Yes, I heard it on my sons Wiggles show.
"Barbie on the beach", short for "bar-b-q on the beach"

I used to date a girl with bleach blond hair, huge hooters, lots of fake friends and three cell phones. I'd call her "Barbie" whenever she did something stupid...which was often. She'd get pissed and defend her missing IQ points. I'd laugh. The relationship was pretty short. :D

According to Dug, it is true.

Yes. What the hell do you Americans call it?
This thread has proven that Australians can neither speak nor even read the English language.
