I've heard that "driving the porcelain bus" is Australian.  Anyone know if
this is true?

I never heard "driving/riding the porcelain bus" ascribed particularly
to australia.

One of my friends who recently graduated was proud of his rather
extensive vocabulary of what he termed "banfing" stories and synonyms.
One of his favorites was "talking to the Dean." 

I should probably spare most of the net the rest of the list, but I'm sure
I can come up with quite a few fun descriptive and disgusting phrases.
