Shelia was used for years as a slang word for a female in Australia …..and still is a bit , my neighbour still uses it as a slang word “ Hey did you see that Sheila “
Jan is another name we use in Aussie land when not happy about something . That stated from a yellow pages add on TV the boss is yelling out of a two story building at her fleeing employee “Not Happy Jan” cause she forget to add the advert for the yellow pages It’s still a widely used line
Yes, I first heard it in Crocodile Dundee. He used it to mean a girly girl. My former neighbor Zek that claimed to be from distant Aborigine always teased me when I wore makeup and dressed up saying, I was getting all Shelia on him. My dad called me a Sally when I tried to avoid some jobs playing the girl card.
Actually my DIL is called Sheila she’s from the Phillipines and apparently it’s quite a common name there Yep Paul Hogan uses lotsa slang in his movies and in general, seen him on TV interview recently he never changes ,still talks the same in real life he’s an Aussie treasure as is Ernie Dingo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernie_Dingo @Faye Fox
Okay, I dropped into the Susan thread and ^^THIS^^ greeted me at the very top of Page 11. I had to go back to see exactly what/who would cause such an utterance. I'm glad it's not Susan. I mean, if someone who has not made a single comment received such a label, this is the toughest crowd I've ever seen.
Ima waitin’ for a “blond” reference. I mean, stuck in the notices section of a forum? I’d hate to see her in one of those turnstile type doors at a department store.
