1. Don’t piss in me pocket 

"You are overly flattering me."

2. Flat out like a lizard drinking

"A very busy person."

3. As cunning as a rat in a brick sh*t house 

"Someone not to be trusted."

4. Laugh into the big white telephone

"The act of vomiting into a toilet."

5. A face like a dropped pie

"Not a person blessed with good looks."

6. Full as a butcher's pup

"A person who has eaten enough and is satisfied."

7. I had a dingo's breakfast

"I’ve had a pee and a good look around." 

8. A bees dick

"A very very small amount." 

9. Got up at sparrows fart

"I got up very early this morning."

10. Yeah nah/ nah yeah

This is hard to translate, meaning something like: after considering the pros and cons, the speaker has quickly landed on a decision
