is it true that "no wuckers" is short for "no wucking furries"? cause if so that's pretty funny

alright some good guesses here - and now for some answers!

1. it'll be alright, things will work out
2. a person from queensland (also lol at the additional meaning someone pointed out here, that is rad) because queensland grows a lot of bananas
3. far away or not even close - can be used for distance or metaphorically 'that isn't within cooee of being acceptable'
4. to get an erection
5. to wake up, have a yawn, take a piss and take a look around - no food involved
6. the fremantle doctor is a cooling sea breeze that hits the western australian city of Perth on summer afternoons coming in from the direction of Freemantle
7. aussie version of holy moly - an exclamation of surprise
8. a sheep - most famously from a song about stealing them called 'waltzing matilda'
9. goodbye
10. authentic, honest, genuine article
11. this one is fake, i made it up
12. brilliant, great or fantastic - 'that was a real rip snorter of a party the other week!'

and our bonus number

13. no way, not a chance, i disagree, that's full of poo poo - 'give you five bucks for that lamp?' 'pig's arse you will! it's worth at least twenty!'

the reason for the bonus there is that it was most famously used by ex-LNP politician and long time president of Carlton football club John Elliot who died the day i put up these idioms. he was heavily satirized back in the day by a show called 'rubbery figures' (a term meaning manipulated accounting especially by government) which used puppets to make fun of political leaders of the day. never agree with the guys politics but seemed appropriate to include

thank you all for playing, stay tuned for more idioms soon!

hey I was vaguely right on a few! guess that makes me an honorary outback mouseketeer, as we strayans say.
