    This is only an answer to part of your question. Maybe someone else can add to it.
    ===
    According to
    http://www.koalanet.com.au/australian-slang.html#C
    and
    http://nicholnl.wcp.muohio.edu/DingosBreakfastClub/Australia/UpfieldMysteries2.html
    it's not "crack the fat," it's "crack a fat." It's also shown as "crack a fat (one)."

    "Crack a fat" = get an erection
    ===
    Neither source shows "slag." Are you sure it's not one of these?

    "Snag" = sausage
    and
    "Slab" = a carton of 24 cans or bottles of beer.
    and
    "Swag" = rolled-up bedding carried by a "swagman" (tramp, hobo).
