as a kid that my dear old Dad "knew them all" & as an adult I was absolutely convinced he did.He was a really amazing bloke but it was so annoying at times that my friends & I could never come up with anything that he hadn't heard before <LOL>
Must admit that your full version is new to me.I had heard him say I don't give a Rat's Toss - but he never added the bag bit.
I sometimes wonder how on earth the Balinese people or people from any country that Aussies travel to manage to cope with the huge range of slang we use.Although I have found that it's hard enough as a South Aussie trying to order a Fritz & sauce sandwich in Melbourne <LOL> Heaven help you if you go into a deli interstate & try & order a dog's eye with dead "orse".
