On the Bot
You won’t find the word “bot” over at sandnsurf’s Ausenclature and Aussie dictionary. Well not yet anyway.
In the Age of Internets “bot” means something quite different, but in old Aussie slang it means to “scrounge”. If you were always wanting to bot, say, a cigarette you would get a bit of a bad name as you were always borrowing but never giving anything back.
I am on the bot.
I need a few different types of chargers for the different makes of MP3 players. With overcrowding, transient population and no real safe place to keep belongings the chargers for many MP3 players go missing.
I recharge several overnight that use a mini-USB port (computers are uncommon in homes) but I lack chargers for the different proprietary brands such as the smaller iPod variations, Sansdisk(?) etc.
If you are in Australia and can lay your hands on some please contact me.
But that’s not all!
I am after a dictionary. Well a few really. It is for some young men who want to improve their literacy. I require something with simple explanations that passes in company as an adult, not a child’s dictionary. I have no idea where to look for this online. If you know where I can obtain such a beast please let me know.
And I do have something to offer you in return. Go have a Captain Cook at Australian Slang. Practice hard!
Anyway, I have to go as I am flat out like a lizard drinking.
