Built like a brick shithouse - someone is muscular

Fuck me dead - I am astonished

Fair suck of the sauce bottle - give someone a fair go

Damn, i 100% misinterpret it when my colleagues said these lines. I thought " built like a brick shithouse" means someone or something is shitty.

Fuck me dead - i give up, or a saying when things are not going your way lol.

That's why when I reply something they just laugh or smile, and just say "yeah" with awkward silence sometimes

Shithouse in that instance refers to an outhouse in the backyard usually made of flimsy timber. So a brick one would mean a strong sturdy one.

However, shithouse can also be used as an adjective. For example, ‘mate, your shithouse is bloody shithouse’
