Australians are known for their larrikin use of derogatory words as terms of endearment. Clearly, Regionalism was flourishing in places as far apart as Australia (where for instance there were very strong differences between laid-back, elegant Sydney and wackier larrikin Melbourne) and Austria (where Peter Blundell Jones explored the extraordinarily varied and original work of the Grazerschule). A touch of the larrikin stops you being constrained by what's possible or what isn't. |
