Hey Saratoga,

What do you think about our colloquialisms here in Oz such as :
"the favourite was done like a dinner,"
"the leader has something up his sleeve"-we are aware of the trouble that racecaller, Michael Rona(Roner?) found himself in after uttering this colourful phrase in the U.S..
There are innumerable others that you may have encountered and are there any which require translation like "barry crocker"....meaning "shocker"....meaning an ill-judged ride.

Cheers.
