Barbie=barbecue right?

[brimble → donthellbanme]

Yeah, that's not obscure in American English, because it's one of a handful of Australian words that've made it into phrases we'll say when we're trying to mimic Australian English, i.e. "throw another shrimp on the barbie".

[ggm → brimble]

Except we don't say shrimp: that was translated when Paul Hogan did the advert.
