    nope tis true, my kids use it all the time..... the slang term i mean.

    like when i took 1 of them to the flicks for his birthday, met his mates there who had pressies for him, 1 of them handed him a plastic bag full of stuff so I asked him what was in it, "ket" he answered.

    I nearly shat :D

    Nice tires on your car bud; aye canny.
