Filthiest book in the Aussie language
By Andrew Hunter
September 20, 2004

MOST entries in The Bugle's Dicktionary are - to borrow a phrase from its
author - off like a bucket of warm sick.

Up your's ... Pegler's 1000-odd descriptions of genitalia, copulation and
bodily functions are gasp-out-loud funny.

And that's the whole point of the book.

Andrew Pegler's follow-up to John Howard's Little Book of Truth is like a
naughty schoolboy's dream, each page bursting with gasp-out-loud funny
descriptions of genitalia, copulation and bodily functions.

Inspired by Viz comic's Roger's Profanisaurus and a misspent youth,
Pegler says his collection of particularly Australian filth aims to
"throw up the biggest challenge to the English language since Jeff
Fenech learnt to talk".

"I have been making up words for things since before I could speak," the
Melbourne-based author says.

"I also spent 20 years in footy and surf clubs which make a fertile
ground for inventing a language specific to an environment . mostly
clever ways of saying something profane without actually using
profanity."

Pegler could tell you, for example, his nocturnal donkey wanted to
exercise the ferret with a Malvern Star, only to discover she ran in
from the pavilion end. Pretty harmless stuff at face value but if you
knew his true meaning you might - to borrow another phrase - chuck a
Dokic.

After trawling through the 1000-odd entries, we've listed 10 of the
cleaner items. Finding printable examples was not easy.

How good is your grasp of Aussie profanity? Try to figure out the
meanings for the words listed below.

1. Hungry a***
2. Park the custard
3. Heave a Havana, to
4. Guns of Navarone
5. Eat breakfast backwards, to
6. Dead heat in a zeppelin race
7. Bury a quaker, to
8. Rex Hunt
9. Passhole
10. Lower than shark s***

I don't understand posting something about the vulgar use of language

and using *** to clean it up. If you are going to comment on the use
of "shark shit", then write "shark shit". If "shark shit" offends
you, then don't post about it.

They called it "Up Yours." I have not seen "your's" used by a serious
writer.

That is precisely *why* I took the trouble to point out that I was not
the original poster, but passing on something I found on another news
group.
