Australian term for "portable cooler".

The word "Esky" is in fact a brand name produced by the company Nylex. The term originates from the word "eskimo" obviously for its cold connotations.
Its popularity has become so great during the years that the brand-name has now been used to describe all types of portable coolers whether made by the Esky Brand or not.
They come in many shapes, sizes and colours, but the most well known kind is normally used to store beers and ice. Every good aussie will have a nice large Esky ready for that next bbq occasion.

esky canary 

The first fruit or vegetable that begins to go off in an esky, most commonly a piece of broccoli. With a piece of broccoli, this becomes apparent as it begins to go yellow and limp. It signifies the short-lived future and imminent demise of the other perishable items within the esky, much as the death of a canary in the mines warns the miners that immediate action must be taken if they wish to live.
Ah shit, the esky canary is going yellow! Better finish off those vegies before it's too late.

Ernsky: You don't find much of them because it's a unique name. they are very shy people and don't realise how much they mean to people. when they get to know people they can act really dumb and nervous but they are actually pretty smart. they also have trouble opening up to people because of past events and because most of the time the name is possessed by a boy .
Hi ernsky

Ernsky: uh, hhhuh hi :)
