What is dirth?

Scarcity or lack of something...particularly spelling. When you think Luke's father is named Dirth Vader, and even that isn't right. Maybe you should read a book. Or watch a movie (with the captions on), at the very least. And that would STILL be wrong.

Dirth. Actually spelled DEARTH. A basic lack of being or understanding. What inner city kids call the planet on which we exist.

Dirth - what is it?

Dirth was recently formed in early 2013 from the inner Melbourne city streets referring to what should have been a living baby being born from it's mother, thus "birth" but instead the baby has come out dead, hence "dirth". Can be used as both a noun and verb in these instances.

Noun: The physical emergence of a stillborn baby or other lifeless young from it's mother. What was meant to be the start of life as a physically separate being but instead is the start of death of a physically separate being.

Verb: Give dirth to (a stillborn or lifeless baby).

Though the term dirth is perhaps more commonly used as a noun, adjective, verb or adverb when referring to certain dishes of the Australian cuisine common to the East Melbourne suburbs.

James: "Yo Vic, what's cooking? Is that dirthed chicken I smell?"

Vic: "Yeah man, I was feeling pretty dirthy today and this is the dirthiest of chickens. Can someone give me a hand over here dirthing this?"

James: "That's dirth as"
