4/80 air conditioning
If your car does not have air conditioning it is said to have "4/80 air conditioning"... 4 windows down, 80 kilometres per hour.
My Renault 12 has 4/80 air conditioning, Armstrong power windows and manual ABS (ie pump the shit out of the brake pedal)

fuck-off
This is distinct from the imperative "Fuck off!" You try to say it as one word with the emphasis on the "fuck". This word has a couple of uses in Australia:
1. To qualify an adjective, if something is REALLY big or REALLY brightly coloured, for example, then you slide "fuck-off" in somewhere. This is also used in the UK and is seen in the movie Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels: "Also, I think knives are a good idea. Big, fuck-off shiny ones."
2. Another term for insect repellent.

1. My sister's new car is bright fuck-off yellow.
2. These fucking flies are shitting me. Anyone got some fuck-off?

arvo
One of the many words that Australians have cut syllables off and replaced with "-o". This one represents the hours after 12pm, and is used by people, myself included, who can't be bothered saying "-fternoon".
Hey Davo, I'm goin' to the servo for arvo smoko.
Translation: David, I'm going to the service station to purchase some food for the afternoon break.

Muralitharan
Muttiah Muralitharan is a Sri Lankan off-spinner who has always thrown, still throws and will continue to throw every ball he bowls (or, well... throws)
Muralitharan (or Murali as he is known) is an extremely likeable person who has done much to increase the popularity of the game and is also heavily involved in humanitarian work, as seen in the aftermath of the 2004 Asian tsunami disaster.
But for all this Murali is a still a chucker. Several myths now circulate about how he has been proven not to throw the ball, and unfortunately more people buy these as time goes on.
"Muralitharan has a defect which means he cannot straighten his arm". If this were true then it should have been a case of bad luck, but if you can't bowl according to the rules then you can't play international cricket. Too bad it's not true. On the rare occasions that he bowls a leg spinner you will notice that his arm is PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. He has been tested with a brace to keep the arm straight and it was reported that he turns the ball just as far. So then why doesn't just keep it straight and avoid the controversy? Or bowl leg spin, which he is more than competent at?
"Murali's action has been cleared by a panel of experts and the ICC." Not really. The results showed that his arm flexes by 5 degrees when bowling the offspinner and 14 degrees when bowling the doosra. The spineless ICC, rather than deal with a controversy (Zimbabwe, anyone?), just changed the rules so everyone could straighten their arm by 10 degrees. And what's to stop you bowling differently in the lab? Every cricketer knows their action changes with an "effort" ball out on the field.
"Murali has such flexible shoulders and wrists that, at real time, it gives the optical illusion of straightening the arm". Look at a still photo of Murali at the point of delivery. 'Nuff said.
The saga has been carrying on for so long now that it has worn most down to the point of "Oh for God's sake just let him chuck." It's probably too late to have his name expunged from the record books, but Murali will eventually grab as many Bangladeshi and Zimbabwean wickets on tailor-made decks as he feels he needs to, then finally carry through on one of his constant threats to retire. Hopefully then he can continue his great work off the field, and leave more of a legacy than a generation of Sri Lankan kids who are all running around with bent arms at the moment.
And the cricket world will breathe a sigh of relief, until the next crisis...

The Muralitharan Song
(To the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Throw, throw, throw your ball
Gently down the pitch
Murali, Murali, Murali, Murali
Isn't life a bitch?
Throw, throw, throw your ball
Gently through the air
Murali, Murali, Murali, Murali
Here comes Darrell Hair!
NO BALL!

suffer in your jocks
An Australian expression wishing misfortune on the recipient, similar to "eat shit and die". "Jocks" is a general Australian term for underwear, so you are more or less wishing the person an acute attack of explosive diarrhoea.
As heard in the popular Aussie film "The Castle".

fuck me rigid
Another Australian expression of frustration, disbelief or amazement. Less popular cousin to fuck me dead.

holy snapping duck shit!
Yet another Australian expression of surprise, disbelief ar anguish. There is quite a collection of these (see tags below).
Usually said with each word pronounced very separately and deliberately, but is quite often uncontrolled. The first thing I said when I turned on the TV and saw the World Trade Centre collapse was:
