Mye Goodye Cosynes, and my Feathered Friend, Thank you Aunty Brenda for taking such a strong grip of the situation. In closing the subject from my side, it is necessary for one to understand what was actually said and meant. >>> Is there any dictionary (to your knowledge) > of Australian slang?.<<< > I no speak umm forked tongue !!!... In Afrikaans, slang, pronounced 'slung', means snake. So if you ask me if I have a dictionary on Australian 'snakes', I do not know, because I am not a snake, and therefore I speak without a forked tongue, as a snake could not. Therefore, I did not insult your Indian race and people, but rather, you have misunderstood me. As a matter of interest, over the last few months, I have been wanting to ask this list if there are any Injun Markhams that would like to contribute to the section on the website "A Place I Call Home". This would be done in the usual fashion, where you could write your 'Bio', have a picture of yourself, a picture of the place you call home (Umm wigwam), a picture of your favourite bow and arrow, and an insight to your culture. Contact me directly if you or any-one else would like to contribute to this section on the "TW" website... Sir Ken Markham, K.C.B., (95)...
