Hmmmm... did it again, didn't I? Slipped in another expression you guys don't normally use. This time, however, it is NOT exclusively Australian slang .. (grin)
pish int. expr. contempt, impatience or disgust [imit]
tosh n. (
sl.) rubbish, nonsense. [19th c. of unkn. orig.]
Both definitions courtesy of my trusty
Australian Concise Oxford Dictionary 7th Ed.
The loose translation in context is "stuff and nonsense", but don't forget the contemptuous sound of "pish" accompanying! (BIG grin)
