Niki-niki is Australian slang for chewing tobacco — the stuff you tuck into your cheek rather than light up. The term has an informal, bush-vernacular energy that fits neatly into the broader tradition of colourful Australian slang for vices. While chewing tobacco isn't as mainstream as it once was, niki-niki survives as a regional curiosity with a pleasantly rhythmic sound to it.
