Australian casual shorthand for touch football — the non-contact version of rugby league where instead of tackling players you touch them to end the play. Touch footy is huge in Australian recreational sports culture, played in parks, school yards, and corporate sports leagues across the country. It's faster and more accessible than full rugby since anyone can play without worrying about getting smashed. A Friday afternoon touch footy session with coworkers is as Australian as a barbie on the weekend.
