It's most commonly used in NZ. It means to scavenge for collectable objects. But yeah that's the start but later we realised it was also something else.

- eurleif 3y agoFwiw, while I haven't heard "poozle" very much as an American, I've heard it enough that my mind instantly went to the unfortunate definition when I saw it here. Meanwhile, I've never heard the NZ definition at all before.
- harshithmul 3y agoGot it. We might have to think to change the name
- acqbu 3y agoSlangonym for vagina. According to The Big Book of Filth (1999) coinage and usage dates back to the late 19 th century.
- harshithmul 3y agoYeah :( looks like we should change the name
- smcleod 3y agowell, that escalated quickly '-), sorry if I opened a can of worms by pointing this out, I guess better to sort these things early on than worry about them later in some ways though.
- mkl 3y ago> It's most commonly used in NZ. It means to scavenge for collectable objects. Not at all commonly used in NZ. I've lived in NZ my whole life and never heard the word.
- harshithmul 3y agoGotcha. We will surely rethink on the name
- smcleod 3y agoFunny you mention NZ, kiwi here - back in high school (late 90s, early 00s) it was definitely a known word and had nothing to do with scavenging (or at least I'd hope not!).
