an australian slang word from the early to mid 20th century meaning to set the dogs to attack onto something such as a rabbit or vermin.

in a modern context, a low brow word used by journalists in australia for lack of a dictionary or competency, or to provide a derogatory tone to a context.

similar phrases include “sicking”, “seeking” and “sooking” – all in the context of getting a dog into a state of excitement to pursue a foe – visible or not.
