Indeed, but it wouldn't tell you why *I* and the people I know use it. Many
don't use it anymore. It was far more popular in the 80s (there was a Kids TV
show with that name). But most Australians today have forgotten about it, and
are nostalgic about different things from the 80s. I and those I converse with
might have different memories, which is why we use it, and others don't.
