"Pulling my leg" is not just an English phrase. I live in New York and we use it here.

I was trying to steal your VHS copy of Porky's. An offence that is punishable by death in any civilized country I might add.

@TheSeductiveMoose: Correct!!
 
PHRASE 2!
 
If i were to tell you that:
You're a right tight arsed git. 
And that you should
Get the next round in.
 
What would i be accusing you of, what would I be asking you to do and finally where would we most probably be?

British is too broad! You need to go deeper, get regional! I'm in the Midlands, and it's amazing how much the dialect can change in the space of 10 miles. Call me a Brummie, and I'm likely to stab you with my Blue WKD bottle.

@Zabant: I'm getting in a little late, but I have to say as a frequent viewer of BBC 1 and 2 shows, I looooove British slang.
"I just escaped a bumming from Grizzly Adams!" is one of favorite lines of The Mighty Boosh.

Are these lifted out of a 1960s sitcom?
 
More up to date.  Context:  Things overheard in a crowded nightclub - "Do you take it up the Gary, love?", "She really has a wide-on for that guy at the bar" and "Check out the juggs on that fat old slapper in the corner, I would totally smash her back doors in!".

This thread needs some Cockney Rhyming Slang. Can anyone figure out what this means: 
 
Got to my mickey, found me way up the apples, put on me whistle and the bloody dog rang. It was me trouble telling me to fetch the teapots.

@Zabant: *grin* Nah, s'okay. I'll leave it for others to take a punt on the Brit slang - I'm immersed myself too much in the culture over the years.
 
As for Aussie slang, my immediate thought is the phrase "don't come the raw prawn with me."

Didn't it start out as cockney for Gary Glitter?  Use a lot up north - before he was locked up for being a nonse anyway.  Became a bit unpalatable after that.

I don't mean it in a racist sense, I just mean, those words aren't used all across England, they are used by black youths in London and emulated by cool kids after people saw them on Kidulthood.

But I only live 20 minutes from the Black Country... I guess that shows how even at such short distances dialect can change.
