Ahhh! Mr Google explains it all! Thanks for directing me there, Lilac_jive. I am now enlightened.
Mike L: I didn't even know "spruiker" was Australian until you said.
I wrote to my sister in England awhile back and told her it was so cold that I had to put a "doona" on my bed. She was confused by that word. Apparently "doona" is Australian too. (It means "duvet"). I was born in England, but I guess I've been in Australia so long I've started to speak the language. I'll be throwing boomerangs and wrestling crocodiles any day now.
