Get the arse sandwichmug. Australian term for briefs, Speedo bathers or any other skimpy men's underwear that makes the wearer's package look like a bag of mixed lollies. Bad news for unfortunate witnesses.
Other useful terms are tighty whities, budgie smugglers (awesome mental picture that) and banana hammock.

Get the lolly bagsmug. Australian slang for a car's transmission, especially a manual (or standard as the Seppos call them).
If I put a 2 litre donk and a 5-speed cog swapper in my Renault 12, it will go like shit off a shovel.

Get the cog swappermug. Somewhat derogatory cricket slang for a medium or slow-medium pace bowler.
Quick as possible explanation for Americans unfamiliar with cricket:
Bowling in cricket is like pitching in baseball, except you run in and bowl overarm with a straight arm. You have to make the ball bounce. The bowler is trying to make the batter hit a catch to a fielder, or knock over the stumps (3 wooden poles) behind the batter. The distance between them is 22 yards.
There are generally 2 types of bowler: fast, pace or quick bowlers who run in as fast as they can and bowl the ball straight. International-level players bowl at 85-95mph. Spin bowlers use the fingers or the wrist to put spin on the ball and make it change direction after it bounces. Usually bowl at 50-55mph.
Then there are the "medium" bowlers, who generally combine the disadvantages of both (not as fast as the pace bowlers, but there is also no spin on the ball). They are essentially slower versions of the pace bowlers - 65-75mph.
Dibbly-dobblers can sometimes be useful if they are accurate, but are usually good for smacking all over the field. They are often used as a gamble which quite often backfires, hence the name.

In the 1992 World Cup, New Zealand used a trio of medium pacers, Rod Latham, Gavin Larsen and Chris Harris who were jokingly referred to as Dibbly Dobbly and Wobbly.

Get the dibbly dobblymug. Rick Disneck is a fictional gymnast featured on a very well-known Australian comedy album from the 1980s.
The album, Wired World of Sports by the Twelfth Man (Billy Birmingham), is a parody of Channel Nine's Wide World of Sports, a Sunday sports wrap-up program that ran for many years. The album satirises the presenters and features footage or interviews with imaginary sports stars, usually with funny names such as "female" bodybuilder Anna Bolic ("Oh my God, Oh my God, a testicle has just popped out of her costume!" "HER costume???!!!"), the Russian weightlifter Popavalium Andropoff (who suffered the fate all weightlifters dread, when his guts came flying out of his arsehole), or the Mexican-Japanese boxer Zalos Karate.
Rick Disneck, or "wrecked his neck" is based on American gymanst Brian Meeker, whose early 80's collision with a pommel horse is one of the most famous sporting accidents of all time (see youtube or a "Top 20 Sporting Blunders" show). The interview, hosted by presenter Darrell Eastlake, takes place with a presumably convalescing Rick. Throughout the interview, Rick barely talks above a slow, wheezy whisper as he discusses his many injuries ("I crushed my larynx and ruptured my spleeeen") and how the accident happened.
Well worth a listen if you can get it, although the Australian Rules football and cricket stuff is probably over most American heads. Later albums continued the trend of names with funny meanings, most notably of Indian, Sri Lankan and Pakistani cricketers.
Ask any Australian male over 25 who Rick Disneck is, and if they don't respond with a wheezy groan followed by "No Darrell, I just fucked up", well, I'll eat my own head.

Mike Gibson: "Rick Disneck is the poor bastard you see slamming in the vaulting horse at a hundred miles an hour"
Darrell Eastlake: "So Rick, did you have a blowout in a sandshoe as many believe, or did you just fuck up?"
Rick Disneck: *eeeeeerrrgh* "No Darrell, I just fucked up."

Get the Rick Disneckmug. (Australian) - what your 50 year old Aunt Freda (you know her, the cheek-pinching, overweight, oversize glasses, prickly upper lip and funny smelling one, every family's got one) would call a car accident.
Prang by itself usually refers to a car park-type ding. A freeway pile-up with 14 fatalities is a "nasty" prang.

Get the prangmug. The tooth fairy's evil sister. She visits people sleeping in the middle of the night and gives them horrible morning breath.
