In Australia we have a saying directed to people who lie to excuse their actions.

"Don't piss on me and tell me it's raining."

Seems unbelievably appropriate here.

Ah righto. It's hard to know sometimes, I've never heard it said but any non-Australians.

There are sayings that I'm sure are just Australianisms but others know, and then others that I think are common place which then completely throw other cultures off.
