Love it ~
An Aussie saying and I am stealin it.I can't think of an American saying at the moment!
Do you have one? Don't forget to tell us what it mean ~~ ya know. For the ones in Cali.
My editor actually made me cut a local bit of slang that I had a character say: I'm so hungry that my stomach thinks my throat has been cut.
She simply could not grasp what it meant and so I had to rewrite the line to clarify.

The 2.25L Darwin Stubby was conceived by Carlton and United Brewery in 1958 to satisfy the hearty appetite of Territory beer drinkers, whose love of the amber fluid could not be confined to 750ml, the largest grog vessel at the time.

I can't really grasp it either....it doesn't make sense. Does it?
Two phrases that mean the same thing however depends which state in Oztralia you are in
Cutting his lunch
Or
Cutting his grass
Example is where two fellas are out and one is chatting up a girl. If the other moves in and starts making his moves on the girl then that bloke is cutting his mates lunch.

"Por más que el mono se vista de seda, mono se queda."
This little rhyming ditty literally means "a monkey can dress up in silk, but it's still a monkey" and is used in the same context that one would hear a leopard can't change it's spots, or you can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.
You hear this one a lot where I live in Puerto Rico, but I don't think it is unique to here, but common to the Spanish speaking world.
