Having a Barry Crocker? ANU wordsmiths want to hear about it

Having a Barry Crocker? ANU wordsmiths want to hear about it 21 July 2021 If you know what it means to have a Barry Crocker or do the Harold Holt , wordsmiths at The Australian National University (ANU) want to hear from you. The Australian National Dictionary Centre (ANDC) is looking for new contributions for the Australian National Dictionary, with a focus on rhyming slang. Rhyming slang substitutes words with rhyming words, names or phrases shocker becomes Barry Crocker , undies becomes Reg Grundies and goal becomes sausage roll . ANDC Senior Researcher and Editor Mark Gwynn says it likely emerged in east London toward the middle of the 1800s and found its way to Australia very soon afterwards.

Mate : Where did it come from and what does it mean?

Mate : Where did it come from and what does it mean?

Normal text size Very large text size It’s such a little word. Mate. Small, but with long Australian legs, having survived and thrived through the convict era, the gold rushes, two world wars and the first two decades of the 21st century. Mate can mean many things in Australia, from the tenderest greeting to the whiplash of condemnation. It can radiate great goodwill or the oiliest insincerity. It depends on the intonation, the circumstances of its delivery and who is saying it to – or about – whom. Academics have expended much time and energy grappling with the word. A prime minister caused a national convulsion when he tried and failed to co-opt mate’s conceptually broader companion, mateship, for a preamble to the Constitution.
