I lament about the changing nature
Of acceptable mischief and fun
In society that is losing the sense of
The Australian larrikin son
Once upon a time, the Australian larrikin spirit
was acknowledged, tolerated, and even celebrated
Where does the word larrikin come from?
The term comes from British dialect larrikin
‘a mischievous or frolicsome youth’,
ultimately a form of larking (about)
‘indulging in mischievous fun’.

Paul Hogan is still alive and lives in California. His sidekick Strop (John Cornell) died last year……

Yes. Simple witty fun is best……What do we get today? Stand-up comics spewing crude gutter jokes. And the crowds yell out for more. What’s happened to our standards?
Wot’s standards?…….
