Translating English thread!

[Ben Reilly]

Yeah, so we don't really all always speak the same language.

I came across a term tonight: "noogs." I suspect it's a nasty word for Australian aborigines from context. Veya? Beekeeper? (Do we have any other Aussies?)

[Guest]

Never heard of that one.

umm nuh not heard of it, sure it not meant to noobs, G and B are next to each other.   

Abo and Boinga are the slang for Aboriginal, generally. There are some regional variations that play on the name of the local tribe.

Hmm. This fellow was talking about Australia and said something along the lines of -- "fucking noogs, been here 60,000 years and the only thing they ever invented was sticks."

People from Chattanooga?  

Seriously maybe he meant Noongars:

uhh I still think it is a typo (B is next N too)
Boonga or something like that (Boinga is how I would write it)it is not really a word you translate to english.

U r right it is about the natives.. it is a real bad one.. but it is also a joke (I hope it is mainly a joke)

Why are Aboriginals called Boonga's?

It's the sound they make when you hit them with a car.    

Not actaully sure why the got the name, the Name is older than the Joke (have a feeling it is older than cars too)
