Queeq it is, and much surprise that he was not guessed before!
"Non-hairies must establish their own non-hairy establishment, unless they're going to see Queeq for a scalp scrubbing for exfoliating. Maybe Lady Dim has a baldy conditioner to make their noggin shine to better identify them. My, what a shiny head you have there, my baldy one."
Certainly was.
"Watching "have I got news for you" last night and heard the funniest thing: -
On discovering Australia, Cpt Cook started to explore with the help of an aborigine man. On seeing a kangaroo Cook said, "what's that?" and the aborigine replied, "kangaroo". And so the creature was named.
However the aboriginal word "kangaroo" roughly translates as "I don't know"!!!! Don't know how true that is but it definitely should be."
Might be a delay on me answering this one because I have neglected to write down who it was.
Ok, if it saves me the bother, I'll stick with that... later on, a definitive reply is posted:
"Heres what I found on the word Kangaroo:
A widely-held belief has it that the word kangaroo comes from an Australian Aboriginal word meaning 'I don't know'. This is in fact untrue. The word was first recorded in 1770 by Captain James Cook, when he landed to make repairs along the northeast coast of Australia. In 1820, one Captain Phillip K. King recorded a different word for the animal, written 'mee-nuah.' As a result, it was assumed that Captain Cook had been mistaken, and the myth grew up that what he had heard was a word meaning 'I don't know' (presumably as the answer to a question in English that had not been understood). Recent linguistic fieldwork, however, has confirmed the existence of a word gangurru in the northeast Aboriginal language of Guugu Yimidhirr, referring to a species of kangaroo. What Captain King heard may have been their word minha, meaning 'edible animal.'"
