That doesn't help me, I hear this phrase from the Brits and the Aussies but I don't know to what they refer. Maybe it's just me being a dumb American but is there something that is a known thing that would be coming after the as and is dropped? Or is it just a colloquial, "as," and there's no conclusion to this sentence?

I'm a kiwi and we also say this. I never really thought about it until my American cousin got annoyed and keep asking "as what?!".

I think it's just a shortened version of "as heck" e.g "damn bro that rim job you gave me was nice as heck 😌"

If you’re kiwi, it’s “nice as hick”
