Aussies find that phrase hilarious.
Here 'ring' is slang for 'rectum'
---as are 'date' and 'quoit'.
Usually we just say 'bum' or 'arse' (an ass is a four legged animal,like a donkey)
Welcome your Holey Popery.
Thanks mate! Exactly the same usage applies in the UK, except for 'date' and 'quoit' which we only use literally - but I'll now add them to my repertoire.

Do you Aussies use 'chocolate starfish' or 'rusty sherrif's badge'?
Only sheep need a shepherd.
