It's what you're likely to be called by your Australian mates if you're an idiot, done a stupid act, been a a bit of a dill, a loser even. It comes from constant reference and ridicule of a racehorse that went by the name of "Drongo", which in the 1920s couldn't win one race in 37 attempts!! That animal's only redeeming saving grace was that the losses were in good company on good racetracks."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178187013421719866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604178870636686801.post-67301093445646203712013-04-08T06:25:32.318+10:002013-04-08T06:25:32.318+10:00Thanks DesertDreams.
