I find some interesting Idioms in Brisbane @_@

[color=Green]My Australian friends tell me a lot  of funny things!!!! [/color]
[color=Green]Those idioms is quite amusing A_A[/color]
[color=Green]I think idioms is a entertaining method to learn English (more funny than English lessons XDDD )[/color]



[color=Blue][b][u]1.) Blood is worth bottling

[/u][/b][/color]    [color=Magenta]If an Australian says to you "Your blood is worth bottling", he/she is complimenting or praising you for doing something or being someone very special.[/color]

[color=Purple][b][u]2.) Cut down the tall poppies[/u][/b][/color]

    [color=YellowGreen]If people cut down the tall poppies, they criticise people who stand out from the crowd.[/color]

[color=Teal][b][u]3.) Dog-whistle politics[/u][/b][/color]

  [color=DeepSkyBlue] When political parties have policies that will appeal to racists while not being overtly racist, they are indulging in dog-whistle politics.[/color]

[color=Orange][b][u]4.) On the wallaby track[/u][/b][/color]

  [color=Navy]  In Australian English, if you're on the wallaby track, you are unemployed.[/color]

That's so funny , thanks for your sharing !

Do you have anything that related with Kangaroo or boomering??

l am not totally know what is that mean .Anyway , thank you for your sharing.

haha, didnt even know about the blood bottling or wallaby track. i thought that we only compliment someone by saying that "blooooooody greeat mate!" or that Wallaby is a smaller and tastier version of kangaroo.

cut down to size/ cut down the tall poppies/sticking up for the underdogs - same/similar meanings - meaning that if you stand too tall/arragont etc... people will be AGAINST you, or else siding with the perceive (what seems to be) the weaker side.

what does those jokes particular means -.-???
i don't understand even a lessOoO
Did you find funs?
i think chinese jokes are by far humour than those jokes ~O~

It is very GOOD thing
