Licknstick

A fast painting method used when time is tight, but the result still needs to look presentable. Involves basic surface prep like plastering with light sanding, followed by a quick coat or two of paint. Common in renovations, or any job where speed matters but standards still count. A blend from the terms 'lick of paint' and 'stick it' meaning to get it done quickly.

We had two days to turn the place around, so I did a quick flastering job then gave the walls a licknstick, it came up looking schmick.

Siiwee

A playful, affectionate way to say someone is being silly, goofy, or acting a bit daft but in the sweetest, most endearing way possible. Often used with kids, mates, or pets when they’re messing around or doing something harmlessly cheeky.

Flastering

A quick, single-coat plastering technique where the surface is plastered and sanded as soon as dry, in quick succession. Usually used to prep a wall or ceiling for painting. Common in renovation or patch-up jobs where time is limited but a decent finish is required. Blend of the words fast + plastering.

Mate, we were running behind, so I just did a quick flastering job on the ceiling, she'll be right once it's had a lick of paint.

Tootooie

Over-the-top in a way that’s excessive, weird, or hard to explain, just too much.

The cake was piled so high with icing, sprinkles, and glittery toppings that it looked more like a craft project than dessert, the cake was tootooie.
