I have some favourite 'catchphrases' I like to use. They come from my Australian upbringing.

Today, while listening to the Melbourne 3RRR Radio program Film Buff's Forecast, I discovered where a couple of these come from:

ROY RENE

As Mo McCackie, Rene used a number of idiomatic catchphrases including:

    * "Strike me lucky!"
    * "Don't come the raw prawn"
    * "Cop this, young Harry!" (before striking Harry)
    * "You beaut!"
    * "You little trimmer!"
    * "I'm a wake up"
    * "One of my mob"
    * "Fair suck of the Sav"
    * "I don't know whether to kiss him or kick him"
    * "You filthy beast!"

Those in bold are my faves. *grin*

I had a good laugh at this skit he did with Nat Phillips as Stiffy and Mo...

They once had a comedy 'skit' where Mo would act with another person and would write the letter 'F' on a blackboard (on stage) and then ask his co-actor: 'What letter do you see' to which he would reply: 'K'. Mo would then say: 'Why is it that whenever I write F you see K?'
