quicko: flats, etc.

This is one of the few Australian words I've actually picked up and generally am capable of using without sounding like I'm trying ten times too hard (as Americans usually do when "borrowing" Australian phrases -- drives me nuts!  but perhaps that's a story for another day).  My flat, my flatmate, etc.  I even caught myself asking my brother about his flatmates ... in a house in Grand Rapids, Michigan!
