"As game as Ned Kelly" = liều lĩnh như Ned Kelly -> nghĩa là rất dũng cảm, gan dạ. Ned Kelly (1855-1880) là tên cướp khét tiếng ở Úc vào thể kỉ 19.
Ví dụ
“She’s a tough little filly (cô gái trẻ nhanh nhảu) … she’s as game as Ned Kelly and gives her all,” Cleary said. “All the characteristics in the stable tell us she is ready, so fingers crossed we get a big, fat cheque on Saturday.”
Mr Steele said brother Reginald was a strong-willed (ý chí mãnh liệt) man who would not back down, and before the war he had fought hard for fair pay for miners at Broken Hill. "He was as game as Ned Kelly," Mr Steele said.
Fowler was as game as Ned Kelly, but when he tried to get back into the flat he was stopped by three guards. He came back a couple of days later with 50 builders’ labourers, seamen (thủy thủ) and other maritime unionists and took repossession. This time it was the security guards who were turned onto the street.
