Hi Kerry

 

I haven't heard hooroo since i left Melbourne some 30 yrs past... many thanks to Thied for answering for me but he obviously has never heard or used it....just copy and pasted......

...actual meaning when i was a much younger girl:p was: male or female who is VERY VERY highly rated in the bedroom department.... :o:o:D

 

Thanks Shiona, I like your explanation more. Are you blushing? You are such a dag... (I would like to see the copy & pasted meaning for that one.)

Hooroo : farewell, goodbye

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

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. We are not playing for sheep stations.;)

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. :)

[thied]

chinwag : a chat or gossip

 

 

Cook (noun) : One's wife

 

 

Ankle biter : Young child

Me too. I would never think of it in any other way but to refer to someone as a character.

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.
