Well it is Aussie Slang day and this week we have these gems.
Banana Bender: Someone from Queensland
Cane Toad: Also someone from Queensland
Cockroach: Someone from New South Wales
Crow Eater: Someone from South Australia
Sandgroper: Someone from Western Australia
Where did "cockroach" come from? That sounds rude.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea but agree it doesn't sound nice
DeleteI've only heard of few of these but never use them Jo-Anne.
ReplyDeleteInsulting nicknames to be sure, Jo-Anne. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I agree
DeleteCan't help but wonder about the origins of these.
ReplyDeleteI do wonder how they came about except for the Queensland ones those I get
DeleteAmusing as always... probably better with context. Except the cockroach one.
