Of course not! 'tis as much your clan as mine.

"Fair Dinkum" is Australian for "truth". Contextually changing to mean "the genuine article", "honesty" or "you're kidding?"

"Fair Dinkum leather" is the real McCoy
"I don't think you're being fair dinkum" could be a reproach
"The shark had four heads? Fair dinkum!?"

I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....

A fair dinkum laughing Hyena!
