Onion. A.k.a “The Onion”
First coined by Richard “Scraggs” to describe a speciality of the person which they do better than any of their mates. Their “go to drink” when hitting the piss. A batsmen’s “go to
shot” which they nail.
A variation of “The “Onion” is also used by punters to describe a bet on
horse number 11 in the last race anywhere in the world. First coined by “Bad
Greg” McKenna when betting on
horse number 11 in the last race of the day in Western Australia. It has since spread as an urban
legend because of the number of times the 11 won at good odds. It has now spread amongst punters across the country who “back the 11 in the last”. When the 11 wins the punters communicate with a simple “Bang”
