Okay, here is one for our Australian friends: Dookie! :D

Compare your fine establishment of higher learning... :

And you wonder why the world hates us! :rolleyes: :D

Thomas you make a great point, a dookie also means a couple of other things. Or at least I have heard them used differently a few times, dookie in concern to children is usually a turd, and then rarely, but I have heard it, a dookie might refer to a joint of marijuana. Maybe it's just a west coast vs. east coast thing. It's funny how we talk about the differences in different countries, but the cool thing about America is that we differ a lot on what we say INSIDE our country...

On the East Coast here, dookie is pretty much a turd. :) I have heard a joint referred to as a "doobie" here, but it seems a pretty outdated term. I haven't heard it in a very long time.

Here is some mention of the term doobie:

Okay, here when we get pissed we are mad, but when y'all get pissed you are drunk! What's up with that!!

wizzkid89 · Dec 16, 2006, 01:44 PM

It probably has something to do with being "piss drunk"... I would assume anyway, but don't take my advice... I thought a dookie was a doobie... lol

J_9 · Dec 16, 2006, 01:45 PM

Oh, Gawd, I would hate the smell of you smoking a DOOKIE!!

BTW, Which Doobie You Be?

Only the die hards will get that one.

We also say lets go on the piss, lets get pissed up and also some parts are known to say going on the lash as well which also means getting very, very drunk! We do also in some parts use the same term as you, like you can get pissed off which means your mad at them our your pissed with them.

Man that is an awful lot of pissing.
Pissing about means messing around or carrying on too.
