===Usage notes===
* Common in Australian English; similar in sense to North American expression ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/play_with_a_full_deck play with a full deck]'' (usually in the negative) and the British ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/few_sandwiches_short_of_a_picnic a few sandwiches short of a picnic]''.
