MERV’s EXAMPLE OF “B” SLANG WORDS IN USE:

  A BACKDOOR BANDIT tried making a move on me in a pub out the BACK O' BOURKE, so I told him I had a BALL & CHAIN back home, but he didn't give up, so it became a real BALLS UP when I called him a Poofter BANANA BENDER, he said "don't you call me a Banana Bender, just because your mum BANGS LIKE A DUNNY DOOR at the Christmas BARBIE!", so I punched him in the guts so hard he had a BARK AT THE LAWN, it was a BARNEY over nothing, but I did have a few BARRACK for me, that poor BASTARD finally got the message I wasn't interested.

   Later in the evening I went to a sheep station BASH, it was BEAUT, it was a real BEAUTY until a shearer had a BEEF with Joe about who had BEEN AROUND more, so I stuck my BEER GUT between them and it was only a BEE'S DICK away from being a major fight. Everybody  thought I was the BEE'S KNEES when I did a BELLY WHACKER into the large pool of beer. We had to BEND THE ELBOW some more as it was the payday BENDER when all the shearers go BERKO, they're a real BEWDY.

  Things were going great guns until Bible Bill the BIBLE BASHER started on the old BIDDY cook who doesn't get paid the same BIG BIKKIES as the cooks in the BIG SMOKE, but Bill got the BILLYO out of there before he ended up in the BIN preaching to the ones who only can dream of a big BINGE. 

  We got a call from Tom, he was involved in a BINGLE with a road train. Bruce said that's because he can't drive, I said BITE YOUR BUM Bruce. The BITIES started biting some of the shearers like a BITSER from beyond the BLACK STUMP, I didn't notice as I becoming quite BLIND. A BLOKE we didn't know started a fight and it became a real BLOODHOUSE, Jim yelled out "give us a BLOODY hand Big Merv!", I said BLOODY OATH Jim, I'm in. But the cops turned up and wanted us to BLOW IN THE BAG, I said "you can't do that if we aren't driving, you guys are like a big BLOWIE on a fresh turd ya pack of BLOW INS!". The cops said it was just a quick BLOW THROUGH, a break from the usual BLUDGE, I said "you're just a big BLUDGER!", and then another BLUE started.

  That's how I ended up in the BLUESTONE COLLEGE in my BLUEY and a Hard Yakka shorts, as quick as I could say BOB'S YOUR UNCLE. But I got my 2 BOB'S WORTH with my cell mate, Pete, a BODGIE now BOGAN who would BOIL THE BILLY on the hour with the special tea the old BOILER would bring in which tasted like BONG water. I said you got to be BONKERS drinking that mate, Pete said "it's BONZER ripper gear Merv.", so I tried some, what a BOO BOO I made, I picked the wrong horse and Bob the prison BOOKIE said "that was a BOOMER bet Merv, I hope ya right for it when ya get out, and don't pay me with a BOOMERANG, that's illegal mate." I said we're even mate after I shouted all the drinks one night when we were on the outside. But Bob hit me and we went at each other BOOTS & ALL, and then said "I owe you nothing Merv, I got picked up by the BOOZE BUS after that BOOZER because you insisted I have that BOOZE UP with you!" I said "Bob, don't  BORE THE PANTS OFF me with ya story, your not a BOSS COCKY now!'. Bob fired up and said "that's it Merv, don't come to me from now on to BOT smokes, you had a BOTTLER there for a while mate!"

  A few weeks later the BOYS IN BLUE picked me up from Pentridge Prison and returned my Triumph Bonnieville to me, I felt like a BRADMAN again, so I put on my old war BRAIN BUCKET to warm my head in the BRASS MONKEY weather. I didn't get far as I didn't have a BRASS RAZOO when I got out. So I took a BREATHER for a few day's at Marks place. I drank so much I got BREWER'S DROOP and couldn't do anything with Shirley. She said don't worry Merv, it happens to all the blokes. I said "stop being a BROWN NOSE or I will call ya Shirley The BROWN NOSER, and how do you know it happens to all blokes". I was wilder than a BRUMBY with BUCKLEY'S chance of getting some BUFFIN' THE MUFFIN, if I only didn't BUGGER ABOUT, I wouldn't be sitting here getting BUGGER ALL. I told Shirley to BUGGER OFF cos I was BUGGERED now, and BUGGERED IF I KNOW why I said that to BUGGERLUGS. Shirley then yells, " just because you're BUILT LIKE A BRICK SHITHOUSE Merv, doesn't mean you can talk BULL to me, you only talk BULLDUST Merv!" "That's BULLSHIT Shirley, I'm not a BULL SHIT ARTIST, I say BULLY FOR YOU Miss Perfect who thinks she's better than me, but your just a BUM". What a BUMMER that was, but 2 days later everything was working good and proper, and within a few months there was a BUN IN THE OVEN, and my life was BUNG after I tried to BUNG IT ON Shirley.

  Six moths later after Shirley's morning BURLS, we were BURLING ALONG in the 1972 XY GT Ford Falcon at 120 miles per hour to the BUSH hospital. Rumours were going down the BUSH TELEGRAPH that the kid wasn't mine, and I was completely BUSHED by all the shit by now. The BUSHWHACKER doctor meet us at the pub car park to deliver a baby that looked more like the milk truck driver than me, all to the sound of the BUSHMAN'S CLOCK. The doc was as BUSY AS A ONE ARMED MAN while I was as BUSY AS A ONE LEGGED
MAN AT AN ASS KICKING COMPETITION from then on!
