Clive on Question Time has just enlightened me about
rorting. He says it's a good old Australian word.
I don't get out so often among the Aussie diaspora, so I've only ever met a rort in the posts of John McMullan - thrice if I'm not mistaken in recent months.
Wikipedia tells me its first recorded use was in 1919 though it has some London slang antecedents.
So is it Aussie or Kiwi? Which jurisdiction has more experience of it?
