My favourite maybe isn't a saying as such still it is telling
Window – from Scandinavian languages Vind (Wind) Öga (Eye)

Another favourite:
Eavsdrop – from Scandinavian languages Öfsadröpp, meaning the raindropps falling off from the part of the roof that is sticking out from the wall. Stand below that roof and you may hear what happens inside.

Talking about chicken, eggs, and colorful sayings as Jay put it reminds me of this dialogue:

Two chicken were having a talk around a barn corner and bragging about their eggs. The first said my eggs are sold at 45 cents a piece, the other laughed and said mine are bigger and are priced at 50 cents. The First sneered and barked that she wont be tearing her ass off for 5 cents.

Usually tearing the ass off means doing something very difficult.

Think my pig whistles = Its unbelieveable

Point percy at the porcelain — Urinate (male)

He’s got tickets on himself — A person who thinks he is the greatest

G'day — Universal greeting, used anytime day or night, but never as a farewell. Usually followed by “mate”  or a typically strung-together “howyagoinallright” = how are you today, feeling pretty good?

Fair Dinkum— Kosher, the real thing – as in “Fair Dinkum Aussie” (true blue Aussie original). Often used by itself as a rhetorical question to express astonishment verging on disbelief … “Fair Dinkum, mate?” = you've got to be kidding, haven't you?

Drink with the flies – having a drink alone
