Almost afraid to ask, but, 'root'?
Aussie slang; root = fuck.
Thanks, learned something new.
No worries mate! I’m not 100% sure but I’ve been told that it comes from another Aussie slang saying - when something is ‘rooted’ it’s ‘fucked’, meaning that it’s messed up in some way, which comes from how tree roots mess up plumbing/foundation of a house.
If a house is ‘rooted’ then it’s fucked beyond repair, so by extension root = fuck for its other meaning (to have sex).
A misspelling of "room," perhaps?
I'll buy that for $1.
