  • Scungiesはくだけているが、「バジー密輸」より良いのはなぜ？

    Scungies Is A Lousy Word, But Still Better Than “Budgie Smugglers” 「バジー・スマグラーズ（budgie smugglers）」、ようするに、「バジーを密輸する服」は賛成のパンツ型水着のことだ。世界的に有名になった言葉だが、 その表現が生まれるずっと前から、オーストラリアのサーファーたちには ぴったりした水着を指す言葉があった。しかも、それは決して褒め言葉ではなかった。 “Budgie smugglers” gets all the international fame. But long before that phrase existed, Australian surfers already had a word for tight swimming briefs. And it wasn’t a compliment. Meaning スカンジーズとは、ぴったりとした男性用の水着ブリーフのことで、スピード社の 水着（Speedo）とほぼ同義語だ。この言葉は、より古いオーストラリア俗語 “scungy”（汚らしい、感じが悪い）に由来しており、1970年代のサーフカルチャーに おいて、それを着る人への軽い侮蔑が込められていた。シドニーの一部地域では、 ネットボールのスカートの下にはくブリーフ型下着を指すこともある。 Scungies are brief, close-fitting men’s swimming trunks, essentially another word for Speedos. The word comes from the older Australian slang term scungy, meaning dirty or disagreeable, reflecting a certain 1970s surf-culture disdain for anyone who wore them. In some parts of Sydney, “scungies” also refers to girls’ brief sports underwear worn beneath a netball skirt. Example “The ultimate disgrace for a…

  • Almost Over The Line

    It looks like Mrs. Kangaeroo has decided we have been at our current home for long enough and it’s time to start looking for something bigger. It’s understandable, but given my difficulties in finding and holding jobs in our time together, we’ve had to take what we could get. Thankfully, we’ve been gifted with a tad of stability. Anyway, the ever-industrious better half of this partnership is plugging away at something.

  • Wattle Y’Know

    As the tiny yellow blossoms slowly starting to open on the wattle trees in our garden are showing, spring is gradually inching closer to realization, but it can never happen fast enough. Cold seems to linger for an inordinately long time at the end of every winter, especially as I advance further into old age and the chill’s effects deepen. But that’s usually because I expect too much of March, having the false impression of it being a month where things warm up despite decades of experience proving that to be the contrary. One highlight of March for me, though, is the large number of wattle trees on show. They…

  • Don’t Think!

    A good mate of mine often quotes William Shakespeare’s Hamlet by reminding me that, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Kangaeroo is prone to over-thinking, and this week is looming as a tough one. There’s plenty on the schedule, both professionally and privately. And it’s still bloody cold and dark. Moreover, riding up some hills yesterday and being easily overtaken and outpaced by another old codger, then hearing my heavy breathing along the river this morning sparked another reminder from Hamlet that I am fat and scant of breath! But in better news, the relatively mild weather of the past few days has hinted…
