I love the word Drongo.

Conjures up a few memories. Rarely used these days.

To get the best of Aussie vernacular, step off the beaten track.

The ignoring of the Geneva conventions, the "oversight" of the need for warrants for internal phone tapping, the selecting of the audience for "public" speeches by the prez, and making those selected sign waivers stating they would not heckle the shrubby one, the propaganda campaign for medicare, the invasion of Iraq, the "open borders" policy, geeze, I could go on and on..............

Oh, and the above is not particularly ocker at all.

I'd be more inclined to say, "'Hey mate, stop ****** on my parade, or I'll take a fence paling to your dog, root your missus, and drive your car like it's stolen" (which, of course, it will be).
