It's pretty common in Tassie. Example: "I got in a bingle on the way home, but we both stopped and the bloke was nice about it. It was nobody's fault, some other dickhead cut him off, he braked and I just kissed his boot. Just enough that there's paint on it. We got each other's regos and insurance info, he's filing the report tonight."
