African-like nonsense word used in a Gary Larsson cartoon.
In the cartoon, Tarzan is sitting up in bed with an open diary on his lap and pencil in hand, scratching his head in deep thought. The caption reads: "Tarzan contemplates yet another diary entry." The pages of the open diary reveal, on every page, the single thought: "Oongawa".

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
