Guest012 Posted March 15, 2012 #128 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Everyone of my generation from Queensland still calls a street directory a "refadex". Just like biro for ball point pen. The words were in such common usage, they became the slang name. Hey Marion hope you're well.....John should be doing a show down your way late this year - early next will let you know....if you're interest will swing a couple of freebies your way....:D:D:D Speaking of John he calls the gps in the car his refadex took me ages to work out he meant the TomTom..... cheers Shiona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The explanation was not for the term "Hooroo". Not everything needs a link or needs to be copied & pasted. This is a fun thread & can be in our own words.

Sandielle Posted March 15, 2012 #145 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Nawwwww Kerry dag is such a term of endearment where i come from .. I've always heard of it as such, too. Here's a copy and paste from me: :D "But in Australia, it can be a term of endearment. It depends on the context, and your tone of voice. If someone dresses like a loser, you could call him a dag. BUT - if someone says something funny, you can turn around and laugh and say 'you're a dag' - but in that context you mean 'you're a card', a character, a wag, etc." I much prefer it as a nice saying. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjm66 Posted March 15, 2012 #149 Share Posted March 15, 2012 As a group of young women at college together, we would chorus whenever something went wrong "Too late she cried and waved her wooden leg". The irony is that one of us went on to marry a man with an artificial leg. The phrase fell into disuse when we met in later life. Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
