    Is the rest of the world version coming with subtitles for the Oz-slang challenged?

    Interesting origin on that one. Drongo was the name of 1920's race horse that failed to win a race after 30 or 40 starts. Ironically he was good enough to run in 2 Melbourne cups & ran for 2nd & 3rd places in some high stakes races. Just never a winner .

    John, it wasn't meant as an insult, but with the cultural differences, it could easily be construed that way. Certainly it isn't something you would say to a friend without a smile on your face. I've been called a Drongo many a time by my own mother when I stuffed up as a kid, but the tone of voice when she said it, wasn't an insult, and that is something that just doesn't come across in the world of internet. And I am sure the tone in which Monkey would have said it, would also have had a smile included .
