When I started working (large Sydney CBD corp), it was common to great each other in the morning by "hey, reckon she bangs?".
That was the morning greeting - charming, isn't?
After a while of this, you lose track as to whether it's normal or not, and you start using it in real life. When I moved to NZ for a while, started greeting the in-laws with that line on a Saturday morning. Didn't go down all that well...
Tried that greeting recently here in the US, imagine the poor buggers' faces...
Built like a brick s**t house
Busier than a Baghdad brickie

Yank asked me one day after I got off the plane at Newman, "how many people on the flight this morning"
I just muttered "F... all" as one does when the plane is less than half full
He asked me three more times before I realised that he couldn't make head nor tail of what I was saying.
His answer to my reply when I explained that maybe 15-20 people was:
"Son, that dont make no literary sense"
Some mechanical ones
More leaks than a Chinese restaurant
Thrown a leg out of bed (cylinder block ventilated with con rod or something similar)
