I'm pretty certain that "stuff it" doesn't mean remotely the same thing as "get stuffed", but what do I know?
Personally, I'd be more likely to say "soddit" than the former anyway.
I'm not sure if it's an Englishism, but, although I've never come across "waiting on line" before this thread, I've certainly used "I'm waiting on a phone call/Joe Bloggs" to mean I'm waiting for the event/person. If I'm waiting until the pubs open, then I'm waiting while they open. But I'm from Yorkshire and we're contrary buggers in that county.
Bill Norrie has some rather spiffy rhymes in it. Particular favourites are rhyming 'silver grey' with 'young Billy'; 'womb' with 'stone'; 'virginity' with 'young Billy' and, possibly most spectacularly of all, 'door' with 'in'.
It all hangs together wonderfully well though.
The version of Tamlyn that rhymes 'lion or a snake' with 'father of your child' seems to have conflated two versions. The version I sing rhymes 'snake' with 'one of God's own make' and 'lion roaring wild' with 'father of her/your child'.
