Looking back at a previous thread about Aussies swearing overseas...
had anyone ever used or heard the phrase 'shit-storm' in popular circulation before a couple of weeks ago? I hadn't, even working as a wharfie. It is also possibly the least eloquent phrase I have ever heard used.

Sat, April 4, 2009 - 11:32 PMI have heard "the shit is going to hit the fan" and "that's a crock of shit" or "what a shit load of crap" but I have never heard "shit storm" before.
I like the west coast of USA saying "hella" as in "wow, that is hella cool" or " there was hella people at the concert last night". Have you heard that term in Australia? At least since my visit? -

Tue, April 7, 2009 - 3:52 PMhella.. no, not heard here. Think I heard it on TV a few times though.
When I was a kid, we used the word 'bulk' like that - thank god that didn't catch on internationally.
'Check out Magnum PI last night? It was bulk cool.'

Tue, April 7, 2009 - 5:56 PMHella sort of rolls of the tongue. Bulk gives a much more forceful expression.
Hella must be a Californian expression if heard on TV by you. -
