Definitions

1. all
2. (pulling an) all-nighter

Borrowed from English, this word can mean "oar" (a paddle used to row a boat) or it can be used to mean "all-nighter," referring to staying up all night. In casual conversation, younger speakers often use it in phrases meaning to pull an all-nighter, such as before exams.
