Slang of the Day
🇦🇺turps
✍🏾Meaning:
alcohol, alcoholic drinks
❕For example:
🔺My mate Barry was on the turps for years before he started going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
🔺When I saw Bruce, I said "Geez mate, you don't look too hot. Get stuck into the turps last night, did ya?"
➕Origin: short for "turpentine", a distilled oil used in mixing paints. Turpentine is not an alcoholic drink, but its smell seems to remind people of a very cheap form of industrial alcohol, and the word "turps" has become a humorous reference to very cheap and strong forms of alcohol.
📌Variety: This slang term is typically used in Australian English but may be used in other varieties of English too.
