An aussie phrase.

Question

Okay, people out there who know Aussie stuff.
My wife is reading a script from someone Down Under and came across this sentence:
Lucio's toey.
"toey" I guess in the sense that one might say that, for instance, "Lucio is touchy" but what the hell does it mean to be toey.

I suppose that Aussie's are as likely to make typos as anybody else and maybe this is just one of those.
But then again, it's always possible that this word actually has some regional meaning with which we in Brooklyn are simply unaware and so I hand it off to those with broader international credentials than I possess.
Toey?

Really? I lived in Australia for a couple years.
I lived a sort of footloose life, moving from Deakin to Cook and then Narrabundah, and then spending a few months in Sydney and traveling up the coast through Queensland. I go back to visit friends every few years. Canberra is probably Australia's most boring city, but I always find things to do there.

I'd venture to propose it's the most boring city on the planet. The locals said it was a planned community that forgot to plan for fun.

I'm dying to visit and see all the great stuff I missed, basically everything that isn't Sydney, Ayer's Rock (apologies, can't remember the proper name they use now or Adelaide or Melbourne.
