Sorry. But the speaker laughed when he heard that and said, "you get more wise as you get older."

Why do you think that? It sounds like a guess, unless you know something we don't.
It's a shame you won't answer our questions.

I think he wants to say that you are more mature or cautious now. Not like when you were a child.

response please? This is pure nonsense "We were crocodiles games...". What are "crocodiles games" and should it be "crocodiles' games"? Or is it this https://www.silvergames.com/en/crocodile-simulator

From the little context we have, it sounds as if it's meant to mean soemthing like 'more cautious' — perhaps one of our Australian colleagues will be able to enlighten us?

Maybe it's a mistake for "happy".
But I'm confused about the two different versions too.. It's not just "grippy" that makes no sense, it's the whole thing.

otherwise....

Why is the text here in Dbox different from the text you posted and which is the actual text?
Other than "grippy" meaning "good adherence/grip" or having flu symptoms (grippe is French for flu) the only other place I've heard it was on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert where it was the first word on the "Word" segment, supposed to be about the truth or "truthiness" but really fake news.

The Colbert Report - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org › wiki › The_Colbert_Report
The first word used was "Grippy", and has changed to include, among others, "Megamerican", "Lincolnish", ...

How any of these meanings fit here I don't know. We need an Aussie to tell us if it's slang from there. But no point in guesswork

Australia.

This sounds like English by a non-native speaker, or bad translation. It doesn't mean anything to me.

Or could it be non-standard English? What country is it from?

He said "We were crocodiles games when we were kids. I wouldn't do it now." The other guy said "You are grippy now."

The only thing I found was "west-coast slang for cool". But that was in Urban Dictionary, which I tend to distrust because a single person can enter a term and it becomes gospel.
