It's not hard to speak "Maine" anyway. Just drop off the "r" from words and replace it with "ah".

dodger - bread

[digrar]

Dodger Bread.

General Australian. From 1897 (AND). Attested in numerous sources.

Originally from a British dialect term ‘dodge’ meaning ‘a large cut or slice of food’, it may also have entered Australia through the US which had the term ‘corn-dodger’ meaning ‘a cake of corn bread’ from the 1830s.


This is one of the many words that we are losing from our lexion. "Strine" used to be a big part of our everyday life, but TV and American pop culture in particular has taken it's toll. :(

I've never heard bread referred to as "dodger". I'm as Australian as Steve Irwin and I've never heard it called that. That must be Eureka Stockade era slang.

That's really sad (that you're like Steve Irwin :P ) I feel for you mate. ;)
I grew up in the bush and I've heard it a bit. You're right though it's not in common usage these days.
There was an author called John O'Grady who also wrote under the name of Nino Culotta. He wrote a lot of books containing Australian Strine in the 50's and 60's (with Graem Kennedy being a topic of conversation at the moment you might have seen a clip of him in "They're a Weird Mob" which was a Jonh O'Grady/Nino Culotta book). The Nino Culotta books give a good description of how hard it was for the masses of immigrants that came here after WWII, to understand what we were on about regarless of whether they spoke English or not. O'grady used Dodger a fair bit in his books so I'm assuming it was in common usage back then.

"They're a Weird Mob" was a ripper, one of the funniest books I've read. I have always wondered, what is his real last name?
But I've never heard "dodger" either.

[digrar]

Have you read the other Nino Books mate, Cop This Lot and Gone Fishing, they're both very good too.

[Opening Batsman]

Didn't know they existed, but I'm on the look out for 'em now, thanks mate. :D

I lived in the US for a while so I had to field questions about Steve Irwin on a near daily basis. :D He was born in Essendon as well, which is a good thing. In all seriousness, the only thing me and Irwin probably have in common is Australian citizenship and a love of the bush.

Thanks for the info re: Nino Culotta.
