KEEK
GAZOB
DONAH
SLEEVER
JOSSER
CLINER
DOXIE
OOPIZOOTICS

I'm told 'cliner' is Yiddish for 'small'. (The German for 'small' is 'klein'.) Slang for a woman, or a girl.

I'd love to know what 'gazob' means! C.J. Dennis uses it in the Bloke.

[keats]

gazob
A foolish person.

keek
To have a look

cliner
A young girl.

and I'm guessing a josher is a joker.
