In "The Ex," Kate Bristow does a humorous job of using modern Australian vernacular to convey both the womanising bludger qualities of an ex-husband with her own sense of exile from the man with whom she was once tied:
Two teams compete with defensive players, called Beaters, using Bludgers (yarn balls) to tag offensive players (Chasers), who charge the hoops at either end of the gym.
