Sorry girl i do forget how aussie iam here sometimes that saying "jump his bones" means getting in the mood for LOVE girl...got it now...lol...
We say "jumping his bones" here in Canada, too, eh.
I once worked with a man who hailed from Leeds, England, which dialect-wise, wasn't all that different from that which I heard on Coronation Street every week. He said something to the staff one day that left them all staring at each other, perplexed. Me being a long-time viewer of CS (well, at least until my TV broke), I was able to translate what he said into, um, English.
Haven't had to use my expertise in Aussie-speak, though it's a bit rusty because, as I mentioned, my tv's been bust these many months, and I haven't had a chance to catch up on my favourite Aussie tv shows (there used to be quite a few, but not so many, the last time I looked, anyhow). Mind you, I only have a smattering of down-under....
I recall a member here getting hot under the collar when Heather called him a "a clever dick". "Dick" in North American doesn't mean quite the same thing as it does in Australia or Britain. I tried to explain to him that it wasn't the insult he thought it was, but I don't think I convinced him.... It's one of those "two countries separated by a common language" thing that even Canadians encounter with Americans.

You like some of our aussie shows eh TD? Which ones?...
Two of them were police shows - Water Rats and Blue Heelers. I was watching Neighbours as well, for a while, but it was on at weird times so I kept missing installments. There two others, both medical shows, one about lawyers settling medical malpractice suits (its name escapes me, since I haven't been able to watch tv for over six months and I'd only just started watching it) and the other had one of the actors who had played a cop on Blue Heelers playing a really, really arrogant doctor (and he'd shaved off all of his lovely hair in his role as the doctor! arrggghhhh!). Don't recall the name of that one either.
I really need to get my tv fixed.
