I think it means two things, but I gave my answer as the slang (strine?) version. Cobber.

Conversationally - to give someone a good thrashing (usually used in sport). Cricket commentators use it all the time.

It's also a wood finish - it usually comes in flakes, which you dissolve and then paint on the wood.

The options don't cover it for me. I don't use it in conversation. I don't remember ever reading it at all, except here. However, I picked that option since I've heard it used in conversation. (... but very rarely, since I seldom discuss woodwork or fights.)

Cool. I lurv exploring slang and it's usage.

I have to admit that I mostly picked this up from and used it around older relatives. So is in common current usage in Oz?

I had no idea this meant anything other than a wood polish made from beetles. Clearly I have been neglecting the cricket - as in the sport, not the beetle.

I like zebra's answer best :)

actually, it's a tie between zebra's and amanda's answers.
