Those Aussie's have some rather odd nautical terms.

One time I was sailing around New Zealand and they tried to train me as a crew member.

Here are a few of their other sailing phrases:

bash the bishop
beat the bald-headed bandit
bop the baloney
boxing the clown
burp the worm
buttering the corn
choke the chicken
churning the butter
cleaning the rifle
clubbing eddy
colonel sanders heimleich maneuver
comforting Gary Coleman
conking the cardinal
corralling the tadpoles
cranking the corona
date Palmala Handerson
dating Rosie Palm and her five sisters
decongesting the weasel
discipline your soldier
dishonorable discharge
docking in shuttle bay 5
doing battle with the purple helmeted warrior of love
doing the human version of autoexec.bat
drain the vein
drilling for oil in your own backyard
faxing Jimmy Dean
fishing for trouser trout
freeing Willy
giving Yul Brenner the high-five
greasing the flagpole
pat the Robertson
polish the Oscar
rise and fall of Peter the Great
rolling the fleshy blunt
romancing the bone
Romeo and himself
roughing up the suspect
rowing the boat
running Peter through two-a-days
saluting the commander
schnauzer shuffleboard
setting off a depth charge
shaking hands with Abraham Lincoln
slapping the salami
smacking the oompa loompa
take Captain Picard to warp speed
tickling Uncle Frank
turning japanese
walking the parakeet
whittling Dixie
winding the Wurlitzer

It's no wonder they call those dudes seamen.
