Alex Bennett (Home And Away)
Alex Bennett is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera ''Home and Away'', played by Nick Freedman. The serial's producers thought of Freedman for the role of "easy-going hippy" Alex, having seen his previous work in other television dramas. Freedman was hesitant about accepting the role due to his career as a musician, so he only signed a year-long contract. He found the demands of filming the weekly serial intense, especially as he was used to late nights while performing with his band. He made his first appearance during the episode broadcast on 16 October 1995. In addition to his hippy ways, Alex was portrayed as "laid-back" and "a real romantic at heart". Freedman said he was "a good guy", who had endured a difficult childhood and had become "a bit of a drifter". Alex is a cartoonist and painter, who becomes a "have-a-go hero" when he saves Shannon Reed (Isla Fisher) and Selina Cook (Tempany Deckert) from a group of youths. He later saves Selina from hi ...

Dag (slang)
Dag is an Australian and New Zealand slang term, also ''daggy'' (adjective). In Australia, it is often used as an affectionate insult for someone who is, or is perceived to be, unfashionable, lacking self-consciousness about their appearance and/or with poor social skills yet affable and amusing. It is also used to describe an amusing, quirky and likeable person (as in, "He's a bit of a dag") and is non-pejorative. The term was more widely used in the 1970s due to the popular New Zealand comedy of Fred Dagg (John Clarke). The term may be simply affectionate, such as when it was used to describe the recipes in the enduringly popular '' The Australian Women's Weekly Children's Birthday Cake Book''. Differentiated from ''bogans'', whose accents are presumed to indicate working class or uneducated origins, ''dag'' refers to being unfashionable, eccentric and fool-like and hence has no necessary ties with social class or educational background. The literal meaning is a dung-caked loc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
