Did you know that a well-performing racehorse inspired an Australian slang term for "slow-witted"?
Drongo (1 August 1920 — after 18 June 1926) was a famous Australian thoroughbred racehorse. He is most well-known for being the origin behind the Australian slang term 'drongo' to mean someone who's 'clumsy', 'slow-witted', or even a 'no-hoper'.
