"gymcel" would seem to be evidence of "-cel" becoming a libfix. I wonder now if we have seen/will see this more. Also whether it is currently coded for (young?) men.

"brekky" is yet another example of the extreme fondness that the Australians have for hypocorisms. :)

"fun-washing": And the -washing particle marches on!
