Get the Duppie mug.Used throughout New Zealand and a large part of Australia as an all round term for a (tobacco) cigarette.
Despite my most concerted efforts, I have yet to find an acceptable etymology for this word. I can only surmise that it has been lost in the Mists Of Time.

Get the durrie mug.(often, 'Durry')
Generic term for a cigarette in the Antipodeas, esp. Australia.
Short for 'Bull Durham' - an old brand of rolling tobacco.
