic that I read almost forty years ago.)

I’m as dry as a nun’s nasty
His teeth are so bucked he could eat an apple through a tennis racket
As popular as a cut snake in a sleeping bag
So ugly she/he would scare a dog out of a butcher’s shop
Just call him pantyhose, lower than a ***t
He/she has a face only a mother could love
I’m drier than the bottom of a cockie’s cage
Uglier than a sack full of arseholes
I’m so hungry cut it’s horns and tail off and send it in
A man is not camel give me a drink

The lights are on but noone is home
Couple of roos short in the top paddock

Your mother is so ugly when she tried to enter an ugly contest, they said sorry no professionals.
When she was born they almost threw her out and kept the afterbirth.
She's so ugly she knows the price of drinks at the bar.
