sense 3, about the fecal matter. - TheDaveRoss 04:27, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
- I am an Australian, and I can verify that it is used here. It isn't the most common word, but it is certainly used.User:Wally 09:40, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
I googled "dunny nard" "crapper nard" and "nard shit" and came up with nard. Rfvfailed. Andrew massyn 19:54, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
def =
Australian Slang) A term used to describe faecal matter, used as an alternative to "turd", "brown snake", "chocolate hostage", "coaxial cable", "dropping the kids at the pool", "sewer serpent", "blind mullet", "poo", "crap", "nugget".
- I need to go to the dunny to punch out a nard.
Noun[edit]
Regardless of the controversy, am I not correct that this is a noun, not an adjective? I don't know how to change the template, etc.
Etymology 2[edit]
Alteration of "nuts"? I suspect alteration of "nads" (vulgar abbreviation of "gonads") is a more plausible etymology, but that's original research so I shan't do anything about it.

- Your conjecture is plausible. Wiktionary has no restrictions on original research, though references are greatly appreciated. A weasel word like "possibly" can provide sufficient warning for users. A "see also nads" would be a useful, low-key way of letting a reader share your conjecture. Also, an error in etymology does not usually have serious real-world consequences.
