Imagine it's rude.

Maybe it is my sick mind. What was the context?

northernbird

root is a slang word for sex here. You know like 'I gave the missus a good rooting'

Gives the phrase rooting about in the cupboards a whole new meaning doesn't it.

Wendy

It means having sex

ahh right, well i've been rooted to my chair and computer all night!

Thanks everyone, might have known there'd be sex in it somewhere!

God, i've been rooting round the shops all day ere. Gonna have to change my vocabulary!
Another one is nosh......where i live a good nosh means a good meal/feed. When i worked in Liverpool and told staff i had a good nosh last nite they turned white- there it means blowjob!!

A router (as pronounced in the UK or SA) is not a networking device or woodworking tool in Australia!

Swerv-o

I think it also refers to the component of a plant that lies beneath the surface and utilises a semi permeable membrane to absorb water from the soil via osmosis.

My OH stated when approached by a shop assistant "can I help you sir?"
his reply was " No thanks just having a root in yer bargain bins!" Everyone just pissed themselves laughing, and politely said " you don't wanna be saying things like that over here sir"

Kooky.

My husband learned this the hard way a couple of years ago whilst demo'ing software to a government body (prospective client) in Canberra. He was describing a workflow, saying "you can route it this way, or you can route it that way..." and wondered why his Aussie colleagues had their heads in their hands.
