When you do, you will inadvertently become the pork chop. If you told the misses that you were behaving like a pork chop then the statement would be both entertaining and factual.The innovative adaptation of the English language by you Aussies is very impressive. I'm going to tell the wife she's acting like a pork chop, to see her reaction.
Ever heard of the saying ‘as popular as a pork chop in a synagogue’ or similar. Well if you’re being a prat you are behaving like that pork chop.
That’s my interpretation anyways.

Nah - completely wrong - always has had two separate meanings.This is what Urban Dictionary says about acting like a pork chop
Urban Dictionary: Pork Chop
This is a colloquial phrase in Australia to "carry on like a pork chop", maning that someone is behaving in a silly or stupid way. This expression is a truncated version of the longer and more widespread phrase be like a pork chop in a synagogue; this has been around since the 1950s. Since pork...www.urbandictionary.com
"Carrying on like a pork chop" is when someone prattles on incessantly about something that no one else is really interested in - ie Barnaby Joyce every time he opens his mouth.
"As popular as a pork chop in a synagogue" meaning they are behaving completely inappropriately for the situation.

Nah - two completely separate intentions linked only by common porkyness.
Most times no real offense is being conveyed when you told someone to stop "carrying on like a pork chop". It's more like "mate we got your point a half an hour ago, so can we move on now!!!"
"popular as a pork chop in a synagogue" is and always was about responding to someone who was about to do something stupid and offensive!!!
I wouldn't think so.
Most Aussies wouldn't have known what a Synagogue was when the original expression was first used.
Though this suggests they do.

How hilarious/pathetic are the new AFL Live ratings hahaha.
highlight for me is Marshall being rated (65) below Mayo, Langlands, JOYCE (plus the rest of the team - he’s third last)

How does Alabakis rate higher than him? Hilarious.
The whole saying is 'Was carrying on like a pork chop at a Jewish wedding'.The innovative adaptation of the English language by you Aussies is very impressive. I'm going to tell the wife she's acting like a pork chop, to see her reaction.

Not sure where it comes from.
Also another good one not heard much anymore.
When someone asked you how things were and you were busy, you would say. 'I'm flat out like a Lizard drinking'.
Most Aussies would know what that means.

Barry McKenzie:
Now listen mate, I need to splash the boots. You know, strain the potatoes. Water the horses. You know, go where the big knobs hang out. Shake hands with the wife's best friend? Drain the dragon? Siphon the python? Ring the rattlesnake? You know, unbutton the mutton? Like, point Percy at the porcelain?
Blanche:
I think he wants to go to the loo.

Tiger King OMG WTF
I just finished the first episode and it’s definitely strange, it hasn’t grabbed me yet. Does it take a few episodes, or at this point is it just not for me?
