knackers


Said to a male person as you would say mate. Mostly used by men to other men: How ya going knackers?

Contributor's comments: Well - I am shocked, we always, when I was a teenager in Melbourne in the 1970s, referred to our testicles as our knackers. Also, the past tense verb, "I am knackered", if you were "buggered"...

Contributor's comments: Whilst living in Melbourne, this word was often heard in the phrase "G'day Knackers!" It doesn't seem to get a run up here in Qld, except from those ex-pat Victorians like myself!
