[Mihalic] Asidua

[John Burton]

"As i op" is a common enough spray for a someone who is "slack" in
Australian English. (N.B. does not translate as "slack-arse".)

"As i op" can also be used more generally as a substitute for "pamuk", for
example in referring to greedy politicians who will metaphorically hop into
bed with anyone, e.g. "draipela as i op!".

I will consult local sources on "as i dua". If nobody has actually thought
of it before, Thomas Slone, you have probably just invented it. Even by
asking people if it exists, it will soon be all over the place.

Sounds rather vulgar, "as i dua", one whose arse is a door!
