Akubra
{a-KOO-bra}
The quintessential Australian cowboy hat since at least the late 1800s.
More rugged and utilitarian in appearance than its American cousin the Stetson, its durability and all-weather use means make it particularly well-loved by Australian stockmen and farmers. Akubras (along with Mountcastles) are also worn by members of the Australian Defence Force.
Name believed to be derived from an Aboriginal word for head covering.

Traino
Oi, where the bloody hell are ya? Get to the traino already mate!
Passengers are reminded that- following complaints- the throwing of prawns on barbies is now prohibited at all metropolitan trainos. Penalties also now exist for bringing one's kangaroo onto the platform during its oestrus phase, and for releasing onto the tracks invasive species that the Australian ecosystem can’t handle. Your cooperation in these matters is much appreciated and we apologise for the inconvenience.

"Westralia- quite possibly the greatest of all Australian states! Certainly a damn sight better than Tasmania, and at least it's not Queensland!"

Teratopeirates
Literally, monster pirates. The worst kind of monsters and pirates imaginable. Entities such as you probably assumed exist only in your worst nightmares, and which are so evil and depraved that, in comparison to them, even Hitler seems like a peaceable and loving bloke. Fear teratopeirates like you have never feared anything else in life, because these monster pirates are coming for you and everyone/thing you love.
{ Terato- (Gk. stem of teras, "Monster") + -peirates (Gk. "Brigand, pirate") }
{ Terato- (Gk. stem of teras, "Monster") + -peirates (Gk. "Brigand, pirate") }

Throughout the vast shadowy world of thalassic traditions and folk stories there are no beings so terrible, no figures so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the teratopeirates, which are themselves neither simple monsters nor pirates, but yet which partake the dark natures, and possess the mysterious and terrible qualities of both.
2.
Seasoned human pirate: Arr, teratopeirates sighted! Say yer prayers maties, they be coming in fas- ARRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3.
Satan: What's that, some teratopeirates just arrived?! Hell no can I deal with that level of evil chaotic insanity, for the love of Christ send them back the way they came!!

Elon Musk: "I'm telling you man, soon as I'm done with SpaceX and Tesla it's on to rocketship firetrucks for me. Everything I've ever done will have been in vain if these don't become a thing!"
