Ok, it's been driving me nuts for a while. What the hey-ho-heck *does* "fair dinkum" mean?
I'm sure it's what the Russian's call 'bytovie' (loose trans: of or pertaining to life-- as in a particular area/place) but darned if I can figure it out. (sorry about the translation there, I don't have my dictionaries at lunch and no other word in English springs to mind for the concept). Maybe 'culturally dependent'?
Anyway, explanations welcome!
