If the character's name is Alf Stewart, you could say something like "YA Flamin Drongo".
That ought to work

I know a lot of cunning people but they are dim whits. I think it's just that the person is an evil genius to be correct in Aussie English. The writer will have to explain a bit more about the story line. |

And the word bastard can be misinterpret by non Aussies. Another thing i hate is the words (are you winning) when you are working. it would be OK if i was betting some where but it's just really moronic simpleton dribble anywhere other. |

"ya mad ya bastard!" might be the term you're looking for. From the film Wake in Fright, Australian outback film.

I am extremely nice compered to the people i first started out working with. I never heard of the term apart from southerners and younger people in the last 10 years. Up hear in QLD you would say how ya going. or it going. And i fail to see how working can be considered winning unless you are a con artist that just ripped off someone. and you are over joyed at the out come financially. Other words that are used now days like Sick !!!!!!! wicked !!!!! Are used in a stupid idiotic foolish way. I think it's all got to do with people on drugs. i am sick of it. why should we have to put up with nonsence. |

Austen Tayshus is pretty cool. We had a comedian here in the States who did a routine that someone made into a song. It used all kinds of celebrity names.
"Was Glenn Close or was Jamie Farr?" Very similar material, funny stuff. Well, the story is a screenplay I wrote that I am learning how to rewrite as a novel. I had to write this particular scene in novel form as an assignment. In the script the Aussie character's words are written in usual Yank English. It is up to the actor to execute the Aussie accent. Well, in a novel you have to write out the accent and spell words so that the accent gets read, even if it means misspelling words. Well, I realized while writing this scene as a novel that I needed something better than "...genius bastard." As mentioned, that is not a common Yank expression. I came up with it myself for the story. I figured there would be a better Aussie expression for it though, that's why I started this thread. Anyway, I went with "sma't bugga." That's how I wrote the accent for "smart". I have not heard the "r" ennunciated too much by the Aussie characters/people I have seen. I am NOT SAYING that all Aussies say it this way, I am saying the Aussies I have seen in entertainment and interviews have said it that way. You know, like when you see an interview with a Yank who has seen a UFO they always have the southern accent. Thanks to everyone for your helpful suggestions! I was too rushed to be able to wait for everyone's responses. They gave me an education anyway. Steve P.S. The character is retired, so that tells you he is older.
