Haha never heard ballbag but I like it!
Australians are very liberal when it comes to 'curse' words. This advertising campaign was banned in other places like the UK when we thought nothing of it at all:
Pretty much the most common 'swearing' that you'll hear in Australia is the word "bloody" before everything, in the middle of words, just anywhere.
"You bloody ripper!"
"You bloody beauty!"
"Fan-bloody-tastic" etc.
Other words/ phrases that are often used here are things like bugger, f
uck me dead, f
uckwit, d
ickhead, up the duff, donga/donka, tosser... plus loads more which are way too offensive for my liking! I guess these aren't unique to Australia but used pretty freely haha. It's true that Australians are brilliant at swearing... something I'm definitely not proud of :/
