I'm bringing back "tinny" for "tin arse". (Now that's old school.)

Say it around the kids all the time and now they've started using it.

Bonza cobber.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinnie
Short for tin-arse (now archaic), "tinny" is also used in Australia to mean "lucky", as in "he's a tinny bastard". The term "tin-arse" and sometimes "tin-bum" are in common use in New Zealand.

Now you're speaking like an Aussie. "Don't trust them Asians but their sheilas are a great root mate".

Its the bogan way. If its a boat full of Afghan men, turn em back but if its boat full of hot Asian women then build more detention centres.:lol: Hypocrisy at its best.

Pity, it's a great word.

I actually use the term 'Root' a lot. :lol:

One of the girls at work was talking about a bloke she had gone home with one night, but apparently she didn't "root" him. So from then on in her nickname at work has been "Root".

Not dying out, just evolving from generation to generation. We'd have to be the only country in the world where calling someone a 'sick c##t' is a compliment.

i actually feel as though its making a comeback.
but only in one demographic: young male. blokes my age seem to get a kick out of it. i dont know why really but i dont see it from anyone else in every day language, really. might be different elsewhere but it seems to me that this is the way its been for a while now.

There's still a lot of slang being created it just seems to stay within groups rather than spread. i kind of change language depending on who I'm talking to.
