Here's a few explanations, just in case:<BR/><BR/>UTE - I think you would call it a pick-up truck,<BR/><BR/>ESKY - a portable food/drink cooler (esky is a brand name but is now used to refer to any cooler, in the same way that you call any vacuum cleaner a Hoover),<BR/><BR/>KELPIE - a cattle dog,<BR/><BR/>THONGS - flipflops, definitely not G-strings,<BR/><BR/>SWAGGIE - a tramp (they walk from farm to farm asking to do odd jobs in return for some food. They carry their bedding, etc. in a roll, called a swag, on their back. Lots of 'swaggies' around during the Depression but rarely encountered these days - I guess they can collect the Dole now.)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901064145483995261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-1134052729914259852005-12-08T09:38:00.000-05:002005-12-08T09:38:00.000-05:00my computer is being slow for some reason..I will ...my computer is being slow for some reason..I will have to come back later and check it outeyes_only4himhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09065691170535846749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13772881.post-1134030516037096342005-12-08T03:28:00.000-05:002005-12-08T03:28:00.000-05:00You know something funny?
