- hug 7y agoYeah when ya wanna nip on down to the servo at sparrow's fart for a sanga and some durries it always takes 'em yonks an' it's not just because old mate behind the counter's a bloody galah and couldn't organise a root in a brothel. Even worse in the arvo when they're flat out like a lizard drinking, can't crack the shits at the cobber though job's not a piece of piss.

- thaumasiotes 7y agoThat's a pretty funny quoted snippet in the first result: > Dart is a synonym of cigarette. So far so good... > As nouns the difference between dart and cigarette is that dart is a pointed missile weapon, intended to be thrown by the hand; a short lance; a javelin; any sharp-pointed missile weapon, as an arrow while cigarette is tobacco, marijuana, or other substances, in a thin roll wrapped with paper, intended to be smoked. That makes it sound like they're not so synonymous, somehow.
