G'Day STreakers, (there's more than one meaning for STreakers u know)

"Drop the boys off at the pool". A2Z came out with this one at Ebor.

At the time I said "You're going to do what? What are you talking about?"

Allen said "Haven't u heard that one". Nope. "Means I'm going to the loo for No2's".

Anyway, I took his word for it. 15-love to A2Z.

On the way home to the Gong thru Armidale a group of us stopped at the Kentucky Cafe for some curly chips and coffee. There on the bench was a book of Australian slang called "Lingo".

I said to A2Z, "That saying better b in this book my friend" and he said "It will be" and it was. 30-love to A2Z.

After arriving back home at the Gong I said to my 15 yo daughter "What does 'Drop the boys off at the pool" mean and Danika said without hesitation "It means go and do no.2's Dad". 40-love to A2Z.

My last chance was Mother Terese but even her saintliness knew what it meant. Game set and match to Allen.

I had heard that one but not for a while. Must get another look at that book next time through Kentucky.

Well I was privy to the same conversation with these boys, the bit that Gregory left out was this all happened at the BREAKFAST TABLE !!!! Now fecal conversation is nothing new to me around the dinning table at work, but never thought it would poke its head out

at a RTE.

Pockie - You're right but I don't have to apologise cause it wasn't breakfast - that was at Ebor. That meal at the Kentucky Cafe surely was Brunch and surely chocolate mousse is ok for discussion then?
NuckNuckNuckBuzzinga!

Having "The Tortoise poking it's head out"

is when you are really desperate to "Drop the kids off at the pool"

Thanks guys, my step daughter now thinks I'm completely mad, I'm sitting here laughing my head off.

A2Z · « **Reply #12 on:** July 14, 2013, 10:49:45 PM »

Don't blame me. It was my then 15 y/o son who taught me that. KIDS!! They're such a bad influence.

This made me laugh. Brought back memories. We said exactly the same thing in the Ambulance, only we gave birth to a Superintendent. And i knew a few who I swear where born that way.
