Porcelain bus

Just a quick note to highlight some quirky Aussie expressions that I read today in this news item on BBC Online:
dodgy dagwood dog = battered sausage
drive the porcelain bus = clutching a toilet bowl with both hands while vomiting
crook = sick
In the meantime, more Aussie expressions from the BBC Online:
jillaroos = female cattle station workers
jackaroos = male cattle station workers
Big Dry = 2007 drought of the century
And this contribution came from the AFP:
mulesing = cutting a slice of flesh from a sheep's rump
