袋鼠名稱的由來

A common myth about the kangaroo's English name is that 'kangaroo' was a Guugu Yimidhirr phrase for "I don't understand you. According to this legend, Lieutenant Cook and naturalist Sir Joseph Banks were exploring the area when they happened upon the animal. They asked a nearby local what the creatures were called. The local responded "Kangaroo", meaning "I don't understand you", which Cook took to be the name of the creature. The Kangaroo myth was debunked in the 1970s by linguist John B. Haviland in his research with the Guugu Yimidhirr people.

還蠻好笑的，讓我想到VIVA以前畫的三國漫畫。

......南蠻語向上委員會................................

今日新語：孟獲！孟獲！

說文：孟獲乃南蠻語不知道之義

我猜VIVA很有可能是從這邊得到靈感，哈哈。
