Dirth was recently formed in early 2013 from the inner Melbourne city streets referring to what should have been a living baby being born from it's mother, thus "birth" but instead the baby has come out dead, hence "
dirth". Can be used as both a noun and verb in these instances.
Noun: The physical
emergence of a
stillborn baby or other
lifeless young from it's mother. What was meant to be the start of life as a physically separate being but instead is the start of death of a physically separate being.
Verb: Give dirth to (a stillborn or lifeless baby).
Though the term dirth is perhaps more commonly used as a noun, adjective, verb or adverb when referring to certain dishes of the Australian cuisine common to the East Melbourne suburbs.
James: "Yo
Vic, what's cooking? Is that dirthed chicken I smell?"
Vic: "Yeah man, I was feeling pretty dirthy today and this is the dirthiest of chickens. Can someone give me a
hand over here dirthing this?"
James: "That's
dirth as"
