Welcome Tony.
I was starting to think you were going under an alias all this time.
As far as I'm aware Ivan has had no contact with this forum. He must be a lurker.

I still haven't worked out what 'emydura' stands for.

Emydura is a genus of freshwater short-neck turtles. I studied Emydura macquarii for my Masters degree. You get this species in the Brisbane River. Actually the Brisbane River was one of five different drainages that I included in my studies. My study site on the Brisbane River was at Kholo Crossing.
For whatever reason at the time I just used that as my login name.

That's sad. I never picked up on that.
Dear 2tone, another name for "grits" is polenta...same thing just sounds
better. Please explain "knob" and "ocker". I like Aussie slang and American
slang is getting old and over-used (i.e. awesome). A glossary would be
most helpful in many ways! ;>)

Here's something that should be said (yelled) while leaning against a gum tree, covered in red dust and waving flies away from your face with your right hand and a beer in your left. ( say fast and uniterupted )
''Ya gunna wonna getya tucka inya wenya dunya yakka wakka!''
Ozpaph will translate...............

Thank you so much, 2tone. Now I have two new terms to yell out my
car window when cut off at a turn light. Any other suggestions welcome.

abax - "oker" is NOT a perjorative! No more than Yankee or Confederate in their respective milieux.
