    I left Australia decades back, so all my slang vocabulary is stuck from when I left.

    rorted - being high

    having a pash - intense kissing

      Too right. Someone in my household reminded us that we used to use munted all the time, so we’re bringing it back into our vocab, haha

      Munted - mutated, fucked up, borken

      We used to use rorted to mean… well it would be past tense for hitting a bong, “to rort” being the verb. I am in the UK and have no idea where that slang came from.
