A hog leg is a really thick marijuana joint.
A pinner or skeeter leg is a shitty mostly paper skinny marijuana joint.
Skeeter being short for mosquito.
Skeeter also being a popular redneck nickname. Usually a skinny high energy male that could also be nicknamed Speedy.
The female equivalent of Skeeter and Speedy seems to be Cricket. Have never met a Cricket that weighed over 110lbs and usually they are blond.

What I am getting is that adding 'o' to the end of words is some newish? Ausralian thing. There are a few videos about it on YouTube.
Kinda like the old American irish 'boyo' meaning a guy dude fella or also as part of a threat...as in 'yousa betta wawch yer yob boyo'
I also recall in the 1980s the use of 'fucko' and there is also 'sicko'.
And this song...like this band.
The Chats - Smokos

Not a local or regional thing, but something that's become a personal colloquialism: Describing various disorienting or distracting nuisances, like blinding sunlight or oppressive heat or obnoxious, overpowering, painful noise as "pissing" out of, onto, into, all over, etc.
Ex: "I can't see shit with the sun pissing right in my face/pissing all over me!" or, "I can't stand driving with the sun pissing directly into my eyes!". I don't know where it came from, but it's probably informed by "pissing down rain" or something.
