N is for -
- Nappy – diaper
***
O is for –
- Oldies or Olds - parents or grandparents.
***
P is for –
- Prawn - I’ll probably never use this but it needs to go in. Prawn = shrimp
- Prezzie – present, gift. (Chrissie prezzies = Christmas presents)

nuff-nuff or nuffy: idiot, like the person who smokes while they’re filling the car’s fuel tank, someone who just never “gets it”..
Also forgot Ocker (over-the-top Australian like Steve Irwin or Paul Hogan)
