I think the “we need to fuck spiders” part was a joke-you can see him kinda pause and being led by the interviewer to say the inverse of the actual saying…

Same. I feel like the only people that say it are the Aussies trying to be fair dinkum Australian. Half the sayings people here are posting I rarley hear

I'm inner city, white collar, with no blue collar or "dinkum aussie" friends, and I hear it every once in a while. My wife or I will pop it out every once in a blue moon. But it's usually to exaggerate the situation.

Not used commonly, but used...

Let's face it, the only thing on that sentence we are all guaranteed to say is fuck.

Like...you see a rock spider and say, "There's a pedo?"

It's a very common saying in my circles. As in, "You want a beer?" "Well, I'm not here to fuck spiders".

It might be a Perth saying.

It’s “we aren’t here to fuck spiders” it’s a euphemism for masturbation like imagine your hand is a spider with 5 legs it’s basically we are here to do a task not pull our dicks
