I really have to finish this thread, as it is getting very long. But another I heard on the TV( australian word is telly) tonight is 'Hard Yakka'. Any Australian can tell you that that means hard work, like in manual labour. I think the origins are from the company that makes work wear, overalls and such, that outdoor workers wear. I suppose when you are wearing your Yakka overalls you are doing hard yakka! I remember my father wearing them all his working life. He was a carpet layer by trade. Colin, the bloke that lives across the street, wears them all the time. He's going somewhere really fancy when he is wearing trousers*g*.
