Canny...

Lucky....as in That's canny that is !!!

We have a real similar one...I'll haul it out later.

 

Derro ..... Short for derelect ... But used to describe a person who doesn't realy give much care for how they look ... I have an Uncle Derro...it's been his nickname since they were kids, I thought it was his actual name for years....basically while clean, they are not neat and tidy, but I kept and ragged, with holy or very out of fashion clothes.

 

That Brian is such a Derro, needs a shave and a brush through his hair.

 

Or as a low grade insult... Ahh ya Derro.

@Jordan7 you are up for 'G', lol.

 

Apparently not.  It seems I am the Goat ... derisive sports term for a player responsible for a team's loss OR the greatest of all time -- you pick.

Onya... Not the same Onya I did last time...this one is completely different....

 

Onya ... Short for "Good On You"...which can be meant as either a woohoo or a derisive put down... It all depends on the tone and context.

 

Onya Saintas.... well done Saint Kilda

 

Kid: I got an A in science.

Me: Onya Bird 

 

Kid: mum I spilt the milk.

Me: Onya

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
