An Australian word, which is derived from a
type of bird of that name (or so I'
m informed) that lives down here. It was observed by the "
Old Australians" as acting rather crazily, and thus an Aussie will call someone a drongo to say that they'
re an idiot. There are a number of alternative Australian pay-outs of this nature and calibre, such as clown, galah, wakka, minda, and many others.
