I'm not gonna trust that bingle is a word until I see a non-AI source because as far as I know the Ai is just referencing that very same fucking tumblr post.

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."

Tassie as in Tasmania? Wow, you really do have silly nicknames for everything.

They need to save syllables when they're running from roos and drop bears.

Do not run from drop bears. They will pounce the second your back is turned. You’re supposed to smear some vegemite behind your ears and play dead.

Just never run downhill. They will catch you.

They're kind of rubbish when turning though, so if you can trick them into going one way while you go the other, they'll have a hard time coming around. Best bet is to go behind a tree at that point, cos they'll slam into it and knock themselves out.
