Contracted form of "isn't it?", doesn't it, don't they etc. Origin possible UK Euro-Asian, although I heard it during the 1960's in Italian restaurants in South Wales. Prob. adaptation of earlier "it-int, int-it", London usage similar meaning. Pronounced with stress on 1st and 3rd syll. Example of use: "You goin' wi mi sister, init". May thus be used in interrogative form or may be used rhetorically - init! (ed: many thanks to my friend Kevin Allen for making that totally incomprehensible!)
A method of encrypting speech, also known as back slang, which involves taking the first letter of a word and putting on the end, and then adding the syllable 'ay'. thus the word 'radiator' would become 'adiatorray'. similarly 'tube' becomes 'ubetay', or, phonetically spelled 'oobtay'. (ed: I'd like to know more about 'pig latin as I never took normal Latin. All infomation gladly received!)

Usually used as a substitute for "shit", much like "shoot", or "sugar". Based around the reluctance to swear openly but articulating the initial syllable of the word then modifying the remainder to avoid censure. (ed: now that's what I call a pretentious definiton... eh what?)
a shilling (1/-), from the mid-1800s, derived from association with the many European dinar coins and similar, and derived in turn and associated with the Roman denarius coin which formed the basis of many European currencies and their names. The pronunciation emphasis tends to be on the long second syllable 'aah' sound. The expression is interpreted into Australian and New Zealand money slang as deener, again meaning shilling.
a shilling (1/-), from the mid-1800s, also transferred later to the decimal equivalent 5p piece, from the same roots that produced the 'deaner' shilling slang and variations, i.e., Roman denarius and then through other European dinar coins and variations. As with deanar the pronunciation emphasis tends to be on the long second syllable 'aah' sound.
A vocalist who improvises lyrics, substituting nonsense syllables for words
Dirk was used in exactly the same was as knob is this these days, i.e. "You stupid dirk!" Used when you didn't have time or energy to pronounce all the sylables in longer more insulting words (which were probably a bit gay and not at all insulting really - well for 5-8 year olds that is) you would call them a dirk.
Mentally challenged. When someone acts stupidly or is slow on the uptake. Say, 'You minda!' ("i" as in "rib", stress the first syllable) and act as for "derbrain". Comes from Minda Incorporated, the South Australian company which supports people with intellectual disabilities.

Special Needs Unit at the contributors school (one of the earliest set up in the country) and to be "Unit" was to be strange in some way - if anyone did anything odd they had "Unit" chanted at them for a while. It's roughly equivalent to "Joey", said in two deliberately long syllables as "Uuuuu-nittttt".
An exclamation used to acknowledge the pain or anguish of a second party, though often that pain may well have been brought about by the first party themselves. For example, when changing after PE, when some amount of bare skin was inevitable, a person might issue a resounding and painful slap to the bare back of a contemporary, leaving a large red hand mark and bringing about a squeal of pain. "Stinger!" the slapper might then say, as if to sympathise with their agony. It was also used to acknowledge pain that was merely witnessed, not caused. Say, for example, if you saw someone go over their handle bars at 30mph or take a cricket ball full pelt to the bridge of the nose, "Stinger!" you'd announce, with a heavy emphasis on the first syllable. "Stinger" was also used in constructions such as: "Stinger for you!" and the stranger "Stinger for YOUR head!!!".
(ed: entered verbatim - I'm sure the word isn;t quite right but I can;t recall what it *shoul* be - all help apprecuiated) Slang term for "outhouse." , Pronounced GA-BOON; rqual accent on both syllables. (Not GA-boon, or ga-BOON.) The "ga" rhymes with "la," as in "Fa-la-la." I grew up in 1950's mid-Missouri, USA, when outhouses were still commonly used. I only heard my daddy refer to them as gaboons, though, and I don't know the origin. I'm sure he grew up saying it in the 1920's. Our 2-room country school, for instance, had two gaboons. A 3-holer for the boys, and a 3-holer for the girls. I hope someone knows more. Thanks!
