Australians
are well known for using phrases that outsiders may generally not understand.
An example might be - “Fair suck of the sauce bottle” meaning getting a fair
share.
On
a similar vein, a trader has suggested that some things traders say actually
mean something else and there is a common theme in his examples -
“Management
need to advertise this market more”.
TRANSLATION:
Business is bad.
“My
neighbour is creeping over the line and his music is too loud.”
TRANSLATION:
Business is really bad.
“I
think it is time we extended our trading hours.”
TRANSLATION:
Business is really, really bad.
