vagenda
The catalogue of expectations a woman has of a man.
Bob would have liked to have watched the football game on Thanksgiving Day but that was not on Chrissy's vagenda.

vacuucoffophobia
Occurs while vacuuming. Fear of tripping over the cord and hitting your head on the corner of the coffee table.
Sharon claimed her severe case of vacuucoffophobia accounted for her house looking like a pigsty.

link farm
A person who can consistently produce, almost instantaneously, a URL related to any current topic of discussion; used especially during chat to make aware to the link farm himself, that perhaps he spends way too much time on the internet.
And: Did you ever see the Goonies?
Nad: Ooh yeah, look... www.slothloveschunk.com
And: uh... thanks, link farm

vache
Sitting around doing nothing much in particular, kinda like chewing your cud.
What are you doing tonight? Eh, I'm going home to vache.

I see you are a true Slovophile. These examples remind me a bit of the American Far Side Cartoons, by Garry Larson if my memory serves me correctly? But have you, I wonder, mined the rich seams of Strine (Australian English)? Here are a few examples and a little quiz for you:

* daggy -- like the shit that sticks to a sheep's woolly backside, i.e. rather nasty, as in Sheila looked a bit of a dag, all dressed up in drag
* dobber -- someone who reports you to the authorities, stukach, as in Igor dobbed me in to the KGB
* furphy -- false rumour, as in don't believe that furphy about the first man in space really being called Yulia Gagarina
* fruit loop -- a fool, as in vache is a cow, you fruit loop
* flat out like a lizard drinking -- very busy, as in I can't read Zh Zh right now, I'm flat out like a lizard drinking
* flash as a rat with a gold tooth -- very gaudy and vulgar, I'm sure you can think up lots of examples of your own!
* a kangaroo loose in the top paddock -- intellectually inadequate, as in poor Mary's got a kangaroo loose in the top paddock
And now the geography quiz: Which of these is not a real place?
a) Woop Woop
b) Wagga Wagga
c) Woy Woy
(You many need to refer to Google Earth)
Crikey mate! Well, I'll see you when I'm looking at you, then!

a-ha-ha-ha. i know the answer! Woop Woop means 'middle of nowhere', i checked it in the dictionary!
of all the australian words you posted i knew only one: 'daggy'. i learnt it from a new zealander here: http://vriad-lee.livejournal.com/435808.html . also, i have two australians on my friends list, but i don't remember them using any of those special words.
i liked 'a kangaroo loose in the top paddock', it's pretty cool!~
also, i'm not sure what it means: "Well, I'll see you when I'm looking at you, then!"

Oh, what a wonderful daggy dog!
Yes, I like the loose kangaroo too. Perhaps these expressions are more often used in the Outback than Sydney. That's where I heard them, anyway.
My Aboriginal friend Billy used to say, "see you when I'm looking at you", which was a nice way of saying poka but making no specific plans.
So you are a translator. That explains a lot :)
Poka.

[vriad-lee.livejournal.com]

oh yes. but i'm a tech translator, that doesn't count!
see you when I'm looking at you! (what a weird way to say 'poka'! :)

[nelen.livejournal.com]

Everything counts :)
