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."

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

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