Nikko means: A felt-tip pen, of the Nikko brand or of any other brand, or the marks left by such a pen.. It is mainly Australian English and may not be understood outside that context. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

(Australia) Chewing tobacco.
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.
(UK) A pen that holds quick-drying ink conveyed to a writing surface by means of a felt nib.
(UK, Ireland, Commonwealth, slang) Stolen.
Nikko means: A felt-tip pen, of the Nikko brand or of any other brand, or the marks left by such a pen.. Register: informal, Australian English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international audience. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
