"FAIR DINKUM"

hi ya all

I read this atrticle and had a good laugh over it..

I think many Aussie's in here will too..

definition:

The term in question in the article is the benign Australian phrase “fair dinkum,” which as an adjective means “real” and as an expression means “Seriously?” or “For real?”

some examples of how fair dinkum is used:

"Mate, are you fair dinkum?" - Kind Sir, are you telling me the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

"Mate, I'm fair dinkum, bloody oath I am" - Why of course!!

"He's a fair dinkum drongo" - He is honestly quite a fool who isn't too bright and gets nothing right. The fair dinkum adds the honestly part to the translation, the rest comes from drongo.

"You have to let him know you're fair dinkum" - You have to let him know you are bona fide.

"Fair dinkum?" - No ######?

enjoy
