What does the term "it looks shmicko" mean? My boyfriend has been calling me Shmicko for 3 years now, and when we googled it for a laugh, we came across loads of car sites, with text saying things like "keep the outside shmicko." We're now debating whether it means "standard" or "flash." Obviously, I am hoping for the latter, but knowing my luck it means "jeez, mate, only a drongo would be seen in a wreck like that! Throw it on the barbie!" Please help settle our debate.

Schmicko or schmick (also spelt without the first 'c') is used in Oz to express approval when something looks reeeaaallly good.

However, the version originating from Belfast has another meaning ...

soozmac, If your boyfriend says you look as shmicko as his new 4 burner barbie, you could suggest that it is not worth lighting you up to cook one little sausage !

Kempie - hah hah hah, how funny is that! I was so impressed when I rwad the first half of your reply, then I looked at the link and my jaw hit the floor. He's gonna die laughing when he sees it. Damn!

Nel1 - eh? This wee sausage is worth any bonfire! :o)

In case you're wondering, Shmicko is from my initials - shmcc. Which became shmick. Then shmicko, shmicker, shmickadoo etc etc etc.
