Ribh's D'Coopage

I had 3 dyslexics. I worked my butt of to ensure they were all literate by the end of Primary school. There is NO excuse. I will now remove myself & my soapbox before I say something unforgiveable. :D
Agree, there's no excuse. I have mild dyslexia but I spend my days reading and writing and I love it. I think bedtime stories played a big role in constructing my literacy. And I'm super grateful to aunts and grandparents and to dad for reading to me and buying me great books.
 
Yet another new Aussie phrase. I can understand it's meaning via context clues but what is the origin if you don't mind sharing?
I'm so sorry @BY Bob. That's a Ribhism, not an Aussieism. A squib is a small firework that makes a hissing noise before exploding & I've played on the put it in your pipe & smoke it. I have a uni friend who is always rolling her eyes @ what I do with well known idioms. :idunno
