Bette Midler On Australian Slang: “I’m entranced by it. Some Australians were over here the other day ”“ two girls who were very funny and loose and one man.who was rigid and uptight. The fellow got angry when the girls started telling me to say things like ”˜hooroodigger.’ Apparently the stuff they were telling me was real low-rent. He said never call anybody an ocker. But from what Iknow of Australians, their humour is brilliant. I’m looking forward so much to that part of the tour. So much of what I do is low-rent humour.” (October 1978)
