Rhyming Slang
 

Not sure if this is big in NZ, but over here, especially with the boys, rhyming slang rears it's head whenever possible. Here's a few of my favourites...

Pig's ear/Britney Spears: Beer/Beers - "Pass me a coupla Britney Spears will ya?"

Harold Holt: Leave - "Where's Latch?" "Oh, he's done the Harold Holt"

Jimmy Riddle: Piss - "Shit I'm bustin for a Jimmy Riddle"

Bobby Lim: Swim - "Who's up for a Bobby Lim?"

My all time favourite...

Jayden Leski: Eski, also known as a 'Moe Toddler' - "Shit I hope someone remembered to bring a Moe Toddler" or "There's shitloads of pig's ears in the Jayden Leski mate"

Please add more!

the only one i know is frog and toad which means road. I'm not as aussie as I thought i was :(

Some of your translations don't rhyme, as rhyming slang should.

Harold Holt should translate to Bolt (as in to do the bolt)

And Jimmy Riddle is Piddle, not piss.

Some others are:

Dogs eye = Pie
Dead Horse = sauce
(so you can order a dogs eye with dead horse)

Joe Blake = snake

Butchers hook = look (get a butchers at the tits on her!)

Skyrocket = pocket

Will add more when/if I think of them

rock and boulder = shoulder
loaf of bread = head

@Neptune: I was actually giving you people some credit by not spelling it right out for you...

Horses hoof = Gay bloke
Noah / noah's ark = a shark
Seppo / Septic tank = an American
Loaf = Head. From loaf of bread
Reg Grundys = Undies
Wally Grout = Shout

This originated in London and is properly known as Cockney Rhyming Slang.

The one I always remember, and quite often use, is Mae West.

IE, "How was the restaurant?"
"Not the Mae West"
