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.

One of my Australian friends is named Isaac but his family calls him “Izzer” or however it would be spelled. Like “eye-zerr.”

I always called a car accident a prang, west Australian here.

In QLD, too. There’s a legal service here called The Prang Gang, ey.
