cheers big ears

Used in Australia as an acknowledgement of one's mates before having a large swig of an ice cold beer. Not any other drink, not any other temperature. Beer only. Ice cold.

As well as other responses such as "up your nose with a rubber hose" the one true response if a nod and a wink whilst saying "Fuck off Noddy!".

Bloke 1: My shout
Bloke 2: Schooner of New
Bloke 3: Pint of SuperDry
1: No worries, back in a sec

1: Here you go (whilst handing around beers)
1: Cheers Big Ears
2&3: Fuck off Noddy!

Drink a decent mouthful.

cheers big ears

An Australianism associated with drinking: When you're about to take a drink, you say "cheers big ears". There are two usual responses: "same goes big nose," or "up your nose with a rubber hose."

(At the pub after raising your glass)

You - "Cheers big ears"

Me - "same goes big nose"

(Followed by a wink and a big long quenching gulp of your drink)
