  I just invented a new word.
  
  Like all Australian inventions it was born from necessity, in this case to bridge the gap between intercontinental relations. In line with the popular “Fair dinkim” and the classic “Ya reckon” I present to to you
  
  C’arn
  
  Inspired by the classic Aussie “C’mon” meaning – please hurry up. I believe C’arn will soon superseed and replace C’mon in the interests of and benifit to Globalisation.
  
  C’arn:
  pronounced: Karrr’uunn.
  verb: I told you hurry up already.
  noun: You’re full of shit.
  pro-noun: Honestly.. You’re full of shit.
  adjective: Come on now, you have to be freakin kidding me.

  lol. I love the Australian slang. I have a book called Old Time Aussie Quips. Billy lids = kids. Barry beef = teeth. Froth and bubble = trouble. etc. When all strung together it’s so funny.

  Rhyming Slang
  Me mother’s away, as I was swiftly flowing up the field of wheat in the bread-and-jam, a heavenly plan with a big charming mottle of O-my-dear sticking out of his sky-rocket fancy sashed the girl-abductor on his bundle-of-socks with it cos he wouldn’t lethim have a virgin-bride for nothing.
  
  Translation
  The other day as I was going up the street in a tram a man with a big bottle of beersticking out of his pocket bashed the conductor over the head (i. e. think-box) with it(i. e. the bottle) because hi wouldn’t let him have a ride for nothing.

  Aussie colloquialism
  I had a dogs eye covered in dead horse and ripped off this balltearer horse and cart that came from Ned Kelly. The cheese and kisses just flipped her lid. I said, I pay Jack and Jill and I’m the pitch and toss of this teaddy bear. With that I hit the frog and toad for the rubbity dub and had a couple of cuff links.
  
  Translation
  I had a pie covered in sauce a did an awesome fart that came from the belly. The missus’ (wife) just went crazy. I said, I pay the bills and I’m the boss of this lair. With that I went down the road to the pub for a couple of drinks.
  :lol:
