"Quotations"
The things under the "Quotations" heading which are still to be sorted, also apply to New Zealand English, not just Australian.

To be crook, as in sick.
In Australia, New Zealand and other colonies of England the term crook means to be sick. In historic literature prior to the 19th century the term appears in contemporaneous English too. It derives its origin from the same root as German krank, to be sick. 121.210.33.50 19:55, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
