Amphetamine
(1) male ejaculate (2) courage (3) an attractive male (4) worthless individual, eg; "Now listen here, spunk!" (ed: it's odd how the word has opposite meanings in UK and AUS, i.e. Aussie girls LIKE their men to be "spunks")From Scottish Gaelic "spong", tinder, pith, sponge, and Middle Irish "spongc", tinder. Both related to Latin "spongia", sponge. The link to sponge is that wood used for kindling was spongy in appearance. More below. Used in 1536 as "sponk" to mean "a spark". The figurative use of "spunk" meaning "courage, pluck" comes from the late 18th century. It was not slang for semen until the late 19th century. In 1811, it was still defined in a dictionary of cant and underground slang as "rotten touchwood, or a kind of fungus prepared for tinder; figuratively spirit, courage". I surmise that the link to semen was because the ejaculate leaps out like sparks, indicating a virile chap, and virile isn't far from courageous, having mettle, spirited. Meanwhile, it's correct that Australian girls refer to sexy young men as spunks. That makes me smile - if only they knew what they really meant! (ed: thanks for that overkill Brian

Leap is British slang for sexual intercourse.
An illegal or false marriage.
Toilet (originally outside but now any): e.g. the classic "Aussie curse", i.e. "may your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny down!" There is an ongoing theme in Austrlain urban mythology about the redback spider that hides under the toilet seat and leaps out to bite yer bum (or worse) when you go to satisfy natures urges.. In fact this is based on reality in 'the old days' few homes had indoor plumbing and most used outdoor dunny's a la Shrek (basically just holes in the ground with an improvised seat over it. Redback spiders like dark moist conditions which the dunny provided, and the crap attracted flies which of course was an ideal food supply. Therefore the old style dunny was an ideal place for these things to live. You won't find them indoors often though so using the loo in Australia isn't often a dangerous experience - often.
A leap, a long step.
n 1 party-girl, he says, to put it delicately. A girl easier to party on than other girls. Much the same as a “slapper,” but slightly less extreme and a little more unisexual. Tarts spend hours perfecting make-up, hair and clothes before going out and waiting at the side of the dance floor to be pulled. At the end of the evening, there’s a tendency for the tarts to slide towards slapperdom, just to make sure all that lip gloss doesn’t go to waste. The word may or may not be derived from “sweetheart.” 2 small cake with a filling - perhaps jam or fruit. So, when in Alice Through the Looking Glass, the rhyme goes “the knave of hearts, he stole the tarts,” he wasn’t leaping off with his arms full of easy young ladies. 3 sour (universal).
Anal intercourse.

adj for a moment. Not to be confused with the U.S. definition, “in a moment.” I was alerted to this by a Brit who heard a station announcement in Chicago that his train would be “stopping momentarily at platform 6” and was unsure as to whether he was supposed to take a running leap to get into it before it left.
A jumpthrough-your-ass project, exercise, or drill. Something silly that needs to be done NOW!
