Gendy nooch, cozzie livs and murder noodle: Australian words lining up for a Macquarie dictionary debut
Linguist says Australians are unique and creative as we ‘take each word and turn it into a diminutive and then put an S on the end’


Gendy nooch, cozzie livs and murder noodle.

According to the Macquarie dictionary, these are the top words to watch for in April as editors weigh up their inclusion in upcoming editions.

Gendy nooch, meaning gender-neutral, cozzie livs, or cost of living, and murder noodle, a venomous snake, have been put up for discussion.

The list also includes tiger toast, toast with a topping of Vegemite and strips of cheese and password child, a child favoured over their siblings, as shown by their name being used in a parent’s digital password.

The dictionary is asking readers to submit new words.

I've always said that Australia is the USA of the southern hemisphere and this is another step in that direction - making up a separate dictionary.
