Another furfie?" . - "No, dinkum oil this time; the | boys have imshied the Turks on the (right and got fifty prisoners, who | say they have had mafeesh tucker for | two days." Bonza corresponds with our "rip- png' 'or "'tophole." A furfie is aru mor, drinkum means "genuine," and |dinkum ofl "authenticated news." | mshi is Gippy for "clear out," and mafeesh, which {is borrowed from |the same téngue, means "nothing." When an Australian wishes to ac- j duire something he 'shakes it," | whereas the British Tommy either | "makes it" or "scroungs it." | Tommy's slang is largely derived { from Hindustani, and includes such | words as "'chipperow" for "shut up," | but some jildi into it," weaning "hurry up," and "let's have a | dekko,"" when he wants to have a look at something. : Pozzy is jam-- cherb, beer--rooty, bread--dough, money---jippo, 'gravy --muckim, buttey -- char, tea. { "Swinging the lead" is pretending or deceiving.
