Pop your clogs...English/Yanklish/Aussie translations

In the interests of multinational togetherness, it has been suggested that a thread be started so "English-speaking" posters can discuss words, expressions and phrases that are peculiar to their local version of English.

To start things off, here's an English expression:

"To pop one's clogs" Meaning: to die
____________

Classic:

Would a British Gentleman want his daughter knocked up before breakfast? Yes. Otherwise she might miss breakfast.

American meaning for knocked up: Pregnant.

My search for the Seinfeld commercial where he has to "learn the language" in England hasn't met with success.

One of the things I like about Aussie speak are the phrases like:

Busy as a one-legged dwarf in a giant bum-kicking contest

And:

Nervous as a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

I suspect, though, that those phrases may also be used in the USA.

However, the phrase:

"That tucker would kill a brown dog" is undoubtedly Aussie in origin! In case you can't guess, it means "That food is simply dreadful"
