Definitions
Australian slang for toilet paper — a term that's both crude and oddly endearing, typical of Australian informal humor. The 'tickets' framing adds a bureaucratic absurdity to the most basic of bathroom supplies. It's the kind of phrase that might pop up in casual banter, shared-house conversations, or as a euphemism that's somehow simultaneously ruder and funnier than the thing it describes. During pandemic-era toilet paper shortages, the phrase gained new ironic resonance.
We've completely run out of poo tickets — someone needs to do a supermarket run.

(euphemistic) : a minced oath for 'shit'.
- back one out58%
Australian slang for defecating, using the spatial metaphor of backing a vehicle out of a space. Somewhat euphemistic compared to more direct terms, but the vehicle imagery makes it simultaneously vivid and deniable. Casual in register and typically used among friends rather than in polite or mixed company. A characteristic example of Australian slang's preference for unexpected metaphors. The slang falls into the Australian tradition of applying mundane mechanical metaphors to bodily functions for deadpan comic effect.

- dunny58%
Australian: toilet. Classic old-school Aussie slang — more at-home on a farm than in a gastropub, but still in daily use across the country. Pairs well with "bush dunny" and "long-drop dunny" for the rural variants.
