peg


to throw, usually with strength (similar to the South Australian/Victorian term, 'piff'): Peg the ball at him!

Contributor's comments: I grew up in Queensland (Sunshine Coast) and only moved to Central Gippy (Gippsland) last year and had never heard the word piff until then. We used to "peg" things at each other, i.e. peg a ball of paper at the teacher.

Contributor's comments: I am from Victoria, and we "piff" things. I have never heard of "peg".

Contributor's comments: To "peg it" can also mean "kick the bucket".
