A person from the Australian state of Queensland; used by New South Welshman in the derogative.
Explanation: the three eastern states of
Australia are Queensland in the north, Victoria in the south, and New South Wales between them. Using North
America as a guide, the states are colloquially known as Canada, Mexico and the USA respectively. As such, with canuck being a slang term for
Canadian, it too becomes a slang term Queenslander.
