As an 80s kid, I remember saying this word... a lot.

While other colloquialisms seem to have hung around this one seems to have vanished from common vernacular.

I have some questions ...

Did everyone say this, or only my siblings and I? Is it Western Australian? Australian? or Global?

Where did it come from? Does it mean or refer to anything or is it just random syllables?

Where did it go? Why did this word fall out of favor while others are still in popular use?
