Hey kids! Is there a Nick expression that you don't understand or would like an origin for? I will reply to all submissions!

Abysinnya: Taken from MASH as a way of saying goodbye. Say it slowly and it might make sense. If that doesn't help, say "Ill be seein' ya" fast.

Aflafla: Alfalfa backwards. Most entertaining to say quickly.

Cadbury: Major Australian chocolate manufacturer. Slang term for one who gets drunk easily. This is due to Cadbury's boast that each chocolate bar contains "a glass and a half" of milk, and the notion that people who are Cadbury can get drunk after a "glass and a half".

Cherry Pie: A standard pie crust with cherry filling. Don’t ever think about cherry pie. Especially in exams. Used to put people off and generally spread havoc (You would be surprised how many people have come up to me complaining that I made them think about Cherry pie at a critical moment)

Conception day: Holiday made famous by Julia. It’s the day 9 months before your birthday when your parents got down and dirty and made you. Great excuse for a celebration. Or at least an excuse for getting drunk.

Crunchy Vagina Bar: Nonsensical phrase that has been used for generations just to make people laugh. Especially if shouted/yelled/coughed at a critical moment.

Double entendre: Officially described as "An ambiguity with one interpretation that is indelicate" but often taken as "a phrase, word or sentence that has a double meaning, and one of the meanings is sexual". For example: “I'm a curbside prophet with my hand in my pocket and I'm waiting for my rocket to come” and Blink 182's double entendre album name "Take off your pants and jacket."

Douche: Derogatory term for a person. If you want to know what it REALLY means, look it up in a dictionary.

En Taro Adun!: Me showing my inner nerd. Protoss greeting from Starcraft.

Exsanguination: Cool word that I just heard on CSI as I write this. From memory it is the procedure of being drained of blood. Most likely to happen if an artery is punctured, the heart acts as a pump and pumps all the blood out.

FACH: Almost another piss poor attempt to cut down on swearing. No such luck. Short for the course I am sitting. Forensic and Analytical CHemistry.

Feck, Farq, Fark: Piss poor attempts for me to cut down on my swearing. If Shrek can get away with it, so can I!

Flinders: The University I attend. Nice people. Huge campus. Many ducks.

Goon: a) An action or person who is none too smart. Eg: "Oh goon! I locked my keys in the car."

b) Cheap cask wine. A staple for student drunkenness. Its cheap, it tastes nasty, but it mixes with almost everything

Grrrr ROOF!: The sound a doggy makes! Most disturbing when coming from a human

Hasta: Another fantastic way of saying goodbye. Can't remember where I picked it up from.

IB: Short for International Baccalaureate. The course I hold my high school diploma in.

Jackass: a) TV show in which dickheads do stupid stuff for me to laugh at

b) Someone who you do not appreciate much.

Kevin's Bacon's penis: An expression used because saying "Kevin Bacons penis" is fairly hard to say. Quite irritating. Testament to his tackle being visible in almost every movie he stars in.

L337: Computer speak for "leet", a shortening of “elite” which implies that you are better than the person you are talking to. Eg: Ha-ha, You n00b! I am uber-l337!

Merc: Shorthand for either a) An expensive luxury car

b) Mercedes College, the institution where I passed my school days

N00b: short\slang\computer speak for "Newbie", A term for someone who is inexperienced at something. The term "haha N00b!" implies that you have demonstrated your ignorance or inexperience. Being n00bed is the process of having your ignorance demonstrated to you by a superior.

Oubliette: Pit for storing prisoners. Comes from the French word "To forget" (Added here because I had nothing for O)

Pr0n: Literature of a pornographic nature.

SACE: South Australian Certificate of Education. The alternative to IB. Done by the smart people who don't want to subject themselves to the tortures of IB.

Smurf: Dual meaning: a) A tiny blue skinned little creature that lives in a mushroom house and is chased by Gargamel.

b) The procedure of slapping someone across the face with a penis. Either real or fake.

Sniper Monkeys: Winged monkeys with high power rifles lurking in the trees waiting to capture my head in the crosshairs.

ToK: Theory of Knowledge. An IB subject. Sort of like philosophy. Thinking about thinking. That crap.

They're in the walls!: Taken from perennial favourite "Aliens". Said to create havoc, chaos and disorder.

The Bloods: Westies. The Bloodhounds. Local football team of whom my father and I both support

Woo, Woo: A way of calming people down. Stolen from a certain religion coordinator who thinks he is all 12 apostles.

What? _____?: Often used as a vehicle to pay someone out. After they make a comment that is a double entendre, the blank is filled in with an appropriate name, with the emphasis being a derogatory remark to the person in question. For Example: Mark (Whose girlfriend's name is Gina) is playing golf and complains "Damn, I am playing so bad I almost got it in the wrong hole!" Mark's friends would duly reply "What, Gina?" in reference to questionable sexxxual practices.

Why don't you go and endlessly ejaculate lighter fluid into an eternal lake of blazing brimstone: Something I say when I don't want to talk to you anymore. Much like "goodbye"
