Last week I heard these two new words…
Last week was the end of the school year and those students finishing school have a party.. much like the disco or ball at a ‘graduation’ party. Here in Australia it seems to be mixed up with the spring break approach of the USA. All the young people gather at the beach and have a week long party. Most say it’s time to spend with friends, make new friends, drink, dance and hang out. All these are ‘schoolies’. The police are on the lookout for any disturbances. This schoolie week makes the news every day.
Now when this party gets gate crashed by those who are older and obviously not a school leaver, intent on having some fun and maybe even cause some ruckus things can be bad. These non-school leavers are called ‘toolies’. They are supposedly bent on causing problems via drugs or drink and take advantage of young folks. Police are on the lookout for toolies who can spoil the fun for the young people. The news during the week had the police chief of a Gold Coast talking about the toolies and schoolies…… Whatever next to make evening news?
