Talking about "so to speak", here in Oz it's "stir the possum". (Possibly because you only have to look sideways at a marsupial possum to get a very agro reaction - at least that's what I've found, when trying to get one out of the chimney, with thick leather gloves and a hessian bag.) Nevertheless, it usually refers to good natured incitement or gleefully mischievous provocation.
