I think drongo and galah among my friends are partially artefacts of the fact a number of them are from the country, and partially the fact that I have a fair few quite old friends (decades older than me, even). My young friends only use either term for conscious affect ... usually when talking to me, the rotters.

Bush week had me obsessed. I ended up asking Gerry Wilkes (THE expert). Now if you can tell me why turmeric is pronounced tumeric, I'll be very happy!
