What is Dinkum?

The capacity of a homosapien to detect an extraordinary piece of fur that is ridin’ solo or worn by the likes of. It becomes their audacity to declare the words ‘fur dinkum’, as recalled by its counterpart ‘fair dinkum’. Essentially, it means this piece of fur is for real ( fake or not!)

However, it can be used to replace ‘fair dinkum’ in that everything that you agree with, becomes ‘fur dinkum’

Scenario One
Lady in red, wearing a foxy fox on her debonair shoulders walks past.....
Kylie: That is fur dinkum!

Scenario Two
Kylie: Are you going to watch Nrth Melbourne lose this weekend?
Clark: I dunno, what do you reckon Sahara?
Sahara: Fur Dinkum

Dinkum - what is it?

Right on, well done, for sure, agree, the goods, full sick for sure, top quality, etc etc.

An amalgamation of the New Zealander word
Primo and the Australian word fair dinkum - which none of us say by the way.

Said in a sentence:

"Mate, you see that shot?"
"Yeah bro, that was prim-dinkum!"
"Chair bro"

As New Zealanders are slowly taking over the world, a NZ friend and I decided to bring the two 'islands' a little closer. Prim-dinkum!
