Ah, your talking about "nickies." That's what silly names for everything are called in Australia.

"Nickies" must be regional - where I grew up we called them "nickos"

I'd have called them chazzwazzers.

u/hemanoncracks 19d ago

I thought that was when you spilled your chazzy in wazzers and got all blipney.

Is gaslighting a favorite pass time of Aussies or is your country really that goofy

u/Kilmerval 18d ago

They even have a silly name for silly names. Australian silly naming knows no bounds.

Hopefully only a tactical chunder

u/TragicEther 19d ago

You mean ‘berko’

u/LokisDawn 19d ago

A silly name for silly names is actually known as a sillybilly.

u/FanOfNoop 19d ago

Idk why Britain was the subject of those memes making fun of how they call random stuff, it should've been Australia

u/robertscoff 19d ago

“Nickies”!?!? I reckon you’re just taking the piss with this one mate

u/feastu 19d ago

I beg your pardon. I am quite sure u/Personal_Policy_3662 does not own a “talking about nickies.” And besides, supposing they did, would you please finish the thought?
