You should know that word. Maybe you have been hanging around too many yuppie peacenik types at those tofu rallies.
The term "Strine" derives from saying the word "Australian" through both closed teeth and the nose - a local accent that some "scholars" claim arose from the need to keep the mouth ("trap") shut against blow flies ("blowies").
