Aussie Word of the Week

have a shocker

We are referring to something dreadfully bad. Here in Australia, it is commonly used in sport for a bad game. Either one that has been watched or one competed in. As in, had a shocker last Saturday.

This has of course been extended into rhyming slang care of the name of Australian entertainer, Barry Crocker. This has been shortened simply to barry, meaning an error, mistake or poor performance. A little unfortunate for Mr. Crocker.
