"Strine" -- Australian slang -- is invading American speech,
says
Tom Dalzell, the author of two books on U.S. slang. Thanks to more
Australian movies and TV shows becoming hits in America, not to
mention
the 2000 Olympics, terms such as "no worries", "agro" (aggravated),
"walkabout" and "crikey" (exclamation of surprise) are being heard in
the States more frequently. (Brisbane Courier-Mail) ...That's shonky!
If that drongo thinks the trend is new, he's berko.
