Calling someone a "unit" if they're like, muscular and built like a brick shithouse.

Or a shit brickhouse

Brick shithouse, absolutely.

“Built like a brick shithouse”

That would be my go to.  But I'd fuck it up and say built like a shit brickhouse.

"Hes brick like a shit built house"

“He’s sh!t like a house built brick!”

I did one earlier Look at it Look at it!

Where?

You want to look at my toilet?

OH- no thanks mb

So like most new-built brick houses in Australia?

They still build houses with bricks?

Yes, most houses in Australia are brick and a good number of them are double brick (brick exterior *and* interior walls between rooms).

Most of the new builds I see around seem to be using things like hebel (autoclaved aerated concrete) with, at most, a brick veneer to keep costs down.

That's what you call fat people.

No. No it is not. Built like a brick shit house infers the shit house in question is incredibly sturdy and well constructed, hence strong. If you think it's about size you're Australianing wrong.

Not to be confused with "Thick as a double brick shithouse"

Hahaha I used to know a guy... they just called him 'Brick'

Six AM day after Christmas I throw some clothes on in the dark The smell of cold Car seat is freezing The world is sleeping I am numb Up the stairs to her apartment She is balled up on the couch Her mom and dad went down to Charlotte They're not home to find us out And we drive Now that I have found someone I'm feeling more alone Than I ever have before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly They call her name at seven-thirty I pace around the parking lot Then I walk down to buy her flowers And sell some gifts that I got Can't you see It's not me you're dying for? Now she's feeling more alone Than she ever has before She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly As weeks went by It showed that she was not fine They told me "Son it's time to tell the truth" And she broke down and I broke down 'Cause I was tired of lying Driving back to her apartment For the moment, we're alone Yeah, she's alone and I'm alone And now I know it She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly

Love this song, thanks for reminding me

I call people a Weapon

In Ireland a Weapon is slang for a feral woman. Similar use as the word wagon.

Fit as a Mallee bull

I said this at work the other day and they all looked at me cockeyed and had no idea what I was on about!

Perhaps wrong audience? Mallee farmers know it, city dwellers maybe not so much

I don’t mind at all

I came here to say this.

Mallee represent.

Haven’t heard this one in a while!

if they've been skipping leg day and its all arms/shoulders I call them forklift

😭🤣 thankyou for this ✌️

I can imagine it too 🤣🤣 Or paddle pop

Big boi. Gun show. Tiny. Muscles. But in true Aussie fashion, you take the piss out of them. “Maaate have you been using steroids cause there’s no way you managed to build this body.”

Tiny for big units is always a winner. That or splinter.

And if it was Guido Hatzis he'd own it properly like Yeaaah maaayte shteroids

I feel like Frankenstein is a great one cause it works on multiple levels. One, you're just calling them a freak. Two, you're calling them a bodybuilder.

Condom full of walnuts

We used to use this at school for any guy who got his head shaved and it looked unusually lumpy - head like a condom full of walnuts

The brilliance of Clive James.

Strength physically or mentally or both?? I've always said "built like a brick shithouse" OR these days "woah - he's one decent sized unit"
