Have your heard some Australian slang than downright makes no sense! For example, Flat Out Like Lizard drinking.
 
If yes, we'd love to hear them - and maybe Kangaruni can explain what they mean!!

Well flat out like a lizard drinking, comes from the fact that lizards make a nice meal to birds of prey, such as eagles, (possibly a Manly sea-eagle, which is a rare and endangered species), so when they go to the watering hole, they have to lay as a close as possible to the ground, otherwise they will leave a shadow, which will attract the attention of the eagle...hence the term "flat out like a lizard drinking"

What about the term "busier than a one-legged man in an arse kicking competition?"  Has anybody heard of that one?
