Sheila

I was thinking that a sheila was a female kangaroo, and that made me wonder if anyone was actually named that in Australia.

But I looked it up, and it's actually slang for a woman.

So, my question remains. But besides that, the fact is that the Aussies have the best slang in the world. Take these examples:

Bluey : pack, equipment, traffic ticket, redhead
Bluey : blue cattle dog (named after its subtle markings) which is an excellent working dog. Everyone's favourite all-Aussie dog.
Bluey : heavy wool or felt jacket worn by mining and construction workers.
Bluey : bluebottle jellyfish
Bingle : motor vehicle accident
Bonzer : great, ripper
Budgie smugglers : men's bathing costume


And those are just the highlights of the B's!

Once again, I fear that I may have been born on the wrong continent...
