"How much can a koala bear" is a facetious Australian saying, not often used anymore, that reflects complete disillusionment. When faced with difficult circumstances, some Australians have been known to utter this phrase.
It is not known how or why the saying developed, but it partially arose out of the frustration associated with the fact that koalas are not bears yet overseas visitors insist on calling them "koala bears". In this phrase, the word "bear" is used as a verb, not a noun, but it is a play on the erroneous calling of koalas "koala bears".
