Fair Dinkum Aussie Dingo

A return response to an Aussie mate (male) usually over a few beers who says something so outrageous that “fair dinkum” just doesn’t cut it.

Mate at pub: Went fishing, fell in the water, got attached by a shark, managed to get out of the water fairly unscathed and scored a root on the walk back to the Ute.

Response: Fair dinkum Aussie dingo!

Fair dinkum

Usually a term used to confirm the truth of a statement.
The origins of this term are disputed but a plausible one is that it came from the Victorian Goldfields where Chinese workers used the term Ding kum so confirm a deal that is honest and true.

fair dinkum

To mean that something is truthful. Fair share of work, truth, or honesty. Not kidding. Not 'taking the shit', as it were.

Fair dinkum, would I lie to you?
