I learned 3 new Aboriginal words today.

Durringa = echidna.

Booray = fart

Goonah = shit

Don't know if you knew these ones already, but:

Mudiwara = possum

Mudi = vagina

We had a possum called the former. Our affectionate nickname for him was the latter, until we learned its meaning. The guy laughed his head off. Bet he's been dining out on that one ever since.
