Down Under
The term ''Down Under'' is a colloquialism which is differently construed to refer to Australia and New Zealand or any South Pacific island country such as Fiji and Samoa. The term comes from the fact that these countries are in the Southern Hemisphere, "below" almost all other countries, on the usual arrangement of a map or globe which places cardinal north at the top. The term has been in use since the late 19th century and the persistence of the media use of the term has led to its wide acceptance and usage. The Men at Work song "Down Under" became a patriotic rallying song for Australians. The Russian-Australian boxing champion Kostya Tszyu was nicknamed "The Thunder from Down Under", as is Australian snooker player Neil Robertson. When the then Miss Australia Jennifer Hawkins was crowned as Miss Universe 2004 in Quito, Ecuador, she was called by the same nickname by host Billy Bush. According to Roger Ebert's tongue-in-cheek ''Glossary of Movie Terms'', the ''Down Under R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
