durry

Etymology 1
. Possibly (putative obsolete brand of roll-your-own tobacco) +.

David Bradley, Australian Journal of Linguistics (1989) suggests that it may be derived from a widely used brand of loose tobacco used for roll-your-owns, Bull Durham, clipped and resuffixed with the most productive suffix for forming new colloquial words in Australian English.

Suggested that it was a term brought back from ANZAC forces as a Dhurrie Rug and a cigarette are both rolled.

Suggested Natural progression of Australian slang from Dart. "Sling us a dart", "Sling us a durry".
