 * AFL - the sport of Australian Football; i.e. a child may state "we're going to play a game of AFL" to mean the sport, not the league. This term is used particuarly in New South Wales and Queensland where Aussie Rules has traditionally been a minor sport compared to rugby league, despite being played continuously since the 1870s in NSW, for example.

Appendix:Australian English dated vocabulary

Many distinctive Australian words have been driven to or near to extinction in recent decades under the homogenising influence of mass media and imported culture, because of changes in fashion, or have fallen into disuse as society changes. Those who like or use these words regret their passing but informal vocabulary is by nature ephemeral. Others who use these words do so ironically.

Some examples:
 * around the traps – around one's usual haunts. Formerly quite common, but now declining. It was famously used by ARL boss Ken Arthurson when news of a Super league was emerging in Rugby League during the 90's, "Word around the traps".
 * Bodgie – a male member of a 1950s rock 'n' roll subculture, somewhat similar to the US greasers and British rockers. Now only historical.
 * bonzer – excellent (almost extinct). Probably from the Spanish word bonanza, by way of American English. Also spelt bonza.
 * cooee! – a shouted greeting or long-distance contact call, used as when searching for a lost person, esp. in the bush. Also in the colloquial phrase "not within cooee", meaning "a long way off". Used in conversation to recapture the attention of someone you were talking to. "Cooeee Brian, are you listening?" Once ubiquitous, now becoming less common.
 * traps, trappers, "cunts", "dog cunts", "low lifes", "the filth", "penny", "2 cent piece" or jacks – police. These Australianisms have been largely replaced by the international cops, coppers, pigs or bacon. However the older, more affectionate wallopers is also still used.
 * drongo – an idiot (usage in decline). Either referring to the drongo bird which have extravagantly flared tails and cavort noisily in groups as part of their mating habits, but also, possibly an indirect derivation, from the name of a remarkably unsuccessful racehorse.
 * furphy – a lie or rumour. Furphy was the supplier of water carts to the Australian Army in World War I. Much like modern day water coolers, the carts became meeting points and rumour mills.
 * galah – a fool (survives, but in decline), from the bird. Almost always used in combination with 'bloody'. "You bloody galah!" (You bloody idiot!) This word has been used in commercials against drunk driving; "Don't be a galah!".Alf Stewart
 * map of Tassie – Female pubic hair. Tassie being short for Tasmania and used for the general similarity in shape of the map to this part of the anatomy. First appears in the 1980s. Not in common usage, but stable.
 * Mollydooker – a left handed person.
 * Nasho – adjective and noun, pertaining to National Service or conscription for military service esp. in 1960s.
 * Sharpie – member of a 1960s and 1970s teenage subculture. Probably from "sharply dressed" and/or a reference to the use of knives.
 * struth! (sometimes spelt strewth) – expression of shock or dismay (replaced by stronger expletives such as "fuck!" or "shit!"). Possibly of Shakespearean origin, "God's Truth". Also used in Britain. Other older expletives of English origin such as "cripes", "my oath" and "blimey" are also dying out.
 * warrigal – a dingo, or any wild thing.
 * Widgie – female Bodgie (see above).
 * wowser – a killjoy or puritan. Still used but in decline.

RFV failed, sense removed. —Ruakh TALK 02:25, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Chambers 1908's take on the "medical sensation" sense
They say: "a sensation as of a current of cold air, a premonitory symptom of epilepsy and hysteria". We mention a premonitory sensation for epilepsy and migraine, but not the obsolete diagnosis of "hysteria" (might merit a historical sense?), nor do we say that it's like a current of cold air; is that true? Equinox ◑ 15:25, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

 * I think the "cold air" part is an old misunderstanding. I have seen it in another dictionary too. The word "aura" in the modern meanings seems to be a fairly new word, perhaps from the 1800s? Here in Sweden where I live it is | first attested in 1924. Yes, there is the Latin and Greek words "aura" and "αὔρα" that means "breeze, soft wind", but I am pretty sure the modern word "aura" instead derives from the shiny aureola / aureole which has a similar meaning to halo. We even often use the word "aura" for things more properly named aureola, halo, glory, or corona. And aureola in turn derives from aureolus which means "made or covered in gold, golden" as in aurum = gold. The "aura" in the parapsychology sense is shiny and shaped like the aureola in religious paintings. And medical aura (related to migraine and epilepsy) can be a shiny visible phenomena when it affects the visual part of the brain, although the medical aura has any shape and doesn't specifically surround objects. So aura, as in shiny, as in golden. So I think the current Latin "breeze" etymology in the entry is most likely wrong.
 * Also, according to my friends that have epilepsy they just feel "weird" before an epileptic seizure, they don't feel a breeze. (They sometimes notice it a few seconds before the seizure so they have time to say "Ooh oh, I'm getting a seizure".)
 * Regarding the "hysteria" part: It is likely an old medical exaggeration. I have medical aura myself. When a medical aura attack affects certain parts of the brain we can become very irritable. In some cases we can't stand to be around people at all, and if people don't leave us alone when we ask them to we can become aggressive (as in yelling at them to leave). Note that until not long ago doctors thought that medical aura only affected women, probably because men tended to report medical issues and especially neurological issues much less. And back in the days when a woman didn't behave according to the societal norms (especially if she was "disagreeable" or did show any form of aggression) the standard go-to diagnosis was "hysteria".

Etymology
Borrowed from.

Usage notes

 * In Finnish, accusative is the case of a total object, whereas partial object is in partitive. The accusative has two forms, one that looks similar to genitive (often called genitive-accusative) and the other that looks like nominative (nominative-accusative). The choice between them depends on the form of the verb to which the object is referring and the plurality of the object itself. For a short explanation of accusative in Finnish, see Wikipedia on.

Category talk:CJKV characters simplified differently in Japan and China

Name
How about “CJKV characters simplified differently in Japanese and Chinese”? Dustsucker 15:40, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I support your idea, but that should be furthered discussed before a change.--Jusjih 18:08, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Missing Characters
There are several not listed here, such as 亞 (Japan:亜, China:亚) and compounds like 惡. – Jmolina116 21:04, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

 * How do I go about adding to this page? I can name off several others like 龜 (Japan: 亀, China: 龟) and really basic ones like 齒,歯,齿 that should really be included. Jmolina116 (talk) 21:14, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Need to edit the character entries (the Translingual section) and add to the category, see 傳, 传 and 伝, like this:

 * Traditional character, e.g. 傳:

 * Japanese-specific character, e.g. 伝:

 * Simplified character, e.g. 传:

Note that they are all sorted by the same character, the numbers after the character also sort them by traditional, simplified, Japanese-specific. --Anatoli (обсудить) 02:12, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Thank you! Jmolina116 (talk) 22:32, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Characters Don't Show Up Twice?
The character 历 is the Chinese simplified form of both 曆 and 歷 (which in Japanese are 暦 and 歴 – two strokes less than the traditional forms), but it will only show up under one of the two and not the other. Is there any way around this? – Jmolina116 (talk) 23:39, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

 * That sounds like an annoying technical problem that should be brought up in the Grease Pit. — hippietrail (talk) 01:46, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

 * I don't understand the question. I have just added 暦 to the category, so 曆, 暦 and 历 all appear sorted under 曆. Is that what you wanted? BTW, the Japanese characters, which are different from both trad./simpl/ shouldn't have Mandarin or other Sinitic sections, unless they were borrowed (there are some rare cases). --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 02:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Pinging participants:, . --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 01:40, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * 历 should be listed twice: 1) 历 暦 曆 under 曆; 2) 历 歴 歷 under 歷. Wyang (talk) 03:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Could you clarify where exactly? I have just added to . --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:24, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * in Category:CJKV characters simplified differently in Japan and China. Wyang (talk) 04:51, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll try to look into it later tonight but I might need help. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 04:58, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * It's the way categories work that has this limitation. We could look into two approaches I can think of:
 * Use an appendix rather than a category.
 * Add some JavaScript magic to "fix" cases like this. It would need some changes to the template since I don't think JS could do it on its own.
