Word used by Australian Butchers which forms part of a

or the product which they are purchasing.

bust(breats); gels - legs; ckuf (pronounced cuff) - fuck; toor - root; gaf - fag, as in a
homosexual, lup - pull, as in to masturbate; ekoms - smoke, as in a cigarette.
An example of few sentences may be: "Hey tnuc (cunt) did you teg (get) a toor (root) last
night?", "Look at the esra (arse) on that dooger. (good, as in good looking) I'ld love to
cuff (fuck) her!", "I'm just going out for an ekoms, (smoke) I might have a lup (pull) while

rocket!" "Ya fuckin' rocket!" Do you see?
There was also a practice of responding to a ridiculous suggestion with a words-and-pictures
composition. "Ask your mum to go for the carry-out," would be greeted with, first,"a-rocket!"
then holding the right arm at the elbow to the waist and brushing it past the ear (reminiscent
of my own school's 'spazzy' motion) in shooing-away-wasp action coupled with loud raspberry.
