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

Get the fuck me rigid mug.Used to describe an erection so hard that, if given the chance, a dingo (Australia's native wild dog) would not be able to damage it.
Given the silliness of the statement, it's usually used to describe a non-sexual situation that a man would nonetheless enjoy very much, such as a sporting event.

When the Cats won the 2007 AFL Grand Final, for the next week I had a boner so hard a dingo couldn't have bitten through it. (boner, I've got a ... a dingo couldn't bite through - gotta use the original here)

Get the fuck you and I hope your dog dies mug.What you call any restaurant or fast food chain that you're not particularly fond of. Translates to "Eat 'n' Vomit" in Aussie slang, and a play on the "X 'n' Y" convention of naming eateries where X relates to eating, and Y is usually 'Go'.

Get the Chew 'n' Spew mug.Used in Australia to describe a really easy sporting opportunity which has then been completely fucked up.
In cricket this is usually a dropped catch. The same applies to a dropping a mark in Australian Rules football, and it can also be a goal that is missed from very close range.
Also known as a sitter, gimme or dolly.

Give yourself an uppercut mate, you just missed a soda.
Last Saturday I dropped a fucking soda in slips and we lost by 1 wicket.

Given the silliness of the expression, it's usually used to describe extreme enjoyment of an activity not related to sex, such as a sporting triumph.
