A descriptive term for a person with:
- orange hair (ranging from deep sandy coluour to burnt orange, (often described as "red" hair); and
- light complexion usually with dominant freckles, especially visible on the face.

Historic usage not intended to be derogatory - a term of endeerment. Similar example - "blonde" or "blondie".

Derived from the word orange or "oranger" - drawing from the typically orange hair and look.

Despite popular belief, the word ranga is not derived from "orangutan". These animals have a range of colours including browns, greys and reds, depending on gender, age, species, locale.
Mummy why are do they call that boy with the orange hair and freckles a "ranga"?

Me and my friend Izzy. We are the coolest people ever. Us rangas have many ranga powahhz which include burning fire, straightening/ironing/crimping/curling powahhz, and also giant scissor powahhz. i have eyeliner powahz also. Izzy doesn't though.
If you get too close to us, we'll either freak you out by yelling RANGAAAAAAA or burn you with our ranga powahhz. water makes our fire powahh stronger. blue fire is hotter than red fire.
We have a ranga symbol that all rangas should proudly wear. it is a small black heart about 1cm long with a red pen outline, worn on the index finger knuckle of the left hand.
wannabe rangas are "wrangas"
rangas that are failures (eg. fat, not proud of their ranganess, normal) are called retard failures. Yes, its very original.
Rangas should stay with their own kind and then mate so we can make ranga a true race.
*random multiple choice question on board*
one choice is "fire"
Izzy: FIREE!!!!
Marli: YEAH, FIRE! RANGA POWAHHH!!!!!
Teacher:the answer is fire
Marli: yeaaaaaaah! RANGAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Izzy: RANGAAAAAAAA!
Everyone else: WTF? ROFLCOPTER!
*Marli and Izzy are now rolling on the floor laughing at their ranga powahhz and everyone else is laughing at them*
Marli: heh heh we'll burn everyone with our fire powahh!

A game created by some hip sydney chicks (Megan and Hobo) in which you punch the closest person when you see a ranga. Much like punch buggy but with rangas.
Megan: "Haha look at that ranga Bonnie" *punches*
