Being a Kiwi, this was my first intro to Aussie culture when I got here !!

My Wife is an expert, and remorseless Canetoad hunter, hockey stick, or cricket bat..................and an LED torch as an aim-point !


The nicknames are used on construction & building sites. Occasionally elsewhere.
I have a list of far less publishable ones that come from the drilling industry.................no way they can be listed here.
