Nigh-Night!

We use thatin the great white north too

I think it's universal.

We use several of those back in the mother country, so be careful wouldn't want folk to think you're a Pommy. ;)

many people know that Aussies have their own version of heaps of the cockney rhyming slang so I left that out.. Plus Aussie slang for a v. long time was much more 'vulgar' but seeing as that does not apply anymore here's one more: "Verandah above the toyshop" refers to a male paunch. heh heh heh.

To the Canadian: We have many more drunk slang than that... only put a few in the list: If you manage to write more Canadian 'Drunk' terms than above I'll put some more in... ie. Wanna Slangmatch?(at some later date)
Anyway, nighty-night bo tingles...

thanks for the slang list. :hi:

Good night to you.
