And for this colonial, a translation of "naff" would be appreciated.

Naff= Rubbish ugly no good.

I just had some say my tree looks=dope= so I asked one of my grandchildren, it means good or very good.

I thought it meant maryjuana

This new speak is an whole different language.

Well, being a pup you should be able to pick up a new language easily. It is us old folks who need help understanding today's youth.

We Australian's have a habit of using the opposite for some things as in Bluey for a red head, so the reverse for Pup.
As I Jim have 4 kids 10 grand kids and 5 and a half great grandies.
I have offered them new TV's but they reckon its better fun, making babies Also one of our treasurers , gave them a baby bonus in one of his budgets, and it is still there $5,000-00, for each one

I think I might qualify for the opposite of Pup wadya reckon, she'll be apples.

Cheers Mate

Wow, great-grandchildren (even if one is only a half)... and I thought I was older than dirt when I became a grandfather.

As for the 5,000 baby bonus, nice idea, it must keep a lot of people off the streets at night.
