but the traffic light was red, so the driver stopped, until I told him that he could drive on and ignore the red light and go to the parking place.

And in Australia it means shitting yourself with laughter
as in Cackin your pants
Or laughing so hard you shit yourself

 

[Bushguide]

Just to make clear at some “blokes” that I understand Australian humour

When I was in Australia in 2011 for almost two months, I hitchhiked quite a lot, just to be able to reach some remote places, and paid quite often the fuel of my driver when allowed to! Or some beer, or sometimes a meal.

Then there were these 4 young engineers who refurbished an old Mitsubishi Pajero and a very old Valiant and drove them from Melbourne to Darwin. They picked me up at Coober Pedy, and dropped me in Darwin, very nice guys.

On day 5, we made a detour to have a break, lunch and some beers at Daly Waters. I sat in the back of the Valiant. We reached the village, arrived at the pub, but the traffic light was red, so the driver stopped, until I told him that he could drive on and ignore the red light and go to the parking place.

The service station opposite the pub now has the airframe of a Jetranger (206B helicopter) perched up on the roof.

And "kacken" is the German (vulgar) word for poop.

Another opportunity for misunderstandings ...

cack oneself in UK is to soil yourself, think I prefer the Oz version

Quite funny as "DAVE" in german is an acronym for DümmsterAnzunehmenderVorEigentümer (dumbest presumptive previous owner).
DAVE is the most common reason, when you have problems with your LR Series I to III or a Defender.

A ziffer is someone like me who likes to call out "orzif" when something ridiculous or unbelievable happens in an action movie

I'm confused as hell and if this is how our non-native English speakers feel all the time, my apologies!

I think I am confused but I am not sure.
I recall being confused recently but I can't remember why
Luckily here in Australia we have a saying to resolve this issue
What the f**ck

The "F" word is the greatest in the English language. It can be a noun (You dumb F), a verb (we were F...), and adjective (You effing idiot), a pronoun (you know, F-face), adverb (he was driving so effing slow), interjection (Holy F!) ...

Amazing word.

The F-word can also be a compliment, if I understand it well
(but I already knew )

In Ireland there are more politely use "feck" instead. They ve got a whole lot of swear words and special terminology.
@Jean Mercier I assume in french even the worst swear word ranted sounds still nice.
